    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersDies ist mittlerweile meine 4. Umkehrosmoseanlage die ich in den letzten 12 Jahren gekauft und selbst montiert habe. Von der Verarbeitung und dem Preis her einfach Spitze. Bis auf Beulen am Hinterkopf hat die Montage immer gut geklappt. Sicher auch bei dieser. Wenn da dieser grauenhafte Anschlu an das Eckventil nicht wre. Erst mal kommt er in 1/2″, Standard am Eckventil ist aber 3/8″. Das wurde ja hier schon mehrfach beschrieben. Ich war also schlau und habe mir gleich Adapter gekauft. Stutzen-Nippel-Reduzierer-Dingsbums Dinger! Waren auch die richtigen. Lassen sich aber leider nicht richtig dicht montieren. Das Hauptproblem? Der mitgelieferte Anschlu in 1/2″ hat leider einen verschweiten 1/4″ Anschlu fr an die Umkehrosmose Anlage. Da mein Eckventil aber sehr kompakt und dadurch sehr nah an der Wand ist, lsst es sich nicht drehen, da es gegen die Wand stt. Ich habe eine Stunde lang versucht es mit tonnenweise Teflonband (welches brigens auch nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten ist), dicht zu bekommen. Keine Chance. Irgendwas tropft immer. Entweder die Reduzierstcke aus dem Baumarkt oder der Anschluss selber.
    Ich habe mir jetzt neben den 6,- fr die Reduzierer noch fr 15,- einen Anschlu in 3/8″ bestellen mssen, welcher wahrscheinlich nicht mehr vor Weihnachten kommt. Normalerweise ist das Standard, war bisher bei allen meinen UO-Anlagen dabei. Hier leider nicht, schade. Daher leider keine 5 Sterne, weil am falschen Ende gespart wurde.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersIch habe bereits viel Erfahrungen mit Umkehr-Osmose-Filteranlagen im alten Haushalt sammeln knnen und war nun auf der Suche nach einer gnstigen Lsung im neuen Haushalt.

    Da das schon eine kleine Wissenschaft fr sich sein kann, schreib ich hier gerne mal ausfhrlich meine Erfahrung fr alle, die hier noch Neuland begehen.

    Da wir im alten Haushalt fr eine vergleichbare Filterung (ebenfalls 5-Stufen-Filterung) nahezu das zehnfache(!) gezahlt haben, war ich natrlich sehr skeptisch, was man hier fr sein Geld bekommt. Bei dem Preis dachte ich, kann man zumindest nicht viel falsch machen und es wenigstens ausprobieren.

    Als ich die Anlage bekam und einbaute, wurde mir auch schnell klar, warum es viele Firmen gibt, die sich darauf spezialisiert haben und wirklich das zehn- bis zwanzigfache verlangen:
    Dort wird man meistens an die Hand genommen und bekommt einen Rund-um-sorglos-Service mit Filter-Abo und allen mglichen Anleitungen und Support fr Installation und Wartung, da ist der Preisaufschlag in der Gre vielleicht nicht immer gerechtfertigt aber zumindest nachvollziehbar.
    Das ist hier nicht der Fall, allerdings auch nicht zwingend ntig, wenn man wei, was man tun muss.

    Bei dieser Anlage hier bekommt man zumindest eine ausfhrliche Installationsanleitung, wo genau gezeigt wird, was wohin kommt und man kann nicht wirklich viel falsch machen. Der Leitungsschlauch wird an einem Stck geliefert und muss dann entsprechend der Einzelverbindung zurecht schneiden. Da er aber lang genug ist, kann man sich hier auch mal versehentlich verschnibbeln und hat immer noch genug Reststrecke.
    Allerdings gibt es auch die ein oder andere Hrde, von der in der Anleitung nichts zu finden ist. Das will ich her gerne mal aufschlsseln:

