RO MIGHTY MITE SYSTEM 50GPD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am using this for kitchen use at my kitchen sink even though it's not designed for that. I just had to get a tank and faucet and a few fittings for that and it works great. If you don't have that stuff you might be better off buying 1 that already has that stuff included.

Aquasana AQ-4500 Complete Under Counter Water Filter System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)PROS: 1. The water tastes great. 2. The stem threads into the base, but is double gasketed with O rings. This means that you don't have to tighten it down, and you can rotate it to any position and it won't leak from the base of the stem, as long as you don't unscrew it all the way. It also means you can point the handle in any direction you like, not just the one shown in the picture. 3. The faucet handle can be held down or flipped up and released to pour water. You don't have to hold it if you flip it up. 4. Installation was as easy as plumbing can be. If the supplied T fitting fits what you have under your sink, then you will be fine. If it does not fit, and you do not know what to do to make it fit, CALL A PLUMBER. This is what they do, and it won't cost you much, because it's an easy job.
CONS: The water keeps running after you shut it off. This is not a malfunction, it is a design flaw. The instructions even make reference to it. Considering the cost of this item, I feel this is a major drawback. I am not impressed. This bothers me every time I use it.
NEUTRAL: 1. Water does not come out cold. It sits in the filters at room temperature, so you'd have to run it for a LONG time before it would be the same temp as the water coming out of your cold water tap. It must be refrigerated if you want it cold. This is fine. Just fill a pitcher, not a glass. 2. Water runs very slow. Filling a pitcher, or a coffee pot takes a while. 3. The reason the filter faucet runs on is because the valve in the handle turns water on and off to the inlet of the filter, not to the faucet itself. I can only assume this is done so that the filtration system itself does not need to handle any real pressure. This would make it less expensive to manufacture, but like i indicated above it also means that the water runs for 5-10 seconds after you shut it off, as water pressure bleeds off, and residual water siphons out.
HOMEOWNER TIP: If you do call a plumber to install your water filter, whether it's this one or not, ask him to replace your shut off valves with 1/4 turn "ball valves" if they are not ball valves already. He'll explain why it's a good idea, and why this is a good time to do it. He'll also think you're an educated homeowner, which is in your favor.

3M Filtrete 3US-PS01 Under-Sink Professional Water Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In Vegas our water is super-chlorinated. Forcing us to use a brita for cooking and coffee. I investigated other inline filters, but most of them required a separate tap installed -- since we have a granite countertops, this seemed like an extreme fix. finally, here is a filter that simply sits in your cold water line -- giving you filtered water to your existing cold water tap. It works great -- the chlorine taste and smell is gone. It does slow down the cold water flow minimally. It is no big deal, and hardly noticeable. Installation was a snap. I would absolutely recommend it.

Culligan US-600A 3/8-Inch Undersink Drinking Water Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Tired of spending your hard earned money on Brita Filter 5-packs? For 5 to 10 more dollars, you can get an under sink unit by Culligan that is easy to install, comes with a 3-month filter in the package (level 1 filter), and is easy to upgrade to more advanced filtration (up to level 4).
Summary: I am thoroughly impressed with this unit. I will update the review as time goes by if it breaks, or anything leaks, but it is well built and looks solid, and delivers water that I would say tastes better than Brita water.
I live in Upstate New York, where the water quality is OK, but there is often a lot of chlorine in the water. My main concern was reducing the chlorine taste, and this unit certainly does deliver.
I am breaking my review down into 5 parts, with each part getting 1 star weighting: 0 means poor, 1/2 means OK, and 1 means excellent
Ease of Installation: 1 star
I have been known to be a clutz around the house but I was able to do it without having any leaks or having to install any extra fittings. Everything is snug and tight out of the box. The fittings that come with the filter have a plastic inset that you can remove to fit directly on 3/8" OD pipe or feed line. They are not gimpy fittings, despite what you might think of a press together fitting. All of the fittings were snug and secure upon install. Water pressure tends to hold them together even more tightly when the system is pressurized.
Installation tip: (This applies if you have 3/8"OD plastic feed line going to your faucet) Instead of cutting the feed line you already have installed, buy a $3 feed line at a hardware store and cut it in half using tin snips or a sharp knife. Then you can turn the water off, remove the old feed line, and install the new feed line connected to the Culligan. This way, if something goes wrong, you can connect the old feed line back up and be back with running water in only 10 minutes or so.
The entire install takes only 30-45 minutes and if you have the right tools, you may not even need a trip to the hardware store.
Don't forget the silicone (waterproof) grease on the o-rings!
Water Flow: 1 star
I admit I was surprised by the voracity of the water flow. I haven't measured it in GPM, but it is nearly the same rate as when there was no filter installed.
Taste: 1 star
Water tastes fresh and clean and there is no aftertaste.
Ease of Use: 1 star
Turn on the tap, it works. No waiting for a pitcher to filter or worrying about if you'll have enough water to boil pasta without waiting 10 minutes, etc.
Upgradability: 1 star
You can buy a level 4 filter (the D40), which reduces lead and other nasties in the water, for about the same price as you pay for this unit, and it lasts for 6 months. Or, there is the Level 3 filter (the D30), which does almost as much as the D40, lasts for a year, and costs half as much. In terms of cost, it is really hard to beat the value of the D30.
Included Filter: 0.5 stars
If you want a higher degree of filtration you can always buy a level 2, 3, or 4 filter separately. However, the Level 1 filter makes your water taste nice, and for the price of the filter unit, is a nice addition. Some stores advertise units that do not include a filter, but not this particular seller.
The correct filter to buy for this unit is the D10, D20, D30, or the D40.
I am rounding up my 4.5 star review to 5 stars on Amazon, giving an extra 0.5 stars for the good feeling I got after installing the filter (and because you can only do 4 or 5 stars, not 4.5)!

HM Digital Waterproof pH Meter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using this unit for approx. a month now and so far I am impressed with this unit. Although I purchased this meter for my own personal use, I also work in a professional lab during the day. I compaired this units results with our $1500 meter in the lab and found that this unit is very close in accuracy. The statements about this unit being hard to calibrate are incorect. Having experience with several kinds of pro ph meters I can say with authority that this unit is as easy as it gets to calibrate. I would guess that the other folks here who had trouble probably had defective units. The calibration process is so simple that a person would be hard pressed to screw it up unless you didn't read the manual at all. One other nice feature of this unit is the two decimal point readout. The other units in this price range that are for sale here only have one decimal point display. example-- 7.XX vs. 7.X This feature will be very helpful to anyone who is considering tight control of the solution you are working with. Remember, for every full point that your ph goes up or down your solution is 10 times more acidic or alkaline. example-- 7 vs. 8 ph. Therefore, with a unit that only reads out to one decimal place, for each number movement your solution is twice as acidic or alkaline example--7.1 vs. 7.2 ph and that isn't even taking into account the margin of inaccuracy in these consumer grade units. The only weakness I have found in this unit is that it has auto shut off and likes to turn itself off while I'm in the middle of a reading. The truth is that it is more of a plus than a minus. Considering that if you forget to turn this thing off, the next time you attempt to use it the batteries will be dead and that would be a much bigger pain in the butt than having to hit the power button once in a while, to say nothing of having to buy a new probe tip prematurely because all probe tips have a useful life based on time of use among other things. The other units in this range may be cheaper but the quality and feature designed into this unit make it worth the extra money.
