WATTS 500313 2 Stage Undercounter Water Filter

Watts 2 Stage Undercounter Water Filter 500313 is a good product. The two-stage concept consists of a pre-filter to remove dirt and other elements, and a higher quality secondary filter to remove VOCs, lead, cysts, chlorine, particulates and more. I have been using this type of filter for decades and have found it to be a great filter that takes all the water used for drinking, cooking, coffee, beverage, soup, ice cubes and drinking this filter with greatly improved flavor and quality goes through. Change the filters twice a year on January 1st and July 1st (every six months) to ensure good water, and in 25 years of using this type of built-in filter, it works very well. For any city water or some groundwater, this is the ideal solution. When people ask about my filtering, I do an A/B test. First I give them a sample of filtered water and then I give them a glass of clean tap water for comparison. The answer is always the same with amazement at how amazingly different and better filtered water tastes. and the taste of filtered water is "tasteless". The natural taste of water is neutral, which means the elements in water should not add flavor to soups, coffee, anything you cook or drink. Filtered water, like the quality of this filtration system, cleans the water very well, bringing out the true aroma and flavor of the products. The result is the best taste of everything. One thing about bottled water is that companies add minerals to the water to improve the taste and mask the taste of water that has been in plastic bottles for a long time. Quality filtered water doesn't have that plastic bottle taste or added mineral flavor because filtered water is cleaner because you're getting it straight from the source, your filter. filtered water instead of soda or sugary drinks because it tastes so good. To this day, my kids (adults) drink more water than any other beverage, so the benefits of this don't end with great tasting and much cleaner water. Overall this is a quality system and by system I mean the filter housing. The first filters that come with the unit are carbon block filters, which are good, and carbon block filters are the type you want to use. The pre-filter can be of lower quality as it is designed to remove sediment and some compounds from the water to allow the 2nd filter (primary filter) to work more efficiently and last longer. The filter size is 10 inches for both filters.

Pros
  • Undercounter & Countertop Filtration
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model