    Die Anlage bietet alle Bauteile, die man braucht, allerdings ist das Anschlussstck fr den Kaltwasseranschluss mit einem 1/2-Zoll-Gewinde versehen. Die gngigen Wasseranschlsse haben allerdings 3/8-Zoll-Gewinde, somit kleiner. Also braucht man in diesem Fall einen Adapter von 1/2 Zoll auf 3/8 Zoll und dann wieder von 3/8 Zoll zurck auf 1/2 Zoll (s. Foto), einschlielich vier entsprechend passenden Dichtungsringen. Sonst hat man das Nachsehen.
    Alles bekommt man aber problemlos im Baumarkt. Zur Not einfach das Anschlussstck mitnehmen, da sollte jeder Baumarktmitarbeiter bescheid wissen, was man braucht.

    Manche schreiben hier auch in den Rezensionen, dass die Anlage dauerhaft Wasser in den Abfluss flieen lsst. Das ist in der Tat der Fall, wenn das berstrmventil (“bypass valve”) offen ist. Das ist dieses weie Plastikventil, das auf der Oberseite des Filtergestells zum Schluss nochmal in den obersten Filter geht. Da kommen mehre Schluche an und gehen ab. Wenn da der Hebel offen ist, wird das berstrmventil umgangen und das Wasser fliet direkt in den Abfluss.
    Da ist die Lsung ganz einfach: Hebel schlieen und fertig.
    Leider kam ich da selbst nur ber den Chatbot auf der Herstellerseite auf die Supportseite, wo dieser Fehler beschrieben ist. Eigentlich gehrt das direkt in die Anleitung, denn dieser Hebel ist beim Auspacken schnell mal aus Versehen geffnet.
    Nicht wundern, wenn es beim Schlieen pltzlich anfngt zu surren in den Filtern und sich dort Druck aufbaut. Das ist ganz normal und auch immer leise zu hren, wenn der Tank leer ist und durch die Anlage wieder aufgefllt wird.

    Dann sollte klar sein, dass die gewnschte Wasserqualitt erst nach mehrfachem Fllen und Entleeren des Tanks erreicht wird. Alle Filter mssen dazu nmlich zuerst ordentlich gesplt werden. Auch der Tank bekommt erst die gewnschte Sauberkeit nach mehrfachem Entleeren.

    Das Trinkwasser hier in Berlin-Mitte hat in meinem Fall einen PPM-Wert von ber 400(!), der ging nach Anschluss der Anlage gleich runter auf 40 (auch schon kein schlechter Wert) und hat sich nach mehrfachem Splen des Tanks und der Filter inzwischen bei 22 (s. Fotos) eingependelt, was wirklich auerordentlich gut ist!
    Dieser Wert ist natrlich abhngig vom Wasserdruck, der im jeweiligen Stockwerk, in dem die Anlage verbaut ist, ankommt.

    Ohne ein TDS-Messgert, das den PPM-Wert misst, ist man natrlich verunsichert, ob die eingebaute Anlage ihren Zweck auch wirklich erfllt. Daher ist bei teuren Anlagen so ein Messgert meistens gleich mit im Lieferumfang.
    Bei dieser Anlage ist das nicht der Fall, diese Messgerte kosten aber lediglich ein paar Euro und ich empfehle, so ein Teil gleich mitzubestellen. Dann fhlt man sich hinterher wesentlich sicherer.

