Clean & Tasty Wate
The Waterdrop Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System is a game-changer for ensuring clean and great-tasting drinking water at home. Its tankless design is space-saving and efficient, providing a continuous supply of filtered water without the need for a storage tank.
The TDS reduction feature is commendable, significantly improving water quality by removing harmful contaminants and impurities. I’ve noticed a noticeable difference in the taste and clarity of the water since using this system.
The installation process was straightforward, thanks to the detailed instructions and user-friendly design. It’s essential to follow the instructions carefully to ensure optimal performance.
While the filtration system itself works exceptionally well, the only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is the water flow rate. It can be a bit slow, especially when compared to traditional water filters. However, the trade-off for the improved water quality is worth it.
Ho acquistato questo prodotto a marzo 2023 e lo uso ininterrottamente da allora. Ho anche fatto eseguire degli esami di laboratorio sull’acqua in uscita con risultati perfetti.
L’installazione semplice e in confezione presente tutto quello che serve, compreso il teflon e gli adattatori per i tubi dal diametro 1/2″ e 1/4″. Anche la raccorderia e il rubinetto in dotazione sono di buona qualit.
La pompa fa egregiamente il suo dovere ed il quantitativo di acqua prodotta rispecchia appieno i quantitativi indicati.
Non riesco a trovare un difetto, sono molto soddisfatto
Un po’ indeciso alla fine l’ho acquistato dopo aver trovato biofilm nelle bottiglie dell’acqua minerale. Ho preso il modello da 600 galloni pi che altro per il miglior rapporto depurata/scartata.
L’installazione stata piuttosto semplice, ma bisogna avere un po’ di dimestichezza col fai da te; unico neo il cavo di alimentazione corto circa 1m, ho dovuto fare una prolunga.
L’acqua del rubinetto misura circa 280 di TDS, mentre all’uscita dopo la pulizia e anche testandola dopo alcune ore sempre a circa 22.
Vedremo come andr nel tempo e se i filtri saranno sempre facilmente reperibili qui su Amazon.
Il giusto compromesso
Acquistato dopo lunga valutazione,la uso da 2 mesi,questa macchina per la depurazione dell’acqua potabile va egregiamente il suo dovere!
TDS passato da 202 a 35 ed uso anche il rimineralizzatore per avere un acqua ricca di minerale nonostante sia depurata!
A prova di bambino la sostituzione dei filtri.
Ottimo anche lo scarto dell’acqua depurata,in questo caso 2:1 ovvero ogni 2 litri di acqua depurata uno di scarta, impensabile anni fa e con i sistemi tradizionali!
Media difficolt l’installazione ma sicuramente non impossibile,chiare le istruzioni.
Pienamente soddisfatto.

Good produc
Good product, easy to install, the pump runs quietly. My tap water quality is around 300PPM after filtering 25PPM. Very good product, I recommend it.
Premetto che uso impianti ad osmosi inversa da 20 anni.. ne ho cambiati 2 e questo il terzo. Ho avuto impianto ad accumulo e a ciclo continuo ma mai avevo visto un sistema cos semplice da gestire nel cambio filtri. Con un minimo di manualit e pochi attrezzi ho installato un rubinetto a 3 vie sempre da amazon, tappato il buco del rubinetto del vecchio depuratore e installato questo nuovo. Devo precisare che il primo depuratore da 400 galloni arrivatomi era difettoso in quanto la pompa girava ma non usciva acqua. Avviato il reso, appena ricevuto il rimborso ho acquistato in offerta questo da 600 galloni in quanto ho pensato che per poche decine di euro in pi era meglio scartare meno acqua e avere piu resa essendo in 4 in famiglia. Appena collegato tutto perfetto, mezzora di ciclo iniziale segnalato sul display delle spie e nelle istruzioni, ho testato la durezza dell’acqua con un misuratore TDS acquistato tempo fa sempre su amazon e come potete vedere dalle foto allegate la differenza enorme.. da 238 ppm a 17 ppm filtrata! Ho notato subito il sapore leggero e il desiderio frequente di fare pip dovuto appunto al basso contenuto di sodio e minerali.. per i pignoli che dicono che questi osmosi siano dannosi alla salute in quanto impoveriscono troppo le acque potabili dei sali necessari alla vita ricordo che ammesso sia vero, i sali minerali sono contenuti nelle verdure, carne e alimenti bevande vari.. quindi parere mio preferisco bere un acqua pura che mi depura. Detto ci ho aggiunto 3 anni extra garanzia assicurazione amazon cos per 5 anni sono tranquillo. Il prodotto robusto i materiali ottimi ma non si sa mai..Grazie dell attenzione e buon shopping a tutti!
