Woder Under Counter Water Filter – Ultra High Capacity Home Water Filtration System – Lead, HM, Chlorine and PFAS Removal - Keeps Essential Minerals US Made (Gen4)

So pleased with the filter. I had no idea you could (or should) filter the entire cold water output of your home's kitchen sink until I found this! This high-volume filter makes it possible, and it makes everything so much easier than using PUR or BRITA pitchers – saving a ton of time over its lifespan...We got the Woder product 4 months ago, and I was able to install it in under an hour. Rather than getting the cheaper Woder unit, we opted for this one instead (with the smart head and easily-replaceable filters) so it would be a breeze to replace them every 1-2 years. When compared with the large PUR dispenser we had previously, this will save *days* of my life every year.Here's the comparison. I figured the PUR dispenser took about 2 minutes of our family's time per day (on average) in dealing with all the filling, cleaning, and filter-replacing. Multiply by 365 and then divide by 60. That's over *12 hours* per year! Saving 12 hours of our lives by not fiddling with the PUR!Compare that to the Woder. It took under 1 hour to install the first time, and done. It will take much less than that when the filter needs a quick screw-in replacement in a couple more years. Not to mention, the overall cost of Woder vs. Pur is roughly the same. It's a no-brainer!Oh, and the level & quality of filtration is excellent, and the taste of the water is fantastic (better than Pur, and for longer). It also means that fresh, clean, filtered water is always accessible with no waiting, even for the kids.The only slight downside is it dropped the flow of the cold water tap slightly, but not a huge deal. We turned down the thermostat on our hot water heater in the basement to 130 degrees, which has had the triple benefit of requiring less cold water from all taps, reducing risk of scalding for the kids, as well as dropping our energy bills. So now we don't use or need to use cold water from the kitchen sink as much as we used to, except for drinking and cooking.Bottom line: Highly recommended, enormous timesaver, and really the best home purchase we've made in a long time.

If the filter even lasts two (2) years vs. the three (3) years advertised - it's a win!We replaced the old sink faucet and sparyer in our kitchen and didn't want to secure our PUR faucet mount filter back onto it. Our water is good, but has an odor - mostly chlorine based. The PUR worked great but would really ugly up the new hardware. Plus we went with a goose neck faucet to get more space under the faucet to wash large pans - we were always hitting the old faucet and the attached filter - activating the PURwhile the hot water was on which is supposed to be a 'no-no'.So I'm reading about this WODER GEN II and it sounds really good. Combined with the sellers 100% money back guarantee - and the fact that it's an AMAZON purchase you've really nothing to worry about if it tanks out. Mounts under the sink - hidden away, no electricity needed, two (2) lines to connect - no drilling, soldering or puncturing your existing lines - I am in.What others have said about the install is true - easy to a fault. The written instructions are lacking - watch the video and make notes on the written sheet and you'll have it squared away. Mounted in about 7-10 minutes including the clean-up. As simple as it gets. Very minor reduction in the cold water flow - 100% acceptable to me for the trade of clean, filtered water with no faucet mounted bulk.Did a blind taste test with my wife when she got home from work. Used the filtered water from our Kitchen Aid refrigerator and the WODER. Her sense of smell and taste are significantly more sensitive than mine - she picked the WODER! It's really that good. Let's hope that we don't run into the loss of flow issues some people report after 3-months (which sounded like a limited issue with a bad batch of filters) - like I said - if we get two (2) years out of it we will be thrilled.Shipping was typical AMAZON PRIME fast - well packed - no frills packaging. Incidentally - funneling the sales exclusively through AMAZON is brilliant. Cheers all the way around. Great product thus far.

Living in L.A., I was using up a Zero water filter for my pitcher every two weeks. After the two weeks, even with refrigeration, the water started getting an aftertaste. That's about $50 every two months. L.A. water is really hard. It leaves a horrible film on the faucets and the sinks. The only thing that will take out that film is a white vinegar solution.This filter takes a few days to kick in. I installed it in my kitchen sink. Easy to install. Unless you're a dunce, there's no need to hire someone to do it. Red the instructions and the graphics carefully. I turned off the hot water, since I never use it. I've compared it side by side to Smart Water (bottled water), and I'd say it's somewhere in between the nasty L.A. water and the Smart Water. Probably a bit closer to the Smart Water, but I still taste a little bit of saltiness, even when refrigerated. It does look clearer and has a smoother texture. It has a minor impact on the water pressure, which I don't mind.Not what I was hoping, but still an improvement. At the very least, cleaning should be easier, and I'm hoping my Zero Water pitcher filters last longer. I'm going to get one of these for my bathroom sink as well. If this filter really lasts three years, I'd say it's a good investment.UPDATE:After a couple of weeks of use, the taste of the water has improved significantly. Is it as good as some bottled waters such as Dasani, or Smart Water? What about sparkling water such as Pellegrino? (I do have a soda stream to carbonate). Does it beat my Zero water pitcher? Don't know, and will have to do a test to be sure. At this point, though, it's good enough to drink, and I will no longer purchase pitcher filters. Upgrading from 3 to 4 stars.
