AO Smith Under Sink Water Filter System - Reduces PFAS Lead Chlorine in Drinking Water - Under Counter

These filters are great! I just installed my second one. There was nothing wrong with the first one, bit the plumbing has to be replaced after 5 years. Mine was pushing 6 years and I didn't want to risk broken lines. Installing it is really easy and takes about an hour depending on space and if you have basic plumbing skills. Filter replacement takes 5 minutes. Read more

After more than twenty years of having 5 gallon bottles of spring water delivered, the water started to have a strange taste/odor, so I canceled my delivery service and started looking for alternatives and the New York Times Wirecutter review recommended this one for removal of chlorine, plastics, and metals at a low price. Installation was straightforward (although I wish the lettered parts were included in the numbered diagram) and immediately after the recommended 10 minute flush out period my tap water, which is not horrible but has a chlorine taste, tasted great. I plan to fill a 3 gallon glass water cooler bottle with this filtered water to use with my existing cooler so I always have cold and hot water available as usual. My yearly cost for drinking water will be reduced by about 70% once I factor in the cost of replacing the filters every six months. Highly recommend! Read more

I have just finished installing my unit this morning and cannot yet attest to its longevity, but I can say it looks nice and was relatively simple to install. IMPORTANTLY for anyone considering this product but concerned about reviews mentioning leaks upon installation, I want to suggest everyone to spend a few more dollars on some plumber’s thread tape. This is a thin plastic, not truly a tape as it has no adhesive, but will attach to itself. You wrap it around the threading 2-3 times at each connection point and this should prevent any leaks. When I first installed the unit, I had leaks from the brass t-connector as well as the connection from the white pipe to the faucet, but once I added this tape there were no more leaks. Save yourself a headache and just get the plumbers tape and use it from the start. I bought this tape years ago to replace my shower valves and it has proven useful numerous times. Bought mine from Home Depot. Another note: my product came with only one white tube, though the instructions listed two. Mine was long enough to simply cut in half to use for both ends of the filter. Just be sure to use a sharp knife, scissors or snips to cut and avoid over-crimping the tube. I used the cut ends for inserting into the filter and it works just fine. Read more

Good product, no bad taste on water Read more

Installed and the water tastes great. I threw away the battery pack that comes with it you do not need that. Not sure why it needs to be there. It's useless Read more