Comoda e facile la sostituzione filtri in autonomia
Arriva completo di istruzioni in italiano e di tutti i pezzi necessari. Facile e intuitivo da motare, ancor pi pratica la sostituzione dei filtri senza bisogno di interventi costosi. Quello da 600 riempie la bottiglia velocemente. L’acqua molto buona, leggera e si beve volentieri, anche se forse a mio avviso fin troppo deputarata e povera di minerali, ma abbiamo visto subito gli effetti positivi sulla diuresi rispetto all’acqua depurata che bevevamo prima. Se continueranno a trovarsi facilmente i filtri, consigliato senza dubbi
Producto de gran calidad, muy bien diseñado y que se instala con relativa facilidad
Muy bien diseado, con poca tornillera y piezas que al final hacen muy fcil su montaje. Un 10 a su diseo, ergonoma y calidad del resultado final, un agua sin sabores ni olores que mejoran sn duda la calidad del agua, aunque es verdad que en Madrid el agua del Canal de Isabel II ya es de bastante buena calidad, pero an as, mejora
Sembra un buon prodotto
L’ho montato da 2 gg e come prima impressione sembra un buon prodotto, robusto e ben fatto
Spero che non mi deluda col tempo, ma come prima impressione posso dire che l’acqua molto molto leggera e piacevole aspetto il tester dell’acqua per poter capire se c’ una vera differenza con l’acqua non filtrata
Comunque il tutto per dire che un prodotto che consiglio..
prime impressioni senza aver fatto analisi
vengo da 13 anni di un altro depuratore osmosi a produzione diretta sottolavello. Il prodotto quindi lo conosco molto bene e ci che posso apprezzare da subito di quest’ultimo :
– estrema semplicit di installazione
– Rumore praticamente inesistente durante l’erogazione
– consumo d’acqua reflua diminuito di 1/6 rispetto al precedente
– sapore dell’acqua ottimo (non ho ancora provato il residuo fisso ma la mia acqua da acquedotto imbevibile)
– le bottiglie si riempiono in met tempo
Il resto lo vedremo solo vivendo…
Lo Primero ,para montar y instalar, Si tienes que ser un Poco manitas!!!
Por lo de ms ,,,Todo Genial!!! Sabor de agua aceptable!! Flujo aceptable.
Y Lo Mejor de Todo..la Satisfaccin que te invade cuando ves la gente en Mercadona cargando varas Garrafas ..para llevar agua a su casa!!!
Un Saludo.
Ottimo filtro
Qualit prezzo senza pari..
Da un acqua condominiale intorno ai 370 di conducibilit arrivo dopo quattro mesi di utilizzo a 150..
Materiali robusti e cambio filtro in due minuti..
I led che segnalano l’utilizzo del filtro e la sua sostituzione dopo sette mesi non sono ancora intervenuti..
Vedremo pi avanti, tanto mi ero gi prefissato la sostituzione dopo 6-7 mesi come consigliano la maggior parte dei filtri in commercio..
Ho aggiunto una lampada uv in uscita dal filtro.
Dopo tre tentativi con altri filtri e il pi compatto e silenzioso che ho provato.
Recomendable
Compr un primer equipo y no funcionaba: lo pude devolver sin ningn problema. Ms tarde lo volv a comprar y esta vez funciona perfectamente: fcil instalacin, buen caudal y buena agua. Recomendable
We have previously had an under sink RO filter for a fish tank that we added a Y Junction for a remineralisation filter to go to a drinking water tap. From time to time this leaked due to connections being pulled. For our new kitchen we decided to opt for an encased tankless filter. This waterdrop filter is perfect for the job. There is clearly less risk of leaks now. High quality water is provided.
