AquasanaOptimH2O Whole House Water Filter System, Reduces 99% Lead & Cysts, 98% PFOA & PFOS, with Pre-Filter & UV Filter

very pleased with the quality

UPDATES AFTER SIX MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP:This filter continues to be awesome, and has all signs of holding up for long term use. It is convenient to refill and to use, easy to maintain, and the quality of the filtration is amazing for an over the counter mini appliance. My one complaint is that the magnetic lid covering the filter itself can loosen up and rattle when the water is dispensing, which makes a louder sound. It isn't bad enough for me to consider it a bad product, but just something to be aware of. Otherwise, fantastic filter and strongly recommended!!I used brita filters for the longest time but they tend to get gross with still water sitting in them, take forever to filter, and also do not necessarily do a great job filtering stuff out.I originally wanted to install an under sink filter, but that wasn't allowed in my rented apartment.This seemed like a good compromise, with a heavy duty aquasana filter and an electric pump. It works great - just fill the tank and hit the button, and clean water flows out on demand at a high rate (very high if you compare it with brita / gravity filters).The water tastes great and is available immediately. So far, we've had no issues with this machine. It does exactly what you would hope it would do, is well-designed, and is effectively without being obtrusive or looking too industrial / unfinished on a countertop.

This product is for 1 year. I per 6 months.

I have terrible water at my house. It doesn’t feel clean and tastes odd. I got this because of PFAS and NSF certification. My town supposedly has remedied PFAS, but extra filtration gives me peace of mind and no installation required.Best independent test: friend was visiting and went to get a glass of water. I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t tell him to use the machine. He poured a glass from the sink faucet and started drinking while walking across the kitchen. One sip and he raced back to the sink to spit it out and dump the glass. He’s used to Vermont water. I told him to use the Aquasana. He said the 2nd glass was fine. Crisis averted and thirst satisfied. Best test and it wasn’t even planned.It is pricey, pours fast enough and holds 64 oz. I’m putting in an RO for the kitchen with a 2nd sink faucet. This unit will go upstairs in my bathroom so I can get water easily and fill my water flosser without carrying gallons of water around. Easy to fill canister. A bit of a luxury as it’s not cheap. Got a good price on Prime Day. Peace of mind.

Good product Great service
