Frizzlife Under Sink Water Filter System-NSF/ANSI 53&42 Certified High Capacity Direct Connect Under Counter Drinking Water Filtration System-0.5 Micron Reduces Lead, Chlorine, Bad Taste & Odor

I have looked a long time for a SMALL filtration unit that will fit under my kitchen sink that attaches directly to the waterline and does not require the install of an additional little water faucet. This one works perfectly !!It came with EVERYTHING needed to install, including written instructions with pictures and plumber's tape. It was more difficult to determine where under my sink to install it, than it actually was to install. The considerations you have on installation is that the unit hangs from a bracket that hooks on to the top of the filter. To replace the filter, you need to swing the base slightly towards you and turn it and pull hard to separate the filter casing from the top. I didn't want to permanently install it until I knew how it worked, so I just left my unit sit upright in the cabinet resting against the drainpipes. This seems to work just fine. It doesn't move or vibrate when I turn on the water. The flow lines provided are long enough that I can pull the whole thing out of cabinet to change the filter. I may install the bracket at some later time.The other thing I was VERY concerned about was the water flow/pressure after the filter was installed. I am EXTREMELY happy with this. I do not notice any discernible change in the cold water pressure with the filter installed.I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida and our water is very hard and has a chlorine taste. In my opinion, it is totally undrinkable, so we have been spending a fortune on bottled water. My husband alone drinks about 5 bottles a day, so not only are we creating a huge amount of plastic waste, we have a pretty large water expense. I am VERY pleased with the taste of the water now that I have installed the filter. It is even better than bottled water ! I especially like that the filter for this unit lasts up to 18 months ! So, although it is a little pricey because it is not just a carbon or paper filter, it is much cheaper than buying bottled water.

It lasted 5 yrs. Developed a hairline Crack. I just ordered another one, bit the FK model. It works pretty well, you can tell the difference. You can definitely see the difference when you change your filter.

Filters out Hexavalent Chromium and I still get a good flow. It’s a little challenging to change out - from under the sink every six months - but I can eventually twist it loose.

Easy to install; took about 30 minutes. It natively fits a 3/8" valve and comes with an adapter for 1/2"The tubes are a bit long and inflexible, so getting those into a position that would work well was the most difficult part.The filtration works really well. The water has no taste now, and it's a bit weird. But that means it works

I bought two of these for my house, and I enjoyed them so much I got one for my dad.Now my kids will finally drink the water at Grandpa's house.

We put this under the sink in the kitchen, we love it. The water for coffee so much better. Took about a hour to put it on.Would buy again

Pipe sizes in the U.S. are not always the same as those in other countries.I had to hire a plumber to install a special adapter just to connect the filter.So please make sure to check the measurements of both your pipes and the filter in advance.This way, you can prepare ahead of time and get the necessary adapters.That said, I’m very happy with the filter – you can definitely taste the difference in the water.Let’s see how well it holds up in the long run.

I've had this filter for 6+ months now and felt like it was time to put in a review. First things first, you should never trust a review from someone who just installed a consumable system like a water filter, as it will typically perform very well initially and issues arise down the line. Let's start with the good here:It's inexpensive for the advertised flow rate - this is one of the only filters on the market that advertises over 2gpm, and it is capable of reaching that with a brand new filter. However, at least with our water source (New York City), that performance degrades SUBSTANTIALLY after a few weeks, to the point where it gets down to a trickle. Frizzlife stood behind their product and sent a second filter, but the same thing happened again within a few weeks so it seems our water's particular composition and this type of filter media don't play nicely together. I solved for this by installing a pressurized water tank in line after the filter stage, more commonly used with Reverse Osmosis systems (but works perfectly here as well) so that the first quarter gallon is full speed ahead even with the water supply shut totally off (and the tank refills as it dispenses) - this has resolved my flow rate issues permanently.Good quality metal hoses are included, but unfortunately that's more of a problem for me because my existing water filter connection requires push to connect plastic fittings. I fashioned an adapter from a 3/8 NPT to 1/4" push-to-connect after the tank stage to address this, but it would be nice if they included a few adapters in the box because they're surprisingly hard to find but cost next to nothing.It's definitely doing something! Take a look at the picture above, about 5 months after the filter was installed it's absolutely disgusting looking with the color of a cigarette filter. This will not lower your TDS reading, and they're very clear about that, but the drinking water it produces tastes good and clearly lacks the nasty stuff it's pulled out above.Now, let's talk about the bad parts:This is only a direct connection if you have the rare filtered water spout that accepts a 3/8" NPT or 1/2" NPT connection, as these are the only connectors and adapters provided. If you look at any of the most popular filtered water faucets sold on Amazon, the vast majority use 1/4" quick connect push-to-fit connections. Whether or not you think there are long term reliability issues with such connections, that is what most people already have in place, meaning you're headed to the hardware store to try to rig together some kind of adapter, which is likely to have more leak potential than a direct connection. They should at least include adapters they've tested and endorse in the package to avoid this.Removing the filter assembly from the bracket is super easy, it rotates out and twists off - anyone can do this. However, you haven't changed your filter at that point... this is not a drop in replacement - they sell the inner filter medium by itself, and include a special plastic wrench for opening the filter assembly housing to replace the medium. This works great when it's new, but when I went to change filters (see above) it would not budge under any circumstances - I put it in a vice and used a mallet to the point that the plastic wrench started to strip. I ended up having to buy a set of oil filter pliers to counterhold and twist, and finally was able to open it, but this is exponentially more difficult and time consuming than a system like 3m Filterete where the replacement filters come ready to screw in. I get that it saves plastic and likely benefits the environment, but man, their implementation is not up to the task.Tl;dr?Good performance for the money but changing filters sucks and it doesn't come with what you need to connect to the vast majority of filtered water faucets, ice maker lines and other things you might need filtered water for. I wouldn't buy it again but I'm also not going out of my way to replace it now that it's plumbed in.
