High-quality carbon filtration provides cleaner water straight from the tap.


During the lifecycle of a single filter, you can save up to 16,000 plastic bottles from being deposited in landfills.
Cleaner Water Straight from the Tap
The Watts CT-1 effectively removes sand, silt, sediment, and rust from your drinking water. It also reduces the taste and odor of chlorine, so you can enjoy water straight from the tap and save yourself the expense of buying bottled water.

Portable and Easy to Install
Installing the Watts CT-1 is a breeze. The unit occupies a small area on the countertop beside your sink, attaching to the faucet by way of a diverter valve. Installing the CT-1 is so easy that most users can filter their tap water in a matter of minutes. The quick installation also means that the CT-1 can be moved from sink to sink with ease. In particular, users of campers or RVs will appreciate the simplicity with which the unit can be moved from one place to another.

Universal Parts for Easy Replacement
The CT-1 accepts all Watts standard 10-inch replacement filter elements. So when it's time for a new filter, you can rest assured that you'll find all the right parts.

The Importance of Drinking Clean Water
Water is critical to proper food digestion, kidney health, brain function, blood health, joint functionality, and more. It's important to make sure that the water you drink is devoid of contaminants. Thankfully, using a Watts water filtration device will ensure consistent quality for all of your drinking and cooking needs. In fact, when you use Watts' high-quality certified water treatment devices and filters, your water will be free of chlorine taste and odors, particles, and many other contaminants that can be detrimental to your health.

*Please refer to the Performance Data Sheet for the complete list of claims for which this system is certified.

An Choice
Not only is the CT-1 filter a healthy choice for you, but it's also a healthy choice for the environment. This filter helps you minimize the harmful environmental consequences of buying bottled water. Incredibly, if a mere ten percent of North America's bottled water intake were reduced by switching to home-filtered water in reusable containers, we could eliminate:

  • 133,000 trucks driving an average of 500 miles--saving nearly 12 million gallons of diesel fuel
  • Over 100 million pounds of greenhouse gasses--equal to taking 1,100 cars off the road annually
  • 213 million pounds of PET--equal to 1.5 million barrels of crude oil or improving the PET recycling rate by 10%

Depending upon which Watts water-filtration product you use, you can prevent up to 16,000 half-liter bottles from being deposited in landfills--all in the time it takes to use and replace a single filter.

The Watts Premier CT-1 Counter Top Water Filtration Device is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

What's in the Box
CT-1 Filter unit, including filter housing with countertop stand, dispensing spout, diverter valve, tubing for installation, and manual.

THE GOOD

Just moved to a new town. Anywhere else around the area, my Britta would clean up the taste of bad water, but not here. Here it's SO chlorinated, I needed something better.

After a lot of reading and research I was down to the Filtrete Under-the-counter unit and this unit. The Filtrete pro sounded like it had a strong flow and filtered down to .5, but after looking at it closer, it would be just my luck to have a connector pop out and cause water damage without me around. So, I decided on this.

I had it connected in under 5 minutes. I just needed a pair of pliers to loosen the faucet part which needed to be removed. The unit came with a needed adapter which worked perfect. I turned it on and after letting it run for a few minutes, I tried the water. AWESOME!!! Clorine smell and taste was GONE!

This thing works, and works well and I don't have to worry about broken lines under the sink. The water flow remains good through the unit as well. I can also find many options in replacement filters because of its standard size. I love the quality and functionality of this unit.

THE BAD.

The problem was, upon closer inspection, there was a small bead of water coming from the units water output. At the bottom of the metal output piece (Which you can just pull out) there are 2 small, round O-rings, and one was pertruding. It was cracked, so only one O-ring was ok, and when I moved the water output, it beaded up.

I called the "Manufacturer", which sounds like it isn't REALLY the manufacture, but a distributor, and was told they don't have any parts, they get the unit assembled. The parts they DO carry they said, are all given to Amazon. SO.... they told me I should pack it back up, and send it back to Amazon.

What?!? I am suppose to ship the whole unit back, at MY expense, and have another unit sent, when a 5 cent part could be mailed out to me for the cost of a stamp. RIDICULOUS!!! Not too bright, or environmentally friendly. This is the problem with buying some things over the internet, from a place without a local retail outlet, but to save, we gamble...

Now I either ship it back, hunt online or drive to local hardware stores and look for something that COULD work as a replacement. Grrrrr.....

I finally went to Home Depot and found that they carried a package of #47 O-rings for a couple bucks that fit fine. All better now.

THE UGLY

This Item is Ugly as sin. It reminds me of my pool filter. I am going to make or find something to cover it.

OVERALL

For this price, it's an AWESOME deal!!!

Good quality at a good price December 28, 2008

This unit is just what one would expect. There's nothing fancy here, just a good solid unit. Installation was easy. The unit came with a couple adapters so that it should fit most faucets. No tools were required to hook it up. The diverter valve is a little nicer than I've seen on some units.

The only downside is a trait which is shared with all counter-top filters and that is that it takes countertop space and can be knocked over if one is careless.

For the price and Amazon free shipping, I'd be hard-presed to find a better unit.

This water filter is nice and VERY Easy to Install!! as for the hard to open I bought the
Watts wr-100 water filter wrench here on Amazon for 7.54 it opens ver easy with the correct tool.
The water taste very good and Clean!! I bought this for my son who lives in L.A. for $29.00
you can not beat the price and the cost of replacement filter at $10.00 what a deal!!!
I paid over $1.200.00 for the AQ-500 water ionzer. and after a year it clogged up on me.
it is under warranty but for the price!! the AQ water does taste better
but not by much for the price. as for the Health benifits of ionzed water Have yet to see it!
If I had to do it over again I would save the 1,150.00 and just buy this unit!!.
I still might buy one as a back-up for my own house!!
