Frizzlife Under Sink Water Filter-NSF/ANSI 53&42 Certified Drinking Water Filtration System-0.5 Micron Removes Lead, Chlorine,Bad Taste & Odor, W/Dedicated Faucet

Excellent filter unit. Simplicity of installation of course is going to vary on your location and how fit your back is. I purchased two of these. One for my indoor refridgerator and the other for my garage refridgerator with the purpose of filtering the ice and water dispensers on both. The garage filter was super easy to install as I had lots of room to work. Zero leaks on completion. I installed the filter for my kitchen fridge inside my food pantry as installation behind the fridge would make the fridge stand out another 6" from the wall and take up more space. It was very easy to for me (not my back) to drill two 3/8" holes in the wall, run the 1/4" nylon tubes and connect them to the filter, again, zero leaks. Frizzlife is very generous with the amount of tubing they provide as well as the various brass fittings to adapt to your particular install-my only peeve was that they only give you one 90 degree brass attachment to use on either the source or filtered side of the filter,two would have been ideal. I don't get the leak issues people have . Use the teflon tape provided. Make sure you tighten your fittings snugly. Slowly turn on your water after installation. Check for leaks. See a leak, simply tighten your connections a little more. I like the idea that the filter lasts two years. I plane on changing them out every year as well as the internal fridge filters which I've been changing every six months. I did not have an issue with smells from my water or taste. Mainly issues with my ice makers. Hopefully using a prefilter ahead of the fridge filter keeps the ice maker "happier" and not making me constantly change out expensive fridge filters. Btw, I also have a Frizzlife water filtration system under my sink that works amazing as well. Highly recommend this company for their prices and quality of their products.

My brand new 9-month-old LG refrigerator sprung a leak at the water dispenser immediately after changing the factory OEM water filter on it, after a lengthy exchange with a factory rep, he told me that the water pressure was too low, and that I would have to call either a plumber, or a technician to find out where the problem lied, I checked the water pressure to the refrigerator, it was 70#, and discovered when I removed the OEM water filter, the leak stopped, so, I gambled and determined that I would try this inline filter, and mounted it under the kitchen sink, and hooked it directly into the water supply line running to the refrigerator, and as another poster did on this same filter, I made several modifications when I mounted this filter, including using braided tubing on both ends of the filter, along with the installation of a tee, and a shut-off valve in order to flush the filter, the price of these filters is less than half of the standard OEM filters that the refrigerator calls for, and lasts 4 times longer, not to mention, they filter out more impurities, the ice is crystal clear, the dispenser water tastes exceptionally well, the only thing that I might take exception to is, being practically an octogenarian, with a plethora of health issues, it took a lot longer to install than it would have had I been 30 years younger, having said that, I'm very pleased with this purchase, and happy that it was simple to install, water flow is good, no leaks, and water tastes great, if you're like me, and prefer to save money, I highly recommend this filter.

Frizzlife Part Number MP99 Believe it or not, I went through four (4) different below $100 undersink filters. NEVER by a GE-branded filter in this class. They are poorly designed, will eventually leak, and are unforgiving wen installing. I know because when my ld GE filter failed, I ordered an new GE filter and it was crap. I am not a rookie at home plumbing or water filter installation. The Frizzlife filter reviewed hear (undersink with separate faucet) was a breeze to install and can be easily disassembled if after installation you want to change or clean up the routing of the pipes or the placement of the filter body. NOTE: If you have an older home that has a supply line that ends in the common 1/2" copper pipe threads, you will need an adapter because this system attaches to what are called '3/8" compression threads' (despite the fact that the connection is not a compression connection). This is common these days. Search for "Frizzlife Brass NPT Thread Pipe Fitting Converter - 1/2 to 3/8 inch" on Amazon if you need the adapter. You can also buy an adapter suitable for potable water at Lowes or Home Depot, but you have to know walking in exactly what you need. Either way, an adapter will cost you between $6 and $8 extra. This filter kit cam e well packaged, and all of the components appear to be quality components. One handy feature is that they supply a valve in the line going to the faucet for the filtered water. If for some reason you want to remove the filer or have a leak down that branch, you can just close the valve. All of the plastic hoses are retained by clips. If you remove those clips, you can take the hose out of the coupling and shorten or reroute it. The faucet itself is nicely made, looks good and functions well. We like having the separate faucet because our water quality is good enough that we only need filtered water for cooking and consumption. If I am washing my hand for ten minutes after doing auto repair, I don't need to use up the filter life for that. Filters are expensive, especially for some companies, but Frizzlife filter are less expensive and last a long time. So, this water filter update in my kitchen sink was something of an ordeal. If I had ordered the Frizzlife filter the first time, it would have been a piece of cake. I'm just a homeowner with no connections or affiliations with any company. I am simply very pleased with this product after searching for hours to choose the best option and going through two duds before finally receiving this Frizzlife undersink unit.