I had to buy a separate post filtration remineralisation filter which improves taste and gives appropriate beneficial minerals.
The flow is slow when compared to a pressurised tank, but then again it doesn’t stop. If you want a faster flow spend more money. I am happy that the flow rate is not painfully slow. The discard rate is significantly lower than our previous filter.
I’m not sure what happens when the filter tells us it is time for filter changes – I hope it doesn’t just stop working.
It was very shocking to see how many plastic bottles of water we purchased during our kitchen refit and between RO filters. A water filter is a must.
We also bought a 3 way tap to avoid fitting a small second tap.
Overall I am happy with the purchase so far…
I like easy change filters and clean water. I don't like it when you first start the system you have to flush it for 30mins. Every time you want to drink clean water or cooking, you have to flush for about 20s to minute. Second picture show 36ppm, third picture show turn on filter water 92ppm, and last picture show tap water 459ppm.

Easy to install. Our toxic California water tastes great now.

Ne ho gi installati 2, non sono un idraulico ma pratico di fai-da-te sono molto facili da installare, l acqua ha la stessa qualit di un altro ad osmosi che ho da anni a casa. Le bottiglie in plastica sono una follia
Ottimo articolo e ottimo rapporto prezzo qualit, facile da montare, meglio se con l’aiuto di un idraulico se non si pratici, design unico e futuristico, promette una manutenzione minima, fa una pulizia automatica periodica e necessita solo la sostituzione dei filtri quando segnalato dalle spie realtive, che avvisano quando le cartucce filtro sono quasi esaurite e poi esaurite, anche con segnali acustici. Dopo aver lungamente guardato in giro e valutato varie offerte da pi costose a meno costose, dall’osmosi alla microfiltrazione, alla fine ho optato per questo modello, molte anche le recensioni positive e formidabile il rapporto qualit prezzo, ovviamente per l’installazione occorre arrangiarsi, ma anche con l’intervento di un idraulico resta comunque un articolo conveniente e raccomandabile. Se avete pi spazio per installarlo e volete spendere un po’ di pi, esiste il modello con tre filtri invece di due, ma per le mie necessit era sufficiente questo modello
Great buy and installed in moments
Machine was purchased to replace a failed system by another supplier .. simply disconnected the old one and replaced in moments with this super sleek looking machine
What an improvement in water taste brilliant and neat installation as there is no separate storage tank
Me ha encantado. Se acabaron las garrafas del sper. El sabor excelente tambin. Segn mis pruebas desperdicia muy poca agua comparado con otros sistemas (Ver video) Me ha decepcionado que el primer litro no tiene la misma calidad en cantidad de particulas ppm. Osea, que es conveniente desechar y dejar coorrer los primeros 40 segundos y luego llenar el vaso o la jarra y las botellas que vayamos a consumir.
Despus de comparar muchos equipos me decid por ste por ser compacto, econmico, facil de instalar, fcil de sustituir los filtros y de flujo directo. El principal inconveniente es que slo se suministra a travs de Amazon y eso puede suponer a medio plazo dificultad de conseguir recambios.
I had someone install for me but they seemed to have no problems with installations. It is tankless so takes up little space and filters are easy to change. The water does not come out as fast as from the tap but the rate was fine, just takes a few seconds longer to fill glass.

I like the fact that you waist a lot less water than a regular RO
I like the fact that you waist a lot less water than a regular RO
I had my doubts with how compact this was, we live in central Texas and between the lack of rain and record hot days our local water source developed a flavor from certain bacteria and algae. This system completely got rid of the dirt flavor and the water is excellent, I actually want to drink it now instead of forcing myself
Ottimo acquisto. Facile da installare. Io ho acquistato a parte un rubinetto con 2 aeratori da dove scendono 3 serpentine… una collegata con la macchina dell’osmosi Inversa, una dell’acqua calda e l’altra dell’acqua fredda normale. Ho fatto delle analisi con i reagenti che potete notare nelle foto e l’analisi del TDS. In entrata il TDS risultata 110 in uscita il TDS in uscita con la machina Osmosi Inversa 16. L’acqua ha un buon sapore. Contentissima del mio acquisto.
