Plastic parts don't last forever

This unit makes some great tasting water.
Ive used one of these for over ten years and as far as the water goes I have no complaints.
I split it between my sinks drinking water and the ice maker in the refrigerator.

The only problem is the fittings for the copper tubing crack after years of use.
I keep my unit in the laundry room mounted on a wall in my basement under the kitchen. So one day we noticed they filter was dripping water. (This is better than actually putting it under the sink because its easier to change the filters)

I examined the unit and saw two of the fittings had stress cracks and one was leaking.
I replaced both of them with copper fittings (something like $4 for the two fittings).
Now were back in business.

Easy install undersink system

On: 2009-10-23

After several years of using pitcher based cartridges that are a fumble to work with, technically marginal in offering only minor purification and fairly costly in the long run, we decided to buy a more robust system. This unit is much better at removing nasties from the water - although our city water is reasonably pure to begin with. This under-sink system is more cost effective and far more convenient without the overflow bits of charcoal that tend to escape from more primitive filters. The installation took about 15 minutes ad was straightforward. The longest part of preparing however was finding one critical piece. The system ships with a T fixture to join with the under-sink cold water line that did not match our plumbing. Go to a plumbing supply company rather than the corner hardware store for this item if you need it. The flow is great. Having it on the sink means that we can more easily use this for all cooking as well as the quick refreshing drink.
