Waterdrop 17UA-UF Under Sink Water Filter, 3 Years or 24K Gallons, NSF/ANSI 42 Standard, 0.01 Micron Ultra Filtration for Baçtёria Reduction, Reduces Lead, Chlorine

Fits perfectly where the soap dispenser used to be

I like the design, durability, the ease of installation, and the length of time between filter replacement. It is a great value for the money. Thr water is very clear and tastes great.

As Advertised

So I bought this filter because it seemed like a high-flow filter with decent reviews. It came with the needed plumbing parts for installation. And although I wouldn't call it "great-tasting", it did improve the taste of the tap water. That's it for the positives, now the negatives...First, installation was a pain--the filter body is much longer than anticipated. I have a "normal" size sink and cabinet, but to fit the filter (so I could remove/replace it), I had to install the bracket above the bottom of the sink, which was very difficult. Contrary to their claim, the flow was noticeably reduced, but it was tolerable to fill a glass of water (or coffee pot) without getting too frustrated. Honestly, even with these quirks, I still would've been satisfied.However, third, and most important, it is now less than 2 months after install and my cold water flow is more like a leak. As the attached pic shows, my 5 month old grandson has drool that flows faster than the cold water on my sink. The flow is, of course, unchanged for hot water. I tried re-installing the filter (again, what a pain--it is even harder now that the filter is full of water), but that had no effect. And with only the two of us in the house, it has been used a lot less than most family households. Honestly, I am going to have to bypass the filter completely, and go look for a replacement, because there is no way I am buying another filter every 2 months!UPDATE: Their tech support responded to my issue, and asked me to try "reverse flush" the system. This was also more difficult than it had to be, but I got it done, and that seems to have resolved the issue. Raised my review to 3 stars, for now...UPDATE: they ended up sending me a different filter housing and filter (essentially just replaced the product, albeit with a much smaller filter--11K imstead of 30K), which definitely worked a lot better. And when I was ready to replace the filter, then sent 3 more filters, but smaller 6K ones. So at least I am getting 29K of the 30K I originally purchased. I am raising my review to 4 stars, mostly based on the polite and responsive tech support.

good product, Also good water flow.

I had this 3 year water filter installed for a year and it had been working great for the first year and a half. It had great water flow, water tasted great, easy to install, no complaints. Until.. I heard a crash in my kitchen today and came in to discover that the plastic housing on the filter had sheared off completely and water going everywhere. Thankfully I managed to shut the water off before it did too much damage but if I had not been home it would have been so, so much worse. They need to upgrade/reinforce the plastic on the 3-year filter simply due to the weight of the water and having it hang there for such a long period of time. That may cut it on the one year filter but anything beyond that (since I did not make it to 2 years) is obviously needing reevaluation (and based what I've seen on the other reviews). Even though I'm tempted to buy a replacement filter, I'm not sure I can get the sheared piece out of where it attaches so I'm researching from square one again 😒.
