Title: Tastes great
Review: So after using this for a few weeks I finally wanted to review sooo... We really like it!! For the past 4 years we have been using a 27 cup Brita filter that we would put in the fridge, have to haul in and out of the fridge to fill. This change is awesome, you go to the sink and have perfect filtered water that tastes so good.We installed it and the hardest part was securing the faucet onto the sink, but only because we had to reach around the underneath of the sink. You basically do that, attach the actual filter component to the wall under the sink, hook up the hoses, and then install the filter cartridges. Very easy!The water flow rate is great too, just as quick as if you were to get it from your fridge. The biggest thing for us was the taste of the water since we have city water, and it taste so good even after sitting out in a cup all day and night. I found that the brita water would go stale and taste bad after sitting out at night. The aquasana water doesn't which I love since I like to keep water on my nightstand to drink when I wake up.

Title: I love my water now!
Review: Sept 26, 2024This is my 2nd edit of my original review. I must be fair to Aquasana and report that it was OUR ERROR that water stopped flowing from my Aquasana unit. Though we managed to replace the cartridges, we FAILED to line them up perfectly with those little plugs (because the tops spin around). THAT'S why water wasn't flowing!We finally took the unit off the bracket and looked at it upside-down and went, "OHHHH!" NOW we can see what we're supposed to do. So now everything is working great again and I'm once again drinking fresh, delicious water.It makes me wonder now if my niece had dumped her Aquasana (previous post) in haste because she believed it no longer worked, but perhaps she hadn't properly seated the cartridges. We'll never know now.I'm giving my Aquasana 5 stars again!****************************I first wrote my original review on August 15, 2024, after being in love with my Aquasana unit for 3 years.NOW, TODAY â no water will come out!!My niece â the one mentioned in my original review â came over to change cartridges that I had just purchased, and she did some troubleshooting. She can't figure it out. By the way, she also just recently dumped her Aquasana unit because HERS stopped working! What's with these things? Is 3 years all you get out of them? I'm terribly disappointed but really I'm just downright angry! Now I DO know why they're only coming in at 3.8 stars.****************************August 15, 2024I've had my Aquasana unit working for me now for 3 years. I've replaced the cartridges just once so far.I don't know why reviews come in at only 3.8 for this thing. I love mine and give it 5 stars! I would never drink tap water and man I hated buying water. $$$!My niece lives around the corner from me and every couple of weeks she would fill gallon jugs for me using HER Aquasana. I finally bought my own unit and I'm so glad I did. This purified water keeps my Keurig from malfunctioning as I only put Aquasana water in it. My first Keurig took a dump in less than a year because I used tap water in it. So I got a new one and put only Crystal Geyser water in it until my niece started refilling my jugs. I've had this Keurig now for 8 years (same exact model as the first one but I removed that little filter thing) and it's still working great cuz I've never used tap water in it. Heavy metals and deposits are probably why Keurigs are always breaking down.Anyhoo, I drink a lot more water now and it's great having good tasting water at my fingertips anytime I want. No more buying water and having plastic bottles and jugs everywhere! Doesn't matter how much replacement cartridges are because it's still cheaper than constantly buying water. Anyone sitting on the fence about this should reconsider because this makes very good drinking water!

Title: Beware - bad product / even worse customer service
Review: I bought this Aquasana water filter system for my kitchen sink. For some reason, I was sent (and charged for) 3 units. Obviously, I contacted Amazon and made arrangements to return two units for refund.In the meantime, I hired a plumber to install the unit. The plumber is a licensed, insured and an experienced plumber. He had the worst time installing the filters. Installing the unit was very basic - no problem there. However when he put in the filters they leaked. Because I had two extra units. He tried those filter (I was willing to take the hit). After trying 5 different filters (on a 3 filter unit) he was finally able to get it to stop leaking.Fast forward 7 monthsâ¦I knew I had to change the filters every 6 months. As luck would have it, I had a plumber out to fix an unrelated issue and I asked âcan you change these filters for me as long as your hereâ. This was not the same plumber as did the install. I had purchased new filters last month and had them ready for install. This plumber also had the same issue as the first plumberâ¦the new filters leaked. He couldnât tell what the issue really was, because once the filters are in the housing, you canât see them. He said they went in easy, and shouldnât be leaking. Finally out of frustration, I said just disconnect it and Iâd contact Aquasana since itâs still under warranty.After speaking with Julie at Aquasana tech support, I was told that she could not refund my money, only send replacement partsâ¦which is impossible since I (nor the plumber) can tell whatâs leaking. I was asked to take a video of the leak and email it to them??? What? I told them no, thatâs ridiculous. Iâd have to call the plumber back out to hook it up again, to take a video of dripping water? Riiiight!Julie at Aquasana said I needed to contact Amazon, since thatâs where I bought the unit. I told her it was at the Aquasana Store on Amazon. She said she has no authority for returns, even under warranty and to go thru Amazon. The funny thing is, Amazon doesnât give me an option to return this unitâ¦it does refer me to the toll free number to Aquasana (the same number where I spoke with Julie). Basically the round around.So Iâm now out my money. I donât have a water filter and I still get to hire a plumber to remove the unit (he did disconnect it from the water, but itâs still under my sink, and the small faucet for the filter has to be removed and I need to put in a soap dispenser or something to fill that hole in the counter top.Thanks Aquasana for standing by your product, which has been problematic from the start, thanks for helping us out when finances are tight. By not offering a full refund to a defective product and not giving a second thought to me paying a plumber AGAIN to come out to remove there defective machine.Beware buying from Aquasana. The product I have is defective, still under manufacturer warranty and they will not refund me. Thatâs just wrong.

Review: Todo funcionó correcto hasta el momento que tuve que cambiar filtros por primera vez. Después del simple cambio tuve una fuga grande y no hay forma de arreglar mas que con reemplazo de parte. Pero al contactar a soporte de Aquasana (que tardan hasta 4 dias en responder) la respuesta final es que no envian fuera de EUA. Si no dan soporte fuera de ese paÃs, ¿para que lo venden fuera de EUA?

Review: There was no water flow upon installed. After calling the manufacturer, it turned out that the black filter is a little short. Return and replacement process with Amazon was swift. Now it runs as normal.

Review: I put this in our RV kitchen sink. No more fears of drinking tap water on the road! It is VERY slow flow rate, which is kind of perfect for the camping feel anyways, right? I would definitely use the "+" version if I were putting this in the house. But it is perfect for an RV.Beware -- we froze our first one and cracked the housing. I recommend you remove the entire filter unit, not just the canisters, for the winter rather than attempt to get all the water out.Check out their filter subscription offer on their web page. Cheaper and super convenient. You can schedule the frequency and timing of replacement filter deliveries -- for us that means March once per year!
