Product Description

Product Description
In the old days, we would have called this the "Cadillac" of in-line water filters. Seriously... it's got everything. Tool-free do-it-yourself installation, a built-in valve that automatically shuts the water off while you're changing the filter, a replacement filter you can change with a simple quarter-turn, and a long list of contaminants.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay for taste, May 2, 2009

By	Andrew M. Somers "Civil Libertarian" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is really nothing more than a taste filter - it does a pretty good job of making los Angeles water taste good - I use this to run to the water and ice maker in my fridge.

However, doing an actual water test, it does not remove a lot of the dissolved solids and minerals.

The overall system is fairly well made - it is easy to change filters and you do not have to turn of the water to do so as the filter head features an auto shut off when the filter is removed.

However, the attachment to the wall is a single screw, and the connectors for the water lines are not as robust as i might like (friction fit essentially - but then it IS all plastic and not brass.) this is probably better to use with plastic water line, as the flexibility of the plastic line should reduce stress at the fitting. I of course am using copper line, and thus my concern over the robustness of the fittings.