La mia esperienza parte da una unit non funzionante, installata, ma purtroppo continuava a scaricare acqua senza fermarsi, infatti dopo circa 30min andava in blocco. Contattato direttamente via mail il servizio clienti, si sono rivelati molto celeri e professionali, alla fine, quando hanno appurato che la mia unit era difettosa, hanno provveduto ad inviarmi una nuova unit completa. Questa volta andato tutto bene. Non posso che raccomandare questo prodotto e il loro servizio di assistenza.
Ottimo prodotto, installazione semplice e subito operativo. Ha portato la mia acqua di rubinetto da una durezza di 26F a 5F. Rapporto di scarto verificato ed effettivo a 1:1 come pubblicizzato. Ottimo acquisto.
The product is excellent.
I can continue to use the drinking water without waiting.
Ottimo davvero
Installato da qualche giorno, sembra essere davvero ottimo, ha ridotto di 6 volte i TDS nell’acqua (analisi fatta con un tester acquistato a 10 su Amazon) ed ha eliminato sapore e odore sgradevole
This device seems to be working well for my sink water dispenser faucet and for water to my fridge. The taste is good (much better than the city water). And, I like the "on demand" feature of this unit. No more tanks, to hold the water in reserve, that might become moldy over time and no more 3 1/2 gallons of water wasted per gallon of filtered water.

It works very well and the water quality increased enormously. However, if you would like it to work properly, it is better to get a plumber to install it. It is really not a DIY job.
Mostly painless install, painless operatio
I had to drill a hole in my cabinets to fish an extension cord through to power this off the fridge outlet. Plumbing was pretty easy if you’ve ever replaced a faucet, otherwise get a pro to install it. I wish I had a better place to run the waste pipe other than drilling a hole in my plumbing but I drilled into the top of an easily replaceable p-trap so it’s not a huge deal. Filtered water from a tap has been wonderful. Brita filters don’t do a thing for our water so it’s been nice not buying any bottled water. You could easily run this into a fridge with the right fittings if you want it cold. We just fill up a massive tank we keep in the fridge and drink from that. Its also nice never having to clean out the coffee maker since the water is so pure.
Buy this if you want <10 PPM water on tap. Don't buy it if regular filtered or tap water is good enough for you.
Took me a long time to make the decision but boy am I pleased I made that decision no more bottled water for me at home.
Really great model, was easy to install and the filters are cheap enough which is a bonus. I had to reach out to the customer support to clarify some details in the manual, they were fast to reply and very helpful.
All in all it’s a great product and a happy customer
Update
Had this for sometime now and it’s working great. Still really pleased with the water it produces and no more worries about running out of bottled water. Just do it the planet will love a little more.
Grest water taste
I recommend this filter. Our water is very hard and taste awful. Now we love it.
Removes chlorine and fluoride from tap water and filters out other nasties too. Dirt, heavy metals, minerals and organic residues – all gone
Not too difficult to install if you have some basic plumbing skills.
Takes up much less space under your sink than a tank model – see the picture.
If you look carefully, you’ll see I added an extra component – a Geekpure 10 Inch Inline Alkaline Water Filter Kit. This puts back the healthy minerals such as calcium and gives the water an excellent taste.
Best investme
Perhaps one of great investments around my home. I’ve had it for over 1.5 years.
It saved me time & money from going to store to buy 5 gallon refills for our water cooler.
I’ve replaced one filter already at about one year mark.
Installation was straight forward. Mine took time because I had to drill hole into the sink to pass the faucet. From a previous reviewer, I got a great advice: I BOUGHT A CONNECTOR that connected the black sink tube to the grinder. SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO DRILL ONTO THE SINK DRAINAGE PVC!
Instructions were straight forward.
I’m not too handy so if I can do it, anyone can.
