RTW5 Under Sink 5 Stage Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filtration System with Extra Pre-Filter Set

So Let me start off by saying I have been drinking RO water all my life growing up... So when I moved to this country I spent the first few years using Brita's and ZeroWater's pitcher filters but they were not up to the mark for me (I have sensitivity to something in Tap Water that these pitcher filters just would not help with).So I finally decided to give into an RO. This RO was easy to install !! No Leaks (and this was my first time ever doing plumbing related DIY, Although you have to follow instructions to the T).I didn't install the faucet that came bundled because I didn't want to drill a hole in the kitchen sink so I bought a new 3-way faucet for my kitchen which comes with a RO connection in-built.The RO works good. The taste seemed to get better over time... I did purchase and install the extra Alkaline Mineral Cartridge to this RO (The one in the Orange/Red in the picture) to make the water less acidic which RO's tend to do by stripping out the minerals.All in all a satisfactory purchase and the Support(My conversation over Email with NICK) was pretty quick to answer any questions/rectify any issues if you find them.

Wow Unbelievable. after 4 years - update. 2024. I called and talked with Nick again who provided the VERY BEST customer service I have ever gotten in my entire life. He answered the phone and within minutes my small install problem was solved and he is sending the part I needed at no charge.If you are looking for the best RO system, at the best price, you do not need to look any further. I did extensive research and found the Puredrop RO system to be the best overall. It has the best price, wonderful support, and is a very well-made quality system.ISPRING VS PUREDROPPuredrop is the same company that makes ISpring, which is also a very nice RO system. I was not sure if I should buy the Puredrop RO system compared the ISpring RO system, so I called support and asked the difference. I spoke with both Nick and Don who provided all the answers to my questions so that I could make an educated decision.ISpring RO t is more money, but you get more for your money: Larger Tank, a Clear 1st Stage tank, and a better faucet. In my case, it is just me and my wife, and I do not need a larger tank and I have a faucet from owning other RO systems and I would only be giving up the clear tank with the Puredrop System.CLEAR 1st STAGE TANKIf you change your filters on time, there really is no reason to see inside the first stage. If you are forgetful, it may be a good idea to get the Ispring system with the clear first stage tank.FILTERS AND MEMBRANEI had other RO systems in the past, and the biggest issue I have found was the cost to replace the filters-especially the membrane, which can be as high as $40 for some name brands—especially if you have to have the check value built into the membrane. The Puredrop RO has the check valve as a separate component in the system, which eliminates having to buy a membrane one with a built-in check valve. PLUS, I love it that PureDrop provides an extra set of filters for the next time the filters need to be changed.After researching the filters, I found that I can buy generic filters for a lot less and if I wanted the Puredrop brand, it was not that much more.INSTALLATION AND SMALLER TANKThe Puredrop RO system, which was easy to install with color coded water lines. So far everything is working fine and I really like the small compact tank, which gives me a lot more room for storage under the sink. There is no reason that I can see to have the larger tank for a family of two.CONCLUSIONThe Puredrop has been installed for a week when I wrote this review. I suspect that will not have any issues, but even if I do, I know that I can always call support: Nick or Don, and they will for sure take care of any issues I have for years to come.

I have personally bought two of these. The first one I got my mom because she is on heavy, immunosuppressants and drink lots of bottled water. It was hard for her to have to carry the cases of water all the time. This was really easy to install. We have tested the water with a particle meter and it Does so well with filtering the water customer service is amazing. I haven’t had to use them but the owner reached out both times I purchased to see if we needed any help and if the unit was ok. I loved my moms so much that I bought myself one I have mine ran to my icemaker on my fridge also , my ice cubes are clear it comes with additional filters fits well under the kitchen sink with room to spare. I have bought expensive filters for my fridge and tested the water and most of the time the particle count in my filtered refrigerator. Water was higher than the particle count right out of the faucet that really made me feel uneasy that is why I decided on this product and I don’t regret it.

We were upgrading a 10 year old system. Good Value and fairly easy to install. Start to finish was 1.5 hours not rushing. Be advised that if you want to hook up to an icemaker for your fridge/freezer an additional kit will be required. Registered the warranty online with Nick, very easily.

We bought this during the latest prime day sale and we are happy with it. The installation went fine, though I did end up watching a couple videos along with using the manual to be sure I had things right. There were no leaks on startup despite there being at least 20 connections that could have a water leak. Most of those already come connected by the factory and you don't have to do them but they are still a possible leak source. I read a comment by a plumber that recommended putting something under the tank as the materials making up its valve are more likely to leak than others. This particular tank is smaller than most under sink systems so is better if it's tight under there. If you have a larger household you may want a bigger tank but I honestly think it's sufficient for most families and it is always refilling when water is depleted.My countertop had a hole already that was occupied by a soap dispenser, so I repurposed it for the included filtered water faucet and we fill a nice-looking dish soap dispenser that sits next to the sink now instead. Drilling the hole in the PVC pipe was much easier than I feared. Make sure it is done above the trap and the hole is the correct diameter.I purchased a digital total dissolved solids (TDS) device and the filtered water has been measuring 2 and 3 TDS, which is very good. The water tastes good to me despite there being no minerals and feels smooth in the mouth. It's nice knowing the water is pretty much as clean and pure as it possibly can be for us and our pets. The extra 3 filters included pushes out the filter buying time to 1 year.Reccomended.
