RTW5AK Reverse Osmosis Alkaline Water Filter System, pH+ Alkaline Remineralization Under Sink RO Water Filter System, 6 Stage Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration Plus Extra 3 Filters, 50 GPD

Installed this RO water filter system in my garage to use for beer brewing. My house is plumbed with a water softener which adds too much sodium to my water. This system filters out solids to a near zero, which is outstanding. My TDS meter read 438 before filtering, and after filtering i have 33ppm solids. Super easy to install, I've added additional water line to mine since I'm not using it in the traditional under sink setup. I added a 14 gallon secondary tank as well. With a full tank, the pressure is about 23PSI out of the faucet. Seems well built and should last years, I expect to change filters about every 2 years because I don't use a lot of water. The push to fit connections are simple and do not leak. The RO system fills the included tank in about 2 hours, which is as described. I like this system enough that I bought a second one to install at work.

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.

After 1.5 year of operation and 3 pres-filter change this thing has delivered very soft water very consistently.The installation was a snap and it fitted very well thanks to it's smaller size behind the trash can under the sink. The thank is a little bit smaller than competing model but as a result it take less space to install. In our case we could install the thank on an adjacent space to the sink in a large unused space under the kitchen counter that could have fitted a much larger thank. It turn out though that this thank is more than adequate for our need so we don't regret the smaller thank. Since the space behind the trash case was not in use this system did not reduce at all the storage capacity of the under the sink cabinet. The water delivered by this system is extremely soft and we use it for drinking, cooking, coffee making and electric kettle. after a year and an half of use there is zero scale build up in not of our kitchen appliance. Also the level of chloride in the water is not detectable with our measuring equipment while in comparison a small amount of chloride was detectable in the Nestle bottled water! So not only the quality of the water is better than bottle water but it is so much shipper than this system more than paid for himself in less than a year. Finally a note about the warranty and customer service. After a year and half the system developed a problem. He started to make a buzzing noise when the system was pressurized. So we Emailed the customer service to report the problem and the sent immediately without further inquiry a valve replacement. But after further testing it appear that the system was not defective. What's happen is that dirt from the sink found it's way to the drain tube plugin it up and causing the malfunction. I managed to clean the dirt and the system started to work again normally and without noise. This is this incident that induced me to write a review, considering the great quality of the customer service and the performance of the product. . I hope that this information is useful.