I do a TON of research before purchasing items online, especially health-related. I have a newborn at home now and we’ve had to use city water and boil it because it can be so disgusting. RO systems can be hit or miss, but let me tell you- this one’s a HIT. I have a family member who works extensively in water purification for under-developed countries and he actually specializes in RO. He gave this system an A for quality. He also gave it an A+ for affordability and I give it an A++ for easy installation and peace of mind. Filters are unbelievably easy to change as well. I would love to gift one of these to my sister who has to also use gross city-water.

The first unit that I received and installed had a leak from the case of the unit. I reported this, with a photo of the leak, to Aquacrest. Even though it had been more that 28 days since the purchase (as I had no time to install it before then) they immediately sent a replacement unit with no further questions asked.
The new unit was installed with no problems and is working fine and as expected.
The customer service was excellent and they replied to my emails straight away.
Much better than traditional RO filter system
Same sort of pressure as old system but water keeps going rather than running out halfway through a kettle full! Pump runs quietly when tap is on and the stops the moment the tap is off rather than running for 20 min to refill a tank. Easy to install, easy to change the filters.
My builders fitted this in my new kitchen. We cleaned the kettle at the time of install and it has remained clean. My only gripe is the flow rate isn’t great. Takes a little longer than I’d like to fill the kettle, apart from that I’m happy with it.
Bought this as a replacement for my 10 year old 5 filter RO because unable to get replacement filters anymore. How technology as moved on to compare with my old RO first it costs me 70 to replace all 5 filters second no storage tank which made my wife very happy so a lot more room under the sink third the water waste was 3 to 1 meaning you waste 3 litres to get 1 which is not good if you are on a water meter this is 1 to 1 which is far better. So if you are looking for at a system that is compact, cheaper easy to fit filters and less waste and more room under the sink just do like l did and and compare it with the other RO and make your choice, so I hope this can help you make your decision.
UPDATED Filters cost almost as much as the unit to replace.
UPDATE ****
Okay, after working with customer service and some really nice people we have resolved most of my issues. The filters are still a little expensive, but not so much as buying another unit or replacing filters constantly with cheaper units. I would definitely recommend the water drop units and if you have any issues just reach out to their customer service members. Constantine was wonderful and helped me out a great deal to resolve my problems.
I bought this unit at the end of June of this year. So it has been installed for less than 6 months and both filters are saying they need replaced already. I had no warning that they were going to need replaced either. When I looked yesterday, both lights were blue and everything was fine. Today, both lights are a reddish and the unit does absolutely nothing. Where was the warning? And for the filters (There are only 2 in mine) cost half what I paid. So, that comes out to about $125 every six months after I already paid $245 for the original unit. No, thank you! I’ll go back to the old style and you can keep this overpriced crap.
Great filte
Time scale to install take longer than I thought 30 mins ? Only if pipe work are in place and power socket…
Great filter and space saver!
The filter is very simple to install ( with the right tools in hand), realistically it shouldn’t take an average person more than 1 hour to complete. the quality of the waters nutrient is also great, im getting an average of 5-10 PPM and PH of 7.6. Filter replacement seems expensive but compared to the old version of the 5 filter system you will change this less often, which in my calculations will work out the same if not cheaper in a yearly period. not to mention the amount of space you save under your sink… great quality product! thank you
Improve your drinking water quality easily
We have been looking for a cost effective reverse osmosis water filtration system that was easy to install to improve the quality of your drinking water, this system ticks all the boxes.
I have been using the tank versions of RO filters for years. As I moved, I wanted to try the tankless variety. First, the installation was super easy. I even took the occasion to install a new faucet at the same time since I was going to be under the sink. Both projects together took me less than 2 hours. I also watched the online tutorial from Waterdrop and also watched a couple of others on YouTube (there are several). Very easy install and if you follow instructions precisely you should not have any leaks. I tested the water before installation and saw about 180ppm for my tap water. After installation it test around 119ppm. Not what I was looking for so I let the water run for a few seconds to clear the pipes and it dropped down to 35ppm which is exactly what I was looking for. So takeaway is let the water run for a few seconds to ensure you are getting fresh water being pumped. Don't forget you need a plug to make this work. Your garbage disposal probably already is plugged in to a plug.