Loving the convenience of this water filter so far. It's so nice to not have to refill a Brita filter anymore. I chose this filter because I wanted an under the sink filter with a designated water faucet to preserve the longevity/lifespan of the filter and also because I wanted one that was NSF/ANSI 53 certified for health effects - something particularly hard to find in this price range for under-sink filters. Water tastes OK - not bad at all, but also not delicious like I find Sparkletts to taste. Installation was rather easy, though one trouble I had is that I'm renting and the kitchen sink had a pre-drilled hole in the fake-quartz countertop which was marginally too large for this faucet. The faucet could fit entirely through. Luckily, the rubber gasket was just a hair larger than the hole, so I was still able to install it, but if I tighten the faucet over the gasket too securely, it caves into the hole, so the faucet is rather loosely affixed to my counter and rotates with the slightest force when turned on/off. Wish there was a larger metal gasket they provided to help with this issue since I can't drill another hole in my rental's kitchen countertop. Update: Been using for 2.5 years and filter has been working great, as advertised. My one challenge has been with replacing the filter. The plastic compartment that the filter is inside of is nearly impossible to open, even with excessive force (neither me or my boyfriend could open it). Took us over 30 minutes of huffing and puffing to open it with rubber bands to give extra grip. We broke the plastic "key" that came with it because the force required was so great to open it. Have to reach out for a replacement key now for the next filter replacements down the line.... wish it was easier to open, but luckily we don't have to replace it often.

Quality filter system! Easy to install! Just remember to run water 20 minutes through filter before water consumption use. I ran a filter out line to a drain and ran water full force for 30 minutes. This will clear up water of all filter particles. I also bought a spare SW20 filter to have on hand, despite the 24-36 month filter life. I installed my filter system for a commercial ice machine and plan on changing the filter 1X yearly.