    Dazu sei gesagt, ein TDS-Messgert (Total Dissolved Solids) misst den Widerstand des Wassers und damit die Anzahl am im Wasser gebundenen Teilchen (in ppm/parts per million). Das sagt nur bedingt etwas ber die tatschliche Wasserqualitt aus, da es keinerlei Auskunft gibt, was im Wasser gelst ist, nur wieviel.
    Allerdings geht es bei Osmosefilteranlagen ja auch genau darum: mglichst wenig im Wasser gelst zu haben. Und der Unterschied zwischen 406 ppm und 22 ppm ist wirklich enorm.
    Und in einer Stadt wie Berlin, wo das Leitungswasser aus dem nicht sehr tiefen Grundwasser unter der sandigen Stadt stammt, finden sich im Hahnenwasser nicht nur sehr viel Kalk aus den Leitungen sondern leider auch Medikamentenrckstnde und Restspuren von Hormonen, die von den Klrwerken nicht gnzlich gefiltert werden knnen. Da kann eine Umkehrosmoseanlage wirklich nochmal was bewirken.
    Nun werden natrlich auch Mineralstoffe aus dem Wasser gefiltert, allerdings sind in Mineralwssern eh so wenig Mineralstoffe, dass der Krper Obst und Gemse als Mineralstofflieferanten bentigt und mit Wasser dabei nicht viel anfangen kann. Im Umkehrschluss kann der Krper in Wasser mit wenig gebundenen Stoffen logischerweise mehr ablagern und somit auch besser die Giftstoffe aus dem Krper bringen.

    Zur Anlage selbst sei noch folgendes gesagt:
    In meinem Fall kommen aus dem Tank gute 6 Liter heraus bis der Druck nachlsst, so dass man auch mal ein Glas Wasser oder eine Kanne relativ schnell fllen kann. Dennoch flle ich das Wasser immer in mehrere Karaffen, um dann bei Bedarf die Kaffeemaschine oder den Kochtopf schnell fllen zu knnen.

    Wenn man immer nur wenige Liter auf einmal entldt, sollte man den Tank alle paar Tage gnzlich leeren (bis aus dem Hahn nur noch ein Rinnsal kommt), damit sich keine Keime im stehenden Wasser bilden knnen.
    Hier wre es auch noch mglich, eine Keimsperre als zustzlichen Filter zwischenzuschalten, die es im Netz in der Regel fr unter 50 EUR gibt. Dann ist man auf der ganz sicheren Seite.

    Das ist im brigen auch der Vorteil an dieser Anlage: Filter lassen sich erweitern und zwischenschalten, da alles im Modulsystem gebaut ist. Der mitgelieferte Leitungsschlauch ist auch lang genug, um fr weitere Filter kleine Zwischenlngen abzuschneiden.

    Der Filterwechsel an sich ist bei diesem System etwas umstndlicher als bei den praktischen Drehfiltern, die sich mit einem Handgriff wechseln lassen. Bei dieser Anlage muss man erst den Schraubring des Filtergehuses lsen, dann das Filtergehuse ffnen und den eigentlichen Filter austauschen.
    Vorteil ist aber, man ist kompatibler. Diese Filter gibt es fr wenig Geld auch bei anderen Herstellern und man ist nicht an das System von einem einzelnen Hersteller gebunden.
    Nachteil an den Filtergehusen ist, diese werden mit den Filtern nicht mitgewechselt. Man muss also mit den Jahren darauf achten, dass Dichtungsringe intakt bleiben und Plastikgewinde keine Risse bekommt. Das sollte man daher bei jedem Filterwechsel kontrollieren.
    Da bei dieser Anlage nur einmal jhrlich ein FIlterwechsel notwendig ist, ist dieser Aufwand des Wechsels aber wirklich berschaubar.

    Mein Fazit:
    MIt dieser Anlage bekommt man zu einem wirklich kleinen Preis alles, was man braucht. Die Anleitung knnte wesentlich detailierter und um die o.g. Punkte ergnzt sein (da man als Laie hier wirlich irritiert werden kann, habe ich in der Bewertung einen Punkt abgezogen). Aber ich kann sie ansonsten komplett empfehlen, freue mich derzeit ber leckeres und leichtes Trinkwasser und ber meinen Wasserkocher und Kaffeemaschine ohne auch nur einen Hauch von Kalkspuren.

    Wirklich tolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis!

    installazione semplicissima, l’acqua dev’essere lasciata circolare nell’impianto per alcune ore prima dell’utilizzo e gettate via le prime erogazioni, dopo di ch l’acqua migliora notevolmente nel sapore.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersAs a chartered building services engineer I found it easy to install this unit however I suspect it might become a challange for the average consumer.
    To start with, instructions were written for a different unit.
    There is no colour coding whatsoever.
    Also the tap’s thread is too short for a countertop thicker than 30mm. Upon enquiry they suggested I butcher the countertop from underneath or buy a new tap from elsewhere. Butchering requires removing the Belfast sink so that’s not an option.