Im not very good at plumbing. Ive done a few minor things like change a toilet, swap out a faucet. I was worried this was going to be a little difficult for me, but I was able to get it installed in like an hour. I followed the directions it came with and found them to be very accurate. The hardest part was drilling a hole in my granite countertops. I found a tool on amazon and a video on youtube and got that done with out issue though. The space this thing takes up under our sink is minimal vs what the system my mom has at her house with the tank and filters.. The downside to this tankless system vs the one mom has is the speed the water comes out. Moms blasts out and will fill a gallon really quickly. This tankless one is much slower and takes 3x longer to fill a gallon, but I can fill 5 gallons faster because once her tank is empty it takes a while to fill back up and ours just keeps on going and never runs out.

It was a great buy !! I bought it 10 months ago. The hardest part was drilling the hole in my countertop, as it was something I had never done before !! Other than that, I found the official instructions and videos not so detailed, so I had to find some help from a few YouTubers, and found some very useful and comprehensive videos on installing the systems. of this brand. I needed to drill another hole in the drain pipe, and that was the other tricky part, but it wasn’t that hard, just you won’t get a quick install if it is your first time drilling your pipeline and counter 🙂
The best of this system:
– There is no tank, so if you have a small counter space, this is a great choice.
– The quality of this purified water, it considerably reduces all these bad particles, chemicals and heavy metals
– The taste of water is simply delicious and you get it in seconds.
– You can do the installation.
– The price could be a bit high but for the quality and performance I found it very fair.
Overall, this is a great product and I’m very, very happy with it!
Cosa dire, prodotto molto bello e di stile, ottimo per chi non molto pratico di faidate oppure avete 0 spazio per installarlo.
Entrando dello specifico ,ci provo perch nn sono un chimico, provato al pari di uno a 6 stadi e devo dire che cambia il sapore tra i sistemi e questo waterprof leggermente meno efficace ad eliminare i residui nel acqua. Pressione poca perch non ha il serbatoio per l accumulo e quindi molto lento nel riempire magari una brocca di acqua se avete ospiti x intenderci. Ma devo dire che le dotazioni sono di prima scelta, cominciando dai tubi e dal rubinetto sono ottimi e bellissimi.
Ritornando alla differenza chimica, residuo fisso di almeno il doppio di uno a stadi multipli x intenderci. Io parto da un acqua di pozzo , ma magari se lo usi x un sottolavello x acqua gi potabile forse potrebbe essere un ottima soluzione . Se per siete dei perfezionista e volete essere tranquilli e avete spazio devo sconsigliarlo.
Ease of installation and initial quality
I live in South Central Florida. Where we live, we utilize well water. I installed a whole home filter system a while ago and, unfortunately, started with an RO tank system that took up my entire under sink area. The learning from that system as it was pressure driven only, as my whole home filter would reach the filter lifespan cycle, pressure would reduce, causing the pressure to drop below operating levels to keep sufficient water from the RO System.
This system, however, has been a wonderful change (albeit the first day, I will update later this year.). Yes it’s motorized, however it really isn’t that loud as long as you don’t rest the unit on a wall or pipe. (water leaving the normal faucet is much louder. Steady flow every time, and no more worrying about a tank to fill. The only change I need, which I knew going into this, is a requirement to take the power input to my disposal and wire a receptacle under the sink. Easy work around for now though as we’re going to redo our entire kitchen in the spring.
At the moment, couldn’t be happier. Much sturdier than my GE tank system, better fittings, simpler overall. So much for bottled water runs, happy about this.
so far so good
It says what it does and does what it says. With that being said, 12 seconds to fill a water bottle is a long time. Your about 4 minutes to fill a gallon jug. I use this on pre filtered, softened well water. I am hoping that making less waste water pays for itself over time being my house is on a bladder pressure tank. The taste is slightly different from my other RO system I replaced. But it got better after a few gallons had been run thru it after the start up procedure.
Now onto the install….
