Great product in terms of function and quality but I haven’t been using this product more than 1 month and H5 error occurs now every day multiple times. That indicates filtering problem
Only had a couple of days but very very happy and well impressed. Water taste lovely clean and fresh and crisp. Was all up and running and brewing my first cup of tea within 20 minutes after flushing unit I did it five times.
We just bought this yesterday so in a long term I dont know if it will last or if it will give us issues but the water tastes lovely (dont forget to make the first usage flush) also the big filter is a bit tricky to insert properly but once all is done, is a very good product. My water for the green tea will finally have the right 75degrees as it is recommended. Is also very quiet ! Love it !
I’ve had the Frizzlife WB99-H Countertop Reverse Osmosis System for 3 weeks.
Pros:
* Because of the high value, Amazon provide a security code to be given to the delivery driver in person.
* Very well packed in a strong transit box.
* The product seems to be of very good quality.
* Easy to fit the water containers and filters.
* Frizzlife also provide a tank cover to prevent green algae growth if machine is placed in direct sunlight.
* The water tastes really good. Just what I was expecting and hoping for.
* It is quite easy to use. There are 3 set temperatures, but you can also have ambient or select any temperature between 45c and 100c if you want by tapping “+” or “-“.
* There are 3 set quantities, but there is a continuous discharge / stop option too.
* The last settings set remain the next time the machine is used unless the power has been switched off.
* If you do not like the taste of alkaline from the smaller (SC) filter, there is a non-alkaline version available.
* The water pitcher is a nice touch and useful to take a quantity to the table or even to fill a kettle if you have to make drinks for a large number of people.
* The pitcher is quite slow to fill, but the dispensed flow of water (taken from the pitcher) is reasonably quick, even when heated.
* It only makes a sound when the pump to filter water or dispense it comes on, but that’s quite quiet.
Cons:
* Frizzlife only guarantee the product for 12 months. I am surprised it is so short for a high end product and that it doesn’t offer an extended warranty with an online registration.
* Not truly plug & play as stated in product video. On first use (or when filters are replaced) the system needs flushing by filtering 3 to 5 full tanks of water. Each tank cycle takes around 20 minutes — so at least an hour to complete.
* The water pitcher is a bit big to easily put in my fridge for chilled water. I think it will be fine for a large modern or American style fridge.
* UV sanitation only applies when water is dispensed directly at less than 60c.
* You cannot permanently disable the child lock safety feature (if you don’t have children you could do without it).
* If you have trouble lifting a normal kettle of water, then this may not be for you. The water tank cannot be topped up when it gets low, like some other products, because waste water is produced that has to be tipped out and the tank refilled from the tap before fitting it back.
* It can sometimes be difficult to lift the tank off the machine.
Observations:
* Do read the owner’s manual in full before first using the product.
* A full pitcher holds 1.4 litres and automatically fills from the bottom.
* If the feed tank requires refilling, The machine will continue to dispense water until the pitcher is about 0.25 litres full.
* The water tank holds 4.5 litres of water, but a bit over 1 litre of waste water is produced to be tipped away, so true capacity is approximately 3 litres. This equates to around 12 cups of 250ml and for two in the household we have to refill the water tank once and sometimes twice a day. However, if the water is in the feed tank for more than 48 hours, the change tank water indicator will come on anyway.
* 4.5 litres of water is about 1 gallon and Frizzlife claim the main reverse osmosis filter is rated at 900 to 1000 gallons / 1 year service life, dependent on original water quality and the smaller filter should last around 3 months.
* At the time of writing this, the main filter and a pack of 3 of the small filter costs 161 from Amazon, an average 13.40 a month over 12 months. However, you do get 1 of each filter with a new machine.
* The machine displays a TDS ppm result post filtration. TDS is total dissolved solids and ppm is parts per million, and represents the total concentration of dissolved substances in water. TDS is made up of inorganic salts, as well as a small amount of organic matter.
* Apparently, tap water can range between 150 to 400 TDS ppm. My unit displays filtered readings of mostly between 10 and 18 TDS ppm and occasionally as low as 2 and as high as 33 TDS ppm. The higher readings tend to appear when the feed tank is nearly empty. I think this is because of the higher concentration of waste water. I have not independently verified how accurate the readings are.
* Frizzlife advise that the main reverse osmosis filter gets rid of 99.99% of 1000+ contaminants, including chlorine, lead, heavy metals, fluoride, mercury, volatile organic compounds, chloramine (derivatives of ammonia and organic amines), arsenic and much more.
I think this is a great product and I recommend it based on the short time I’ve had it.
I bought one just this week from amazon uk after reading about contaminated water supply in Devon last week. I watched the youtube video as recommended in the instructions. The first time, I thought the long filter clicked in but no-water came out. Its subtle. You will know the filter is properly in only when the water starts trickling into the pitcher. Initially, I struggled to remove the water tank. You have to be very very gentle and try and lift it up otherwise you will break the anchor at the back ! The cover for the filters is NOT MAGNETIC. It has slots to fit into and doesn’t snuggly fit. Its fiddly. The sticker on the top asks you to flush the filter 3-5 times when first installed. Read the booklet to know how to do it. The water tastes okay but needs frequent changing of the tank by the looks of it. I wish the tank was in the front as well so you dont have to turn the machine every time you need to change tank water.. I will update this as I go..
Water has to be changed too often.Water tank is quite difficult to remove.
When dispensing water it splashes around. There should be an adjustable height for different types of cups and glasses.
Pros:
–I’m truly impressed by the machine’s beautiful design, and it does not take up too much space on my table.
–One of the major factors that drove me to purchase this was its instant heating function. I now use it to brew my coffee every morning and I absolutely love the smooth taste it delivers.
–The inclusion of UV light is unquestionably a bonus; it provides an extra layer of protection to my RO water.
–The front pitcher is portable and I can grab it anywhere! I also plan to buy an extra pitcher, so I can have one in the fridge and one still on the system to dispense water.
–I can hardly hear the noise when it is working. It is SUPER QUIET.
–My tap water is hard and contains a lot of limescale. Obviously it removes the lime from my water.
Cons (Now I realise it is my fault lol)
–Initially I failed to install the SC alkaline cartridge properly, I did not get any filtered water in the pitcher as a result. So please make sure the SC square cartridge is pushed all the way in. You will hear a soft click sound.
Here are a few tips that you may need to know:
1. Always empty the remaining water in the feed tank first before filling.
2. You can choose specific temp by tapping “+” and “-“. Not only 3 temp modes
