Waterdrop 320-Gallon Ultra Filtration Long-Lasting Water Faucet Filtration System, Faucet Water Filter, Tap Water Filter, 99% Chlorine Removal -Fits Standard Faucets (1 Filter Included)

I was tired of lugging water jugs from the supermarket to the house and paying a $1.00 a gallon so I decided to try one of these. I chose the Waterdrop over others for the following reasons: 1. Uses activated carbon made from coconuts. This type is more porous so it has more surface area to remove contaminants and allows for better water flow. Primarily for chlorine. 2. Filters last for 3 months or approximately 320 gallons. 3. Micron filter for biologics, sand, iron, sulfur, etc. 4. Price Took about 15 minutes to install. Tips: Make sure you choose the right adaptor and washer. The washer should be tight against the sides of the adaptor and seat it fully in the bottom of the adaptor. Use the provided Teflon tape. 3 wraps counter clockwise should suffice. Threads are fine and can be stripped if cross threaded. This will cause a leak and is not correctable. Hand tighten the adaptor. Use the provided tool to for an extra 1/8 to 1/4 turn. The rest is simple. Taste: Drank a glass of water unfiltered, filtered, and store bought. Filtered tasted great. No chlorine smell and fresh tasting. Actually better than store bought. TDS is a poor measure for drinking water. Good tasting water needs to be free of chlorine, iron, sulfur, lead, and biologics ( bacteria). If water doesn't have some salts, minerals, etc. in it the taste is bad. For example, distilled water has a TDS of 0. Not only does distilled water taste flat, it is also not recommended for normal consumption.

It does filter the water as advertised, but it doesn’t provide the same results as a traditional salt-based water softener. I didn't see much of a difference with my skin after using this.

TASTE QUALITY-I Love having fresh water! This is my first actual faucet filter I've purchased and I'm absolutely thrilled to have it in my home! THERE IS NO TASTE OR SMELL TO MY WATER and actually I prefer this water to bottle water. Unfortunately I don't have anyway of measuring the filtration quality so I'm waiting to see if someone else will do it and post results. WATER FLOW/PRESSURE- I've had plenty of Brita pitchers and I was expecting the slow filter/dripping. You'll have none of that with this bad boy. You get a full stream of water on both sides (filtered or non-filtered). And its super easy to turn the filter on and off. So cooking with filtered water is just as easy as cooking without it which is great! INSTALLATION - I absolutely appreciated all the extra parts provided to ensure it'll fit your faucet. I had difficulty getting the mounting nut flushed with my faucet so the Teflon tape provided came in handy. I believe not getting the nut flushed was more my issue and not the design. I did use a wrench to take off the aerator, other than that everything I needed was provided within the box. The installation directions were easy to follow. Just don't forget TO TAKE OFF THE PLASTIC COVERING ON THE ACTUAL FILTER. APPEARANCE- For the price, so far I'm super pleased with the product. It doesn't feel like cheap plastic and it looks super nice. I won't know the durability at this point so I rated high and will change it if something happens to the product within the next month. REMINDERS - They also provide 3 different options of being reminded to change out the filter. I don't know why anyone would rate this filter on the low end. I did look at several other filters before choosing this one.

Something happens to water pressure and it goes drastically low. So annoying and it get either extremely cold or hot. Very disappointing as we couldnt even see any difference yet as it has only been a month and a half!

purchased November 2023. made it almost 3 years back on Amazon to order it again. The little piece that attaches to the part under the faucet just literally chipped off (part that connects to the filter attachment)... bummer! I do love my filter though!