    Now the good bits:
    TDS reading dropped down to 28ppm. It was 270 at the tap.
    Backwash bypass valve comes pre-installed.
    No leaks at all.
    Small enough to fit under a belfast type sink if you’re willing to take the jigsaw out.
    Incoming water fitting connects to the existing tap’s service valve with ease.
    Water tastes good and easy to drink.

    Tools required for installation: adjustable spanner, vice grips, philips screw driver, teflon tape.
    If you don’t like improvising, a 6mm drill bit and a drill would help. Instructions says 5mm drill bit. It’s lying, get a 6 mil bit.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI tempi di spedizione sono stati rapidi. L’imballo era di buona qualit. Il montaggio non mi risultato semplice anche a causa della mancanza di alcune informazioni nel manuale che comunque in italiano.
    In fase di “attivazione” c’erano delle perdite. Il contenitore del filtro non eccellente. Le perdite poi sono cessate (forse per l’aumento della pressione ?). Non sono riuscito a capire.
    Alla fine il dispositivo funziona abbastanza bene. Non posso dare certezze sulla qualit dell’acqua non potendo fare analisi. Posso dire che vengono eliminati sapori e odori che l’acqua del mio acquedotto aveva. Il gusto molto pi leggero e che ho risolto il mio problema con un costo modesto.
    Premesso che lo uso da un mese circa, visto che le cartucce di ricambio hanno un prezzo modesto e una durata notevole ritengo che sia un prodotto valido.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersNon mi esprimo sul sapore in quanto soggettivo.

    Fornisco invece una info per i pi “smanettoni”.
    Smontando i filtri avvitati sulla sua staffa di ferro, possibile montarli sotto il piano. Io l’ho montati sotto il ripiano tra il pavimento ed il pensile, una volta richiuso lo zoccoletto non si vede nulla. Lo scrivo per togliere ogni dubbio sulla possibilit di montarlo in orizzontale senza occupare spazio sotto il lavello. L’unico componente che non entra “li sotto” l’autoclave o vaso d’espansione (la tanica da 11lt).
    Ho provato ad escluderla non fattibile; per riempire un bicchiere ci vogliono circa 50sec con pressione dell’impianto di circa 4bar (la versione senza pompa).
    Per eseguire il lavoro come l’ho fatto io, serve un po’ di manualit ma fattibile (non sono un idraulico). Se proprio non avete posto per l’autoclave potete acquistarne una per uso camper: hanno una capienza di circa 0,4lt (sufficiente per un bicchiere) ma se ci volete anche riempire la pentola per la pasta NON va bene (potete acquistarle da 5lt se vi basta).
    Se proprio vi volete sbizzarrire (moglie/compagna permettendo) potete installare l’autoclave nel frigo (praticando un foro di diametro 8 sulla parete ma dovete sapere bene come muovervi). In questo modo avrete l’acqua sempre fresca.

    Buon divertimento.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersExcellent taste. I cannot stand the chlorinated taste of tap water in the south of UK. This removes all taint of chlorine.

    Not super easy to install. Took my husband over an hour. He is a bit concerned the labels on the pipes will come off over time so has put a permanent pen mark on all of them. We also added an undersink tray saver for cleanliness. Our photo shows the set up in a 600 wide sink. We mounted the tap onto an IKEA stainless steel sink. My husband drilled a hole and it sits nicely as shown.

