Waterdrop AS13 Under Sink Water Filter, No Drilling Required Under Sink Water Filtration System, Reduce PFAS, PFOA/PFOS, 6 Stage Stainless Steel Under Sink Water Filter System

I've been using Waterdrop RC-3 EZ Change filters for a few years in another undersink filter, but wanted something with a full enclosure for the filter. I'd seen the AS-08, but this AS13 was even simpler, and a better buy during Prime Days.The AS13 uses 1/4" push-to-connect fittings for both hoses, and the filter I replaced also used 1/4" tubing, so installing it took less than 10 minutes. It's a shame, since the hoses feel like good quality, but I didn't need to use them. I am running the output to it's own faucet, as we already had one installed.I also added a little bit of food-safe silicone grease to the filter threads, to make opening and closing a little smoother. The threads are well-cut, but there's a lot of contact area, so anything to reduce friction is good. With the silicone, I was able to open and close the filter by hand, and I saw no leaks from closing it hand-tight. That said, they do include some good tools to assist.I let the new filter run for 5 minutes, per the instructions, and drew off a glass of water to taste. We live in an area with fairly good water, but I don't like the chlorine odor or taste, and the AS13 takes care of both. The filtered water tastes great, better to me than what was coming out of the RC-3 filter, but that one was nearly a year old.I also timed the flow (and remember this is all through 1/4" tubing, and from a dedicated water filter faucet). It filled a measured gallon pitcher in 56 seconds, a little better than what the instructions claim. It may slow down a bit over time, since we do have fairly hard water, but I'm very happy with the performance.

I am truly impressed by the design of the Stainless Steel no-drill WATERDROP AS13 water filter unit.The packaging was tidy and well-organized, and the instructions were clear and straightforward. This filter includes a handy double-sided tape countdown timer that you can place conveniently in your cabinet under the sink. The construction feels solid, featuring a braided stainless steel jacket on the hoses.Before I began the installation, I had a quick question about the best placement under the kitchen sink. To my delight, Peter from the inside sales team took the time to chat with me for about 10 minutes, sharing all the features and details about the filter. He was incredibly knowledgeable about how the product operates.Setting it up was a piece of cake, and I noticed no change in water flow. The taste of the water is absolutely fantastic.I will definitely be buying this again for other areas where I could use some filtration.Bill McGoldrickLancaster, Pennsylvania

This is a good water filter for under the kitchen sink. Not too difficult to install and cartridge lasted as expected.

I love this water filter! It has made such a huge difference in the taste and quality of my drinking water and ice from the ice-maker. .

I have been using this product for the past year, it's easy to install and then forget about it as it quietly works to filter the water. No hassle, no leakage, just clean water. TDS went down 20 points as compared to water straight from the tap.I did face some issues while changing the filter and year later, but the support team helped me out through the process and even sent me extra equipment to replace the filter. Thanks Robbie Li, Ramon and Rebecca!

This filter was very easy to install and the filtered water taste so much better. Since it has been almost a year in service, the filter needed to be changed. Unfortunately, I had difficulty unscrewing the housing and appeared to be seize. Contacted Carina from manufacturer's customer service and told her about my issue. She went ahead and sent me a replacement. One thing I did do differently the next time around was to coat the housing thread with food grade anti-seize lubricant to hopefully help when it's time to change the filter.

The filter cannot be changed, so unless you plan to just keep repurchasing the whole unit, you are better off saving your money. It is not worth $65. It doesn't function properly. The water has chunks as well but we have been able to flush those, but you will waste water flushing buildup just to get a clean drink. Had this for 6 months now and tried to change the filter early because our water is hard but honestly a whole home filtration system is a way better investment.To return your item, you will be outside of the return window by the time you run into this problem. The company has been kind but doesn't understand that I don't want to provide my address for a return label and I would prefer to print it myself and just use a zip code for the cost estimate. Has been difficult enough to just count it as $65 for 6 months of passable water which isn't bad, but it feels wasteful when I could have bought a year of my previous replacement filters for the on-faucet filter for that price.

Product results in great tasting water and is very easy to install. Make sure to use the teflon tape when screwing in the tank to the cap of the filter as this will help down the line with replacing the filter for easier removal as it can be difficult to get the cap off using the plastic tools provided. Customer service is also very easy to contact and responsive with issues.