Once I uninstalled my other RO system and returned my plumbing back to normali-sh, installing this system was pretty simple. It does however require an outlet under the sink so you can plug it in (which you probably have for your garbage disposal). That’s where the trouble comes in. Depending how that outlet was wired will determine if this will work. My outlet was wired so that its only hot when the wall switch is turned on (aka garbage disposal). SO until I could get an electrician friend over we just unplugged the garbage disposal and left the switch on to use the water drop. Only time will tell how well it holds up. Got 7 yrs out of a whirlpool RO unit. It’s been in a few months now and were adjusted to it.
Setup
First off, I live in an area with very poor water quality. The water is poor in terms of hardness and overall TDS. These are the two primary attributes that affect taste and can easily be measured. A simple TDS meter can be had for less than $15 on Amazon. Hardness/scaling is generally noticed by water spots on your dishes, and white or green crust that builds up on your faucets. Water from my tap tested at over 500 TDS which is extremely bad.
Installation
As far as the installation, it really is quite simple. When they say an average person can install this in 30 minutes, they are being accurate. I took my time reading through all the instructions and watching the video installation and probably finished in no longer than 45 minutes. A simple drill should be all you need. Drilling a quick hole in the drain pipe & installing a slot for the included water faucet, if you don’t already have one, are the only things that may give you pause. These are covered in the manufacturer’s YouTube video and I felt more than comfortable after watching it. Many people likely wouldn’t need to drill a slot for the faucet, but I did. They give you a sizing circle but I actually went much smaller as the actual faucet is smaller than indicated by the sizing circle.
Results
As originally mentioned, my water tested at over 500 TDS. Using the highest quality Samsung fridge filter from WaterDrop my TDS dropped by about 100 and was in the low 400’s, which is still quite high. After completing draining I tested my water at approximately 100, which was higher than expected. As I ran the water a bit longer I saw it drop further. After running through some cycles the faucet started producing water that tested as low as 40 in terms of TDS. This is extremely good in terms of where I started. The system claims to reduce TDS by about 90% or more and that’s right where I am at. If you have a better starting point, your results should be even better.
Other Thoughts
Overall I’m thrilled with this little device. My in-laws have a traditional R/O system that takes up the entire cupboard under their sink. Doing some research, these can have issues with mold growth if left unused for any sort of prolonged period. I feel much better with this system and it fits in nicely aside my waste disposal unit. This system has a water waste ratio of 1:1 meaning that for every one cup of filtered water you produce, you produce one cup of water waste that goes down the drain. This is actually substantially better than most systems I’ve seen but worth noting if you care about that. It produces a sort of low hum when in use but I actually kind of like it. It lets me know it’s working. I drink tea almost every day and now I finally have good water that won’t cause build up on my electric kettle. The taste is akin to bottled water as well.
Additional Considerations
One of the things that bugs me is that my fridge produces ice that ends up flaking in water. As it melts you can tell there are clear particulates in your water. These are termed as “harmless” and should just be minerals that are in your pipes but I definitely don’t like it. Going forward I may pick up a second unit to hook up behind my fridge. The only challenge would be figuring out how to connect direct to the unit since it would not be directed to the included faucet. Overall I think this is one of the best purchases I’ve made in the past year and have been happily using the system for over a month now.
Only way to go
I have had RO and filtration systems for 30 years, installing several over that time, and replacing the filters, etc.. This has been the easiest install, with the best components. Higher quality components, as well as each hose being labled, and pre-marked for depth. And these are the bonus points.
If you have installed a system before, it may have used the hanging cartridge filters. I am not a fan of those. They almost always leak on install, or filter replacement, and have to be taken off and put back on a couple of times. I have tried food safe lubricant, and it helps, but they can still leak. If you overtighten, it can wrinkle the gasket, and they can leak. I just replaced my older system, after it leaked and destroyed my cabinet floor and sidewall. I had to rebuild my kitchen cabinet, with the counters still installed. At that point, I was done with cartridge filters.
I saw the Waterdrop systems referenced in a FB group I was in, so I checked them out. They system is bigger than the impression in the photos. It’s 25 lbs big. But if you think about it, that’s a good thing. More filter surface area inside, longer lasting filters. They twist out and back in, and you don’t even have to turn off the water. Easy peasy. Filters are more expensive, but fixing that cabinet wasn’t either. Water leaks are the greatest enemy of a house owner. Filtration systems come with risks, so spend a little to reduce the risks.
