Review on πŸ’§ KOHLER 77686 NA Aquifer Cartridge Water Filtration System by Kham Fisk

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple and effective

I love Kohler's simple line of products - the 1 or 2 filter model and the 2 filter model are 2 identical filters connected in parallel to reduce flow to increase. This makes a lot of sense compared to sacrificing the quality of your filters. I've used 1/4 turn cartridges in my fridge for years and love how easy they are to replace and don't leak. The dual filter model has MUCH more flow than my fridge. I also like that the filters are welded in. It all looks very professional. I had to call a plumber to install this and a new faucet because I didn't have a 3/8" supply from the shutoff valve (I had 1/2"). If yours is 3/8, it could be a DIY job. Some things I don't like: - The in/out port is not marked on the outside of the device. To see you have to remove the top cover. This confused the plumber for a while. If you're paying $200 an hour, keep things as simple as possible. I drew the arrow with a felt pen. The plastic hoses were not cut off at the ends. The plumber said it shouldn't be a problem but I wasn't impressed.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
