iSpring RCC1UP-AK 100GPD Under Sink 7-Stage Reverse Osmosis RO Drinking Filtration System and Ultimate Water Softener with Alkaline Remineralization, Booster Pump and UV Ultraviolet Filter

The installation went smoothly and took a little longer than anticipated, but I had never done anything like it before. There was one minor hiccup, which was caused by a missing Feed Water Valve, which was quickly replaced by tech support. I'm now waiting to contact tech support for what appears to be a non-emergency situation. UVC is in use. There appear to be two indicator lights on the ballast to let you know if the UVC-light is on or off. When there is water flowing through the ballast, it is operational. However, none of the indicator lights have ever turned on while water was flowing. Before you attempt to install this product on your own, consider the following suggestions.
1. To ensure a proper fit, take note of the following dimensions: Dimensions of the system: 5w x 7d x 19hbr>2. Dimensions: 5w x 7d x 19hbr>1. Dimensions: 5w Read the directions again and again (I actually looked up and downloaded a PDF version before arriving)br>3. Watch the suggested YouTube videos and, if at all possible, have them ready to watch while you're installing. After watching the videos at least a couple of times, any confusion that some people might have had with the written instructions should be gone.
4. Make sure all of the parts are in place by laying them out. The system comes almost completely assembled, and the pictures of the parts are helpful, but I would prefer an actual listing to go with the pictures. Despite this, the pictures almost exactly depict what is present (spares specify that they vary).
5. Make a decision about where your RO system, including the tank, will go. Fortunately, I had enough room and was able to build a structure to hold the system in place while also allowing me to remove the filters or the entire system (leaving the tank) at once.
6. If you're going to connect directly to a water cooler or refrigerator, there's no need to connect the RO faucet. I went ahead and did it. Keep in mind that you'll need to flush the system before using it for the first time, so keep the line that will dispense the clean water (RO water) handy, along with at least one valve to control the water flow.
7. It's possible that you'll need to turn on the pump to bleed the line for the first time. I did. It's not supposed to be turned on, according to the instructions. However, nothing came out, and when I turned on the pump, water began to trickle out slowly. Before proceeding with the System Startup steps, I let mine sit for at least 30 minutes. I was a little worried at first, but once the tank was connected, the flow became more manageable. (We apologize for the lack of flow rate meters. ) br>br>The following were my TDS Monitor readings: br>Enter the following information: RO output: 315 to 317br> 15 to 17. This is the TDS Monitor that I'm using: br>br> HM Digital DM DM DM DM DM DM DM DM 1 In- If I had to do it all over again, I'd choose the iSpring RCS5T 500 GPD Commercial Grade (This unit does not come with a tank, but it does come with the frame. ) That would have saved me a lot of time, which I highly value.

This system appears to be excellent after only 8 hours of use. The scenario is as follows: br>br> I recently relocated to my dream home in the Texas Hill Country, which is situated on acreage. We have a softener system and use well water. My under-counter ice maker, from which I typically get a 5-pound bag of ice. With the poor quality water at the new house, a gallon bucket of ice per day was producing only a gallon or two of ice. After doing some research, I discovered that these ice machines require a larger volume of water and a higher pressure than most RO systems can provide; after comparing different systems, I determined that this one would meet my needs at a reasonable price. br>br>The disadvantage: I am a highly skilled Craftsman with a strong mechanical bent. I didn't keep track of how long the installation took, but it was probably an hour or two. The system isn't overly complicated, but the one that arrived was not the same as the instructions or the YouTube video. The YouTube video was certainly informative, but it also had a lot of flaws. If you can't figure out how to reverse engineer what the guy in the video is doing and apply it to your own unique setup that may differ from his, I believe this will be extremely difficult to set up. When referring to various filters, the words he used did not match the wording on the filters. The connection at the storage tank kept leaking, which was even more of a problem. After at least five attempts at threading the valve onto the tank only to have it slowly leak when I charged the system, I finally gave up and used some professional grade Blue Monster Teflon tape that I had on hand, and the problem was solved on the first try. br>br>On the plus side, the system appears to perform admirably in terms of producing larger volumes of water and higher pressures. The quick connect fittings are simple to operate. Because the system came with extra parts, the few small fitting pieces that were either missing from the unit or that I misplaced during installation were not a big deal. While the unit is a little disorganized, there is a lot of information packed into a small space. It may seem excessive for a sink, but mine is conveniently located behind the ice machine in the utility room. br>br>The future: I'm not confident in the quantity of plastic tubes and small fittings. As far as I can tell, this is unavoidable, so it doesn't detract from the five stars that I believe this product truly deserves. A solenoid-controlled, normally closed valve will be installed on the incoming water line. I'll hook up a switch to my home automation system so I can turn it off from anywhere. In addition, I'm going to install a series of moisture sensors beneath the unit and set up a basic ITTT (if this, then that) sequence to turn off the water to this system within 5 seconds of moisture detection. Furthermore, by using a normally closed valve that requires electrical current to remain open, the valve will automatically close in the event of a power outage, ensuring that my home remains safe. With this level of protection, the only water that could flood my house is what is stored in the system's reservoir tank. Final thoughts: br>br> I bought this unit to help my struggling ice machine, and 8 hours later, the same ice machine has almost filled its reservoir with crystal clear ice, proving that the RO unit is doing its job perfectly! The ice machine is actually producing better-looking ice and doing so more quickly than it was when we were using city water. I'm glad this unit was available for purchase, and I have no reason to doubt that it will perform admirably. If my viewpoint changes, I will update this review.

We had a different brand come out and quote us $1300 for a much more basic model, but the RO system is great and a great price. This is a system that I really like. Having said that, I had a few issues with the directions, which were extremely difficult to understand, but I was able to resolve them thanks to a YouTube video. The one they send you to watch isn't for this model, which has a few more features, but it's fairly straightforward. I also overlooked the fact that this type of device requires electricity. That's entirely my fault; I assumed the garbage disposal had an outlet below it. Because there isn't one, I'll have to hire someone to install one for me. Because the pressure in my well is so low, I needed the booster pump. It does, however, work perfectly. All I have to do now is open the cabinet beneath my sink and plug it into the outlet above it. There are a lot of cords. For the time being, it works. Because the tank is so large, I only have to plug it in once or twice a week to allow it to fill before unplugging it.