    When you consider the cost per litre is pennies this is an excellent long term investment. No excuses for bottler water.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersOverall I like it very much. Still not convinced the RO membrane is necessary for UK mains water, but the produced water tastes great so I am happy.
    A few issues:
    -my unit came with a little valve in parallel with the restrictor fully open. When connected I had lots of water going to waste and very little filtered water going in the tank. This valve needs to be nearly or totally closed depending on the inlet water pressure. I suggest you check the ratio of filtered water to wasted water with a couple jugs to adjust this. As far as I could tell there is no mention of this valve or adjustment in the instructions.
    -The tap provided is really chap and tacky. Also it’s fitting screw was too short for my worktop thickness.I ditched it and replaced my sink tap with a combined 3 way water tap on (a good solid stainless steel one costs 45 on Amazon). Much nicer and I know it will last.
    -Some of the pre-fitted push fits didn’t have the blue clips around them and one popped out first time I pressurised it.

    We bought a house that has its own well but the water is slightly acidic. This causes the water to have a light metal taste to it if it sits in the copper pipes for a long period of time. We decided to get a filter for our drinking water in hopes to get rid of the metal taste. After doing some research, I decided on a reverse osmosis filter to make sure we had the cleanest water possible. It does just that. The water tastes great!

    The installation was not too bad and most DIY people can do it without issue. In my case, the pipes under the sink were not as straight forward and required some imaginative workarounds to get things connected where they needed to. You only really need to connect in two places, your input from your cold water line and your output, which connects to the drain pipe. The rest of it is just connecting up the filters. The instructions are good enough to walk most people through it painlessly. You do need to make sure that you can devote a substantial amount of your under sink space to the unit, as it is quite large.

    In my case, after a few days, the unit began making a loud ticking noise when it was refilling the tank reservoir. I contacted the seller and they walked me through diagnosing the issue. It turns out the solenoid pump was going out. The seller promptly sent me a new solenoid pump and I swapped it out in a few minutes. Excellent customer service on their part.

    I would definitely recommend this to anyone that has drinking water that is not tasting as fresh as it should.

Se ben alloggiato il tutto prende poco spazio e alla fine funziona a meraviglia. Qualche discrepanza tra le istruzioni (in italiano) ed i pezzi effettivamente inviatemi. Comunque nulla che non si possa superare con un po di manualit. Il video del montaggio cui si fa riferimento nel manuale di istruzioni presente (cercandolo un pochino) solo nel sito .com in inglese e non in quello .it italiano. Segnalo che , non essendo spiegato bene nel manuale, il rubinettino in plastica di bypass va tenuto chiuso altrimenti l’acqua continua a venire mandata nello scarico anzich riempire la tanica. In circa un’ora la tanica deve essere da vuota a piena. Se non accade molto probabilmente avete lasciato aperto tale rubinettino.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our Usersi’ve been using a instant hot kettle and a water jug for a while which both need filters changing regularly, i got fed up with doing this so i started to look for an alternative solution which brought to me RO systems, now i’m somebody that spends a lot of time researching into products before i make my purchase so having spent most of saturday reading up and searching i decided to purchase this system as it offered very good value for money, Also what drove me to this system is that the filters don’t cost a fortune to replace unlike some of the other companies out there plus they last longer.

    I did call water2buy before hand to ask some questions which they were very helpful in answering.

    Fitting the system was pretty straightforward although i must confess that i have worked in the building game for 30+ years but never the less i feel that most people should find this easy to do, it does look a bit daunting when you unpack it but don’t be put off by that it really isn’t that hard to do, i had the system running in a couple of hours, my best advice is to look ahead at what you need to do and make sure you have all the tools required ready to go.

    I’m very happy with my purchase.

    Having moved to a very hard water area our kettle furred up within a few weeks, so we needed to do something, the unit arrived on time and was very simple to install, there were some great videos on the web site to follow. Since we purchased the unit we have had crystal clear water and our kettle looks like new and now have great tasting drinking water straight from the tap. Also recently we had to contact Water2Buy regarding our unit and the tank not filling after having to move the unit due to a new kitchen being fitted, the customer service was excellent and the issue was resolved quickly.