I did purchase a remineralization cartridge, and installed at the same time. It improves the flavor off of straight RO water. SoI didn’t taste the RO water straight out of the filter. Out of the cartridge, after the filter, it’s delicious. TDS of 40, after the cartridge. TDS of supply is about 150.
It’s a powered system, and uses a larger supply tube than typical RO systems. We got back a lot of space by getting rid of the reservoir bottle. I know that some RO systems output is a result of the pressure differential across the membrane. My guess is that the pump inside of the unit boosts that pressure differential to increase the output. Anyway, you may need a multi-plug of some type, and plug it into the dishwasher outlet, along with the dishwasher. Not the disposal, as you keep that one turned off, normally.
For years my wife and I used a Britta on the faucet water filter. They were clunky and in the way and when we decided to replace our kitchen faucet, we wanted something different. We have been looking at whole house filters and other RO water systems with tanks. However we didn’t have the space for a tank under the sink, but we did have just enough room for this tankless RO system. Waterdrop was a brand we haven’t heard of before and this unit was just release a couple of months before we purchased it on Amazon. After comparing the feature and the advantages and disadvantages of the tankless system, we chose the Waterdrop G2 for its ease of use and installation as well as the longevity of it’s 2 cartridges (CF -last 1 year and MRO last 2 years),
The faucet is brushed nickle color that matches brushed stainless pretty good. We had a hard time trying to figure that out so if you wondering, yes the faucet that comes with this unit matches brushed stainless. You can also use your own water faucet too, it just goes in the soap dispenser hole in your sink, or the hose hole if you have a spray hose, or there are direction on how to drill your own.
Pros: Easy to install, Waterdrop has a great video on how to install this unit hosted on Youtube. Great look, awesome tasting water, easy to change cartridge, TANKLESS, and compact size. 1 and 2 year longevity of the replacement cartridges, we bought an extra set to have ready for changing. There is a light that tells you the status of your cartridges and if they are ready to need to change. It is quiet, there is some noise when dispensing water but it really is not loud or annoying.
Cons: Cost, we could buy a lot of Britta cartridges for what we paid for this, but it was a lifestyle choice and we love it. Lack of name recognition for the Water Drop company, is this company going to be around a while or did we just sink $400 in a system we won;’t be able to get replacement cartridges in 10 years down the road? So far so good, they continue to develop their products and they have other larger systems. You will need enough space (see product description) under your sink for the tankless system. You will need an electrical plug to power the unit, it will not work during a power outage, it needs electricity to push the water through the cartridges without a tank. It will waste water back-flushing the system, it’s about a 1:1 gallon ration of waste. It back-flushes to remove the impurities taken out of the water, so that is a given. Back-flushing is automatic. It can be bit slow but not much slower than other filter to dispense water. Don’t expect to use this for anything other than drinking water.
We really love the taste of the water and the convenience this system provides. Before writing this review, my wife and I both spoke about how happy we are that we made the investment in this system. We both have increased our water intake since installing it. We would recommend that you research and consider this system if you are looking for a reverse osmosis system.
Love it, and hope it lasts. My ice machine works with it!!!!!!!
Compact and perfect, water flow is good. The TDS has been up and down with this, measuring 250 sometimes, and down to 50, so I’m not sure, but my tap water is usually around 800 really high, and this is much better for my fish tank. I drink it now instead of bottled water, and honestly it tastes like nothing, it’s very pure water, but it doesn’t have that extra taste of bottled water, probably the minerals is what I’m missing. But that’s ok. there are mineral drops, and inline mineral filters if I really care that much.
I almost did not buy this because I could not find enough information if the ice machine on my fridge would work or not. I have a Samsung refrigerator and it’s new. The tap water pressure was strong and would make a lot of noise filling. I attached this, and the first 24 hours, it produced half as much ice as normal. I was disappointed. But my smart fridge must auto change settings due to the pressure, the low pressure of this system, and it now allows it to fill the ice up all the way for a longer time, and it works perfect. I know I got lucky because this may not work with other refrigerators as well.
