Express Water RO5DX Reverse Osmosis Filtration NSF Certified 5 Stage RO System with Faucet and Tank – Under Sink Water Plus 4 Filters – 50 GPD, 14 x 15 x 5, White

Currently, there is a pandemic, so it is hard to find bottles of water. Now that I am out of a job, I decided to buy the water system to give myself a new job. Please note As a replacement for tap water, I tried drinking it but it tasted so awful that I punched myself in the nuts and I ordered this system the following day. In order to prevent chlamydia infection from the box, I had to sterilize it when it was delivered My day at the races began when I received a message from the outside world. This software installation was a real pain in the The first thing I need is an extra hole for the new tap in my stainless steel sink. To drill stainless steel, I did not have a 1/2 inch drill bit. As a result, I used a hammer and a screw driver to bust the hole. A sharp pain in my earholes. The sound of beating the screwdriver through the sink was so loud. There is a good chance my cats peed all over the house because it was so loud. In the end, I used a metal file to clean out the hole that had been formed by cat pee, when I had cleaned up all the cat pee in the sink. While consuming copious amounts of alcohol, I watched the installation video on the internet as best I could. I turned on the water to the system after I watched the video. It was time for me to build an ark, Mother of Christ! I leak, leak, and leak some more. There was so much water spraying out of every hose, you would have thought the damn Hoover Dam just burst. The rest of the day was spent mopping my kitchen and finishing a bottle of vodka before passing out in morning, I was sober when I fixed the leaks and at that point I waited for the stupid tank to fill up so I could purge the entire The whole damn day was spent on it. In the following days, I would empty it one last time for the final time and wait for the system to fill before tasting the results I enjoyed the taste of the water. After all the alcohol I consumed installing this system, I was in serious need of it. The book was recommended to me. However, you should do it in sobriety. Kudos to you.

I'm giving it a 5 star rating because the unit is as good as it gets for its price. Obviously, if you pay more you can have more expensive fixtures, etc. , but it isn't necessary unless you'll be moving the furniture constantly and assembling and disassembling it frequently. This is my third unit for the house, one for the downstairs kitchen, and one for upstairs as well. The 12-amp unit is being replaced by this one System is over a year old and has never caused a problem, except for two weeks ago when a leak occurred in the UV. It would have been fine to replace just the UV, but hey it's time for a complete rebuild. As far as I'm concerned, complaints about a lack of clarity in the instructions are unfounded. In replacing an older system (of a different brand), there were no parts from the old system that would fit into the new one Other than the metal fitting on the cold water pipe, all other fittings could be reused except for the compression fitting for the water line. There was only one problem with the instructions there was no information about the slightly upgraded output faucet, but it was easy to figure out how to replace it. There is only one caution, as already mentioned by others, which is to make sure to seat the tubes fully in It's clearly explained in the manual and on youtube, but I was still able to have a leak afterward, which was confusing since I had already mounted the unit to the cabinet wall, and this meant that the unit was now saturated with water and fairly It will feel good when you are within 3/8 of an inch of the fitting when you have pushed that tubes in hard. The pros of the new unit over the old one are 1 *br It is really nice that they prepared this for me I already assembled the filter portion for you, so that saves you probably 45 minutes. 3.
An easy to read color diagram of the tubing makes assembly and troubleshooting a breeze. The third part. The faucet of this unit has twice the water volume compared to other models, so you can fill a coffee pot more easily. The fourth paragraph. There is an extra set of filters included

Cons vs the 1 *br UV sanitizer is not included in the package despite the fact that twice they point out that it is needed if there is any risk of microbial contamination. The water that you use from the city may not need the filters, but those of us who live in the country might 3.
There has not been a single complaint about the purchased unit. This is a good product. The kit I assembled on my own even though I am almost 75 years old. It is hard for me to crouch for any length of time and sometimes I can't remember how to get back up from underneath the sink. I am blind in one eye, a bit senile, and cannot stand for very long. My time spent on the project probably took twice as long as most people, but the result was worth the effort. Under the sink, I like the color coded tubing it is easy to see where things go and where they come from. Please consider these suggestions for an easier assembly process 1 *br You need to install the faucet first, with the tubing left in its full length*2. 3. Connect the cold water line from the cold water tank, extending the tubing to its full length. The tank should be installed, with the tubing running the full length of the tank. As the junction of the drainage tube and the sink drainpipe is near the front, it is advisable to cut the drainage tube to length before installing. This is 5. Set up the connections in front of the cabinet and place a large rectangular dish pan in front of it. This will let you turn on the unit and check for leaks before it is hung Therefore, you will be able to see any leaks and fix them without creating.

I would like to say a few words of Due to the fact that I have not used this system, I haven't been able to comment on its performance. In the end, I decided not to install this system due to what I read in the manual upon receipt. I imagine this maintenance involves a great deal of work and is quite time consuming. Other than that, there is an RO filter from Pelican brand in my house that requires only periodic replacement of two different filter cartridges (and flushing to ensure the system is fully functional). As part of its maintenance, the Express Water system requires periodic cleaning in addition to cleaning all its filters. This process involves taking the entire system apart and cleaning all its internal components with soap and water, and then running disinfectant through them all. (I'm not sure what type of disinfectant I should use There is no information in the manual. 1) It sounded difficult, and I doubt that I could physically reach the cramped space where it would have been installed to do this kind of cleaning. Another issue is that there doesn't seem to be any specific information about whether or not the filters need to be replaced, or what replacement filters the company sells for It is neither stated in the manual nor on the company website. The information concerning the frequency of replacing the membrane is vague (“usually every one to two years” A period of two years"). Although the Pelican RO filter is more expensive than Express Water, which is what precluded me from ordering, I think I would rather avoid complex maintenance routines. Additionally, Pelican is much simpler to install, since most parts are integrated in one unit instead of being separated into several

To be fair, it might be an excellent RO filter when it is working, but before you purchase, you might want to read the manual to find out if it is the right one tried to download the manuals from the company's website before purchase, but they don't seem to be readily available perhaps you could request one.
