The state-of-the-art microbiological filter lets you enjoy 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 WP-2 has been independently tested and certified to remove disease-causing microorganisms from drinking water, including bacteria, viruses, and protozoan cysts. This filter has also been tested and certified by NSF International to reduce chlorine taste and odor from water. This means you'll get great tasting drinking water that is safer for you to drink.

Easy to Install
Installing the Watts WP-2 is a breeze. The unit occupies a small area underneath the countertop, and thanks to the patented Watts Adapt-A-Valve, the unit can be easily installed to the angle stop under the sink. The Watts long reach faucet fits the auxillary hole that comes standard on most kitchen sinks.

Additionally, users of campers or RVs will appreciate the simplicity with which the unit can be moved from one place to another. And since water regulations are different for many parks and campsites, this filter will give you peace of mind and comfort while you're on the road.

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.

Not only is the WP-2 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 WP-2 BVC Water Purification Device is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice unit., April 2, 2009

This is a very nice unit, water tastes very good and once the filter clears (10gallons+ needs to run thru for that) it also gets a very respectable water output. The faucet is nothing to be ashamed of as well, unlike other/cheaper units.

The installation instructions, unfortunately, are not very accurate as they pertain to a different type of faucet. It wasn't problem here but it might be an issues to some people. Make sure to tighten adapter included on the valve as it is lose to allow removal if you have different pipe size than normal.

You won't need teflon tape on contrary to as indicated in other posts. All connections are compression fittings or have a nice rubber gaskets to eliminate need for teflon which might actually prevent you from screwing the caps tight enough for gasket to work properly.

Replacement filters. I ordered from different site since pricing on amazon is, unfortunately, somewhat high. I ordered from cfsco.net/waprrefipafo.html for much less.

I recommend this filter.

Considering the total cost of the unit and the maintenance cost of filter replacement, this purchase was a great value. Plus, when one of the parts was damaged I called customer support at Watts, I was assisted right away, and a replacement part was shipped the day I made the call. These days, thats what I call A++ customer service.

You need to realize that the only difference between Watts WP2BVC and Watts LCV (500313) selling on Amazon, is the filter cartridge which fits both of them. You can make Watts WP2BVC yourself by replacing the original VOC filter of 500313 (1 micron) with Microbiological 2-pk one (0.5 micron) and save a lot of money (about 50% if you wait for 6 months till it is time to replace filter).
The original Watts WP2BVC they sell on their web site has a designer faucet with a battery indicator, not the cheap air gap one included here. The included manual is for the designer faucet, so people are having hard time installing the unit.
On a personal note, the included hoses are junk and the intake one (green) failed on me after a month of use flooding our kitchen. They are easily replaceable with fortified ice maker hoses you can get at Lowe's or HD.
Watts makes ice maker houses as well (Lowe's carries hundreds of their parts so I know), that's why it is hard to understand why they include cheapest plastic tubes and connectors with the unit. They have everything they need to create a solid, reliable system but don't care. The manual hasn't being updated for years as well.
