APEX MR-1030 Countertop Water Filter, 3 Stage GAC Calcite KDF-55 Water Filter for Sink, Easy Install Faucet Water Filter - Reduces Heavy Metals, Bad Taste and Up to 99% of Chlorine (Clear)

Been using it for a few months now, Here's the basics:-MADE IN USA. Support American workers and companies.-takes up no more room than a bottle of dish soap, perfect for on-demand filtered water-Ability to switch between filtered/unfiltered fight on the faucet is a huge plus-No issues with filter mold or other discolorations-No leaks due to manufacturing defect-The taste isn't as good as it was the first week or two of use, but is still significantly better than without filter.-The faucet attachment was somewhat confusing to install because of the array of different attachments, however it allows for a bunch of different faucet types and once I found the combination that works I've had no problems. I had to try out a few combos to see what provided the best fit.-Filter sat unused for two weeks while out of town; no issues with mold or fungus or anything during this timeSome general tips:-If your unit leaks at the base of the filter's neck, (pictured) this is just a press fit with two o-rings. push the neck back down and it should be fine. Mine became loose after I got it caught on the edge of the Keurig tank when filling it.-try out a couple different gaskets and adapters- there were a few that worked for my faucet but some of the gaskets were too thick and didn't allow adapters to tighten all completely.-If your valve attachment leaks between the smooth part and the knurled part- remove it from the faucet and tighten the hex screw inside as it may just be loose. I bumped the faucet attachment hard enough to rotate it one night doing dishes and it began leaking. The attachment also became wobbly. Thinking I broke it, I removed it from the faucet to investigate and I and noticed there is a hex screw inside the valve. Once I tightened everything worked as it should.Overall, I am very happy with this product. We use it every day. Our city water both smelled and tasted horribly of chemicals. The water also made us feel sick. As soon as we began using this filter- no more feeling sick, we can no longer smell the chemicals coming from the faucet, and the taste is improved. There is also significantly less mineral buildup in our Keurig tank, which we fill with this filter. Any maintenance issues are very straightforward and easy to troubleshoot. I have yet to change the filter so will update this review as I get to that point. I haven't been able to get the bubbles out of the filter housing, but they dont seem to affect anything.

This is wonderful. It installs easily, the water tastes great, extremely clean as well as extra minerals. The water flow is fantastic and you can fill coffee pots and containers quickly! Best counter top filter I have ever owned and I have owned several. Read many, many reviews of all of the latest ones on multiple sites and this one was the best well rounded, flow, extraordinary cleanine filters and more.

I installed this filter where a water supply was installed for a fridge, it works great, there is no flavor in the water which I find excellent. The installation was easy because like I said the tubing was already there. I used another valve to connect the tubing and the filter. No leaks or anything bad from it.

I would give this filter 5 stars if all of the chemicals it deletes were made more clear. As it is, the filter was SO easy and quick to install, and the water is clear (out of our pump it's orange). The water tastes great too!

Best water filter I have ever purchased and I have purchased quite a few works great and reasonably priced doesn’t take up much room on your kitchen counter and it looks great

I would purchase this again. The initial few quarts is a bit sweet for my taste, but since then I've really enjoyed the water. Used this to filter chlorine taste in a rental unit we use weekly. Very easy to install - the hose is a bit awkward, but what do I want for an add-on unit?!

We installed the filter to our Kitchen Sink. The system states "BE SURE TO RUN ONLY COLD WATER THROUGH THE UNIT." This is a huge problem since the included Diverter Valve will not turn off completely. If I set it to output to the faucet then the water filter will come out at 10% power maybe. If I set it to output to the water filter then the power will increase to 97-99%. I called the number for questions and concerns, and it rang like a regular phone ,not a business line, and then stated "beep beep beep memory full". I have been trying to find a replacement valve with no luck. P.S. don't throw your already installed faucet aerator away before testing the new setup and system... Live and learn i guess...

After reading the negative reviews on the water filter brand i have used for 4 years and the price increase, i chose this one. Have had it a couple of weeks and so far it works good and the water taste good too. It was easy to install. Will update when i have to change the filter.
