Malida diverter valve for counter top Water Filters Faucet Adapter, 1/2 inch female thread with push on 1/4 inch tubing.

Fit and Works Perfect , it is a Replacement for the Original that Came with the Water Filter .

This diverter had all the features I was looking for: all metal construction, lever switch, correct size, good price, so I decided to order it in spite of the singular bad review it had. I'm guessing they either forgot to use the o-ring to seal it to the faucet, or ordered the wrong part, because mine is exactly what I needed to attach my countertop water filter (with 1/4" tubing) to my standard kitchen faucet. It works perfectly, seems good quality, and I can't forsee it giving out any time soon. It doesn't come with tubing, I just cut the end off the old tube and reconnected it. No tools strictly necessary, but I did use pliers to tighten down the nut over the tubing connection, to prevent leaks.

KANGEN MACHINE COMPADIBLE. Be sure to get one of those "hose clamp"s to secure it to the fitting.

Good quality. Mostly metal except for the aerator section which is chrome colored plastic. The washers that came with it were not compatible (thickness) with my particular faucet so you may need an assortment on hand to achieve the required seal to prevent blow by. Initially, I had a difficult time breaking loose the lever mechanism without feeling like I was going to break it. Like it was seized into place. Some hot water helped. After having this installed for a month+, the only complaint I have is that every now and then when I bump the lever while doing dishes, the lever arm comes loose. It doesn't take much in the way of force, either. To tighten, remove the decorative cap on the lever and tighten down the small phillips head screw. Would I buy this again? Yes. Edit (Sept 26,2024) It's been 6+ yrs and still going strong. Decided to update with a time saving hack. Should the handle/lever loosen due to a bump/jarring - make sure water is off, grab lever near pivot point (where screw is located), push inward (slight pressure... no need to go godzilla) while working lever back and forth (open and closed positions) several times. This should tighten screw adequately. This little hack has served me well for 5+ yrs and still haven't had to touch a screw driver to it.

This replacement for what came with the water filter I purchased is actually an improvement over the original and gives you a better water flow when not using the water filter. I also got about 10 feet of new hose (made for water and food) from my local hardware store (just to start with everything clean) and it went on the connections at both ends VERY easily. I’m NOT at all very “mechanically-oriented”, so this had to be “drop dead” easy for ME to make it work! I may just get a new one with every replacement water filter cartridge to have EVERYTHING clean (since I’ve got plenty of new, clean hose left over as well), but we’ll have to see when the time comes. It may be possible to adequately clean this diverter, but our water is really bad for leaving deposits behind and also tiny pieces of rock.

I have gone through two diverters with the little pull knob, not sure what happens but after about a year they just break internally. This diverter is solidly built, nothing feels cheap or plasticky. It's easy to install, allows the water to flow freely when in normal mode which is a nice change over the other systems which often backed up the water a forced it to leak out the base of the faucet. The Malida is a bit large but the lever is easy to grip and move when you want to divert the water to your other water system. Overall its a solid product and would recommend it over any of the pull knob systems.

Worked great for the first week then diverter valve lever loosened up (with no way of tightening it) and fell appart in about 10 days of use.

Arrived in good condition, cable for money did not leak came with all adapters needed. Fit perfectly

High quality construction. Only problem is that the lower aerator section leaks and sprays water. I used the aerator from the old valve and all is good. Perhaps a thicker rubber gasket would work too.

works good for now time will tell
