Unit does not come with wrench to open unit in order to change filter. Package is generic brown box with 1 pg Watts Premier instruction sheet inside. The instructions indicated that a wrench may be required to open the housing (to change the filter). Believe me, a wrench will be needed. If unit performs as advertised, i won’t need to worry about the wrench for 6-months, but I’m still disappointed that a basic tool which i will need down the road was not included in this purchase.

I picked this product because as a renter I wanted an easy to install filter that I can take with me when I move. This is much better than the type you attach to the faucet itself as it is larger and will filter more water before needing to change the filter inside. I like that ANY 10 inch replacement filter may be used when it’s time to change it.

Water taste good with the whole house filter it came with, but when the time comes I’ll probably buy a better replacement filter that will remove more of the things you can’t see or smell.

Good as the under the sink type filters, but installs in seconds. Definitely a step up from Pure!

Our well has iron in it which isn’t removed completely by our reverse osmosis system. Water has a funny taste so we were still buying water for coffee, etc. Well, not anymore! This unit does the trick…and so easy to install. In less than 90 seconds we had great tasting water at our fingertips. Worth every penny………..

I received this item and connected to faucet….water is coming out all around connection…not where it is suppose to come out!!!!! I called the company to see what to do, the woman I spoke with was trying to help me but when she realized this was an item from Amazon.com she couldn’t help me!! She transferred me to someone else, I just got a voicemail….I left a long detailed message but have yet to hear back from anyone, this was 5 days ago! I will try again next week to see if I can get this resolved before returning this item. Hopefully I will have better info next week and will write another review.

Tried several more times to call Watts (they never returned my call). Each time I called I would get put on hold for 15-20 minutes and was never able to talk to anyone about problem with unit..so I have returned item. Really was hoping to resolve this, I live in the country and on well water….guess I will continue to purchase bottled water!

:( ……..

The water certainly tastes better than tap. It’s no ten-stage filter, but I’m not going to shell out the $130 for one of those. If I could, I probably would, but this one makes the water drinkable.

Also, the water diversion system is a little less than optimal, but it seems they all are.