    We have come to rely on this system as it means we are not wasting money on bottled water which is also terrible for the environment but as we have no choice as to things that are added to our water like fluoride and reminance of other things we wanted to drink the purest water we could as a family. We were without the system due to a error we made on the replacement of the parts and we were given free parts without question and support to get it up and running. Excellent customer service

    We installed this water system about a year ago, and are very happy with it so far. We live in a town so our tap water tendered to taste quite strongly of bleach. With this system the water has constantly tasted good. We had different systems before but replacement filters tended to be too expensive. My husband felt this system was very good value for money and you got a lot of product for the price. Would definitely recommend this product.

    I had this filter nearly 2 years before I installed it. Bought it because I was concerned about the quality of the water in my area. It wasn’t until I got a strong smell and taste of chlorine that I got around to install it. I’d usually drink 4-6litres of water a day depending on exercise volume and time of year, but I felt I could be doing more damage to my health because I could physically smell and taste it (how much does it take to have a strong presence in the water supply?). The filter works great and the taste and smell was completely gone. My only issue was, I knew reverse osmosis would take everything from the water good and bad, certain minerals should be present in your drinking water. I done a quick search and found that Water2buy have the re-mineralisation filters on their site. This adds all the minerals you want back into your water as a 6th phase after all the crap has been removed (I’d highly recommend it). This was the only reason I bought it, but I honestly think the water tastes nicer for some reason. Since I got this I can barely drink a cuppa in my girlfriends house, never mind a glass of water haha. You can really notice the funny tastes off other wate

    The RO500 Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System is built very good, how ever the 4 blue stoppers on mine took a lot of getting out as there should have been blue clips to help remove but was missing. I also think the rubber seal rings should be thicker as 2 of my 3 tubes are leaking a little, That said was easy to fix and instructions was good. the hard part was getting under the sink unit. ! The water now taste better than out of the tap. I get through 8-10 bottles of water a week so it will mean not getting bottles every week. Ok I sent an email to Water2Buy and got an email back 15 mins later asking for my phone number, they rang me the following day, told them what my problem was, 2 days later got a FedEx parcel with new rubber rings. Fantastic after sales.

    The tap provided isn’t long enough to go through the worktop and be secured properly. After some hasty modifications to the worktop we resolved that issue temporarily. After a few further issues, we contacted the seller direct and they speedily sent a replacement along with a new tap with longer fittings. Can’t fault customer service at all, we’re hoping things will run much more smoothly from here on.

    The water filter itself is easy to install and produces great clean water.

    I would also add that customer service from the supplier is excellent. Due to my own ineptitude I damaged a rubber seal while fitting a filter and a replacement was sent out promptly and at no cost despite it being my fault.

L’unico appunto che devo fare in merito ai tubi in dotazione, ne viene fornito uno unico da tagliare, ma in base al posto in cui deve essere istallato tutto il kit puo risultare corto. Io ho dovuto aggiungere un tubicino che fortunatamente avevo in casa. Mi sono venute anche a mancare delle clip per il fissaggio dei tubi ai vari connettori. Ma in ogni caso sono dettagli di poco valore ! Il prodotto ha dei buoni materiali di costruzione e risulta essere piuttosto solido. Nell’insieme lo consiglio perch davvero molto comodo e di qualit.

    I bought and installed the system using the supplied manual and also referring to the youtube videos, which were both very straightforward and intuitive to follow. I also bought a TDS meter to monitor the effectiveness of the RO water compared with my regular water from the tap and was delighted to see a significant reduction in the number of total dissolvable solids in the RO water, once I had filled and drained the tank a couple of times. Not surprisingly, it’s also leaving appreciably fewer mineral deposits in my water distiller, resulting in easier cleaning of the distiller. Very happy indeed and thoroughly recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis a water filtering system that we bought for our office. Hints for the new buyers: Ask for rubber lubricate silicons that normally does not come in the package and causes water coming out of filter houses. So in order to avoid this annoying process – keep trying filters on and off – , apply that lubricate silicon to rubber seals before installing the filters that will stop the water spillages out of filter housings. Also do not turn on the water supply fully on, as the system processes water much slower than incoming water. If you do fully turn it on, it will make a weird noise.. Good Luck..

