For more than 6 years I am happy that I found this system from a reputable brand and did not try to save a bit for cheaper alternatives. Here are my, time tested observations: 1. Installation Very easy to fit. It's fully DIY'able as long as you're able to connect it to the water supply. If you can't - don't worry, as in some cases there might be more complicated connections, where you need additional fittings like in my case, etc. In general - don't worry, no offence by no means as some people never did anything DIY, worry of flooding stuff, don't have tools, etc. it's completely fine. I am just saying that it can be done relatively easily and does not necessarily require a plumber :). But if you try it yourself, you'd be surprised how much you can do, especially with all youtube at your hands - become proud, stop being afraid of your handyman dreams and eventually start a full DIY renovation of your house haha! Joke with real background!) 2. Solid Quality. I've seen and serviced filters before, including at my friends and parents house and this one looks very well made when it comes to pipes, plastic housings, rubber rings, etc. Well, 6+ years so far is not a bad run, isn't it? The only weak point in my case is the filtered water faucet - it's leaking for a while inside the sink, but in fairness it saw so much pulling and twisting by my kids that I don't blame it. 3. Water quality & Taste Water quality was tested several times in the beginning and after filter changes and it is brilliant. Both pH wise and TDS (remember that it's mineralized back so account for it). I am going to tell you a super basic and even silly observation but in 6+ years my kettle was never washed and it looks cleaner and shinier inside than when it was new. No joke. And why I said it's silly, because RO systems filter much more than sediments, but micro stuff like bacteria and some viruses, metals, pfas and much more. Taste - no taste, just brilliantly clean and "tasty" water, hard to describe but in my family's head it's like "what ideal water taste should be". 4. Servicing If you did not install it yourself, trust me servicing (changing the filters) is even easier. You stop the water flow in filter and tank, unscrew using provided key, filter out + filter in, close well and test in the end to make sure no leaks. You can follow youtube too. It is really not hard at all. Filters are always for sale and you can get good deals if you buy like a 1+ years supply. In my experience, at least with Dublin water quality, which is not bad - even first sediment filters live much longer than recommended and when I replace them, they are just slightly coloured. But this depends on the water quality in your area of course. To finish with, a RO system brings amazing value for your money and I highly recommend to get one for long term health benefits, as no other filtration systems clean the water to this level of purity. Drinking and cooking becomes healthier and so do you. This particular one is used by our family every day and I can responsibly recommend it. Hope it helps even a bit & stay well and healthy! Cheers