    Golden Review Award: 44 From Our UsersThe water in our area is incredibly hard and we used to have to de-scale our kettle every 6 weeks or so and even then we were left with a heavy scum on top of the water when we made hot drinks. standard water filters were tried and they simply did not stand up to the task. I therefore thought i would try one of these. Although i was a little skeptical when I first ordered it, I was amazed at the difference the system makes. I tested the water before hand and found our water to be 480ppm. After filtration through this machine it reduced to 60ppm and is great to drink.

    I knew our water was bad before i installed this but hadn’t appreciated how bad it actually was until afterwards.

    I did notice that the ratio of waste water to filtered water produced began to rise after a while which was an indication that the filters were becoming clogged and therefore I got a new set. I had to change them quicker than the recommended schedule but that is due to the amount of rubbish in our water. Take a look at the attached photo. it shows one of the 5 filters which i have replaced. The filter is white when you put them in. The debris on it when I took it out was disgusting. It is somewhat reassuring to know that i haven’t consumed all of that!

    Instillation is quite straight forward too and it comes with full instructions.

    We haven’t bought any bottled water since.

    well worth i

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersI bought this water filter in summer last year and it was pretty easy to install though I’m pretty handy at diy but if you’re not it should still be easy enough.

    I did change the output to a reassuringly expensive three way filter tap instead of the fountain tap that comes with it, but this was for astetics not function. That required a few connection differences but it all works a treat.

    Water is clean and tastes better than the tap water in my area (North Wiltshire) to the point where the wife no longer buys bottled water (the biggest environmental disaster of the time in my opinion). So for me that’s a huge win!

    I just have to solve my limescale problem now, not so easy as the water is very hard where I live.

    I’d recommend that filter for sure and it takes up much less room than you’d expect. All my components are at the back of a corner kitchen cupboard with room to spare.

    Happy shopping!

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersI’m really happy with everything about this product. It was very easy to install, everything is labelled and they give you adaptors to connect up to the mains water and waste. It couldn’t be easier, you don’t need a plumber, just a spanner and screwdriver.
    It doesn’t take up too much space under the sink. I still have room for my cleaning products and dish washer tablets!
    After service is very good, when I rang to say I have a very thick countertop so the tap doesn’t fit they sent me a new different type free of charge.
    I now enjoy clean pure water with no taste of chlorine, which we use for drinking and cooking.

    Golden Review Award: 23 From Our UsersI came to the south of UK from a soft water area and I could not get used to the taste of tea and coffee brewed in a hard water. Not to mention a limescale in my kettle and disgusting tea film and scum in my cups. Over the couple of years I used different workarounds: buying a bottled water, which was expensive and inconvenient; BRITA filters, that was working properly only for one week after changing a filter. I was looking for some permanent solution and found some information about domestic RO systems. 1 year maintenance free system providing virtually unlimited supply of soft drinking water was a very tempting promise so I decided to give it a go.

    I have chosen RO500 unit for few reasons:
    1. I wanted a passive system with no motors and pumps as my mains pressure is 4-5 bars
    2. The water tank had to be small enough to fit into my already busy undersink space.
    3. The main block of filters had be flat enough to fit horizontally under my kitchen cabinet (14 cm as far as I remember). The block could not be squeezed into undersink space and I wanted to use otherwise unused space.
    4. All in one package that includes everything.

    The box has arrived very quickly and I installed it couple of days later. The installation was very easy (I’m an experienced DIYer) and took about 3 hours mainly because I wanted to fit a separate tap connector and a pressure gauge, which was not required. I also installed it in an unusual way having main filter block installed 2 meters away from a sink and a tank.

    I have been using the system for almost 3 months now without a single flaw. The tea and coffee taste wonderful, there is no more dirty teacups and my kettle is still the cleanest kettle in the south of UK.

    I have found only one of con:
    – the tubing was not color coded as in many other RO systems