Overall, my situation is very different than a "new" house with no existing under-cabinet water filter. The house we live in now was upgraded with our undercounter water Amway filter which today is over 20 years old and everyone in the house was sick of the poor filtering quality. Since Amway stopped selling replacement filters I could only find after-market filters which were not the same quality plus I suspected all the crud on the water spigot and I'm sure the lines were also not so clean any more. So, after enough online analysis and "consumer reporting" (who did not impress me with their recommendation) my wife and I decided on the Frizzlife water filter. Several changes were going to happen because my wife was concerned with the dishwasher in the cabinet adjacent to the sink in that it heated the sink cabinet. This was a problem as she continually noticed "warm" water from the existing filtered water spigot. The heat affected the Amway filter and all the tubing under the sink. In addition, I had run a line from the sink cabinet down to the basement to feed the ice maker. All of which was done with 3/8" tubing instead of the standard 1/4" tubing. So, as I said, my situation is not the "new" house situation and took more work than most would dare to sign up for. So, our installation required the filter to be placed in the basement, far away from the dishwasher's heat. This is why you see it mounted in the basement where it will stay cool. The blue line represents my cold water feed from under the sink and the white line ( I purchased the ice maker kit which is white tubing - I tend to sometimes over design ) is the filtered line. I split the filtered line coming out of the filter with a T-connector then placed a separate shutoff for the ice maker (in case I need to 1) adjust the pressure going to the ice maker and 2) I need to move the fridge but I don't want to shut off the filtered water all together - again, my insane over design mind at work again ). I also had to change the fitting on the 1/2" copper to a Sharkbite 1/4-turn 3/8" compression as the existing fitting was a dual 3/8" with the 1/2" sweat copper fitting. With the Frizzlife 3/8-3/8 thru with a T-1/4" shutoff adapter which screwed right onto the Sharkbite 3/8" compression threads I had no problem. All of the tubing snapped into the fittings clean and without trouble. I made sure EVERY tube was cut at 90 deg to ensure the tube would seal when inserted into the fitting. As for the faucet, my old faucet was disgusting! I crawled under the sink, as someone else said, doing a contortionist maneuver - not once, but several times. Removing the old faucet required my daughter's help to turn the faucet while I held the nut from underneath, all the while pieces of dried plumbing putty falling on my head, face, nose, mouth (yuck!) and my daughter screeching how disgusting it looked from her above-sink vantage point. Then, installing the new Frizzlife faucet took the about the same effort except tightening from underneath instead of from above - this took me much more effort with a sink-wrench. Overall, the work involved is typical of a sink faucet installation and the extra work in the basement is far above expectations for most, but again, my situation was very unique and my wife had very specific requirements going into this project. The Results: My wife noticed the lower water pressure at the faucet, which I had warned her would happen since I was changing from 3/8" tubing to 1/4" tubing but she LOVES the clarity and taste of the water. My favorite result is that following the guidelines and instructions I had ZERO (0), yes, you read that right, zero water leaks when I restored the water! I was somewhat concerned about leaks because of other reviews but then I realized they may have not made clean, 90 deg cuts. Plus, I've done enough plumbing work to know that taking the time to make the correct cuts, properly cleaning surfaces (like the 1/2" copper before inserting the sharkbite) and double-checking all insertions is extremely valuable. Keep in mind I too have a history of making huge messes with water leaks. I have had a history of the ice maker line leaking at the most inconvenient time (a la Christmas morning while we were at Grammy and Pappy's house and the basement started filling with water while opening presents). Lastly, the process to change the water filter at regular intervals was a MAJOR concern/requirement on my list as I have had to change the old water filter every 12 months for over 20 years and I was SICK of cleaning out the sink cabinet and then going through the exercise of turning off the filter water, opening the filter (creating a minor, wet mess) and cleaning out the filter housing, then installing the new filter and then running the water for 5-10 minutes to clear the filter of carbon particles after which I reloaded all the cabinet items. Now, I have all the room I need in the basement to work with this filter AND I do not need to worry about any "minor" water messes as it auto-shuts off when replacing the filter. The bonus is I was able to hang the plastic wrench on the same mounting board as I mounted the filter. For some odd reason I actually look forward to replacing the Frizzlife filter! Overall, all the items are solid quality and if anything, Frizzlife goes above and beyond. From the complete set of instructions to the attention to detail with parts and how the parts are purposely packaged, everything they shipped was in great condition and worked like a champ. I even sent in my 150% warranty information and they responded via email on a Sunday!

Really wanted something certified to get lead + all the above. I've tried a few of the cheaper filters that claim 10K gallons or 5 years... Let me tell you. I've been to some RV parks with some nasty water and even running those filters, the water was terrible. The pictures don't do this thing justice. When I picked up the box, it felt like picking up a 10 LB weight. Was like.. what the.. This thing is BEEFY. I was extremely impressed at all the brass fittings, compression fittings, and parts included with the package. I didn't end up screwing it into the wall, just set it upright on the ground behind the fridge. Results? Water tastes just like my fridge water at home with the internal filter. Doesn't have that weird after taste. Time will tell. Hopefully I remember to update this review for longevity. Value for everything I got was impressive. The install was a breeze. I already had a 1/2'' steel braided line on my water supply, so only needed to use one of the pex lines. I used the teflon tape on the two brass fittings that screwed in the supply/filtered side of it. Connected my braided line to the supply side, then the supplied pex fitting to the filtered side and I was done. Took longer than expected to purge, tons of air to get out, but, like I said, its a BEEFY, large filter. bigger than two coke cans stacks ontop of each other for a visual. Install took about... 10 minutes? It took longer to wrap the teflon tape than to just screw in the fittings.

The best thing is the ease of installation. No complicated steps, all parts needed (even extra pieces for different installation situations) are there. Nothing missing. I even changed the full pex line to my fridge since a good piece of pex came with it. MAKE SUREYOU DRAIN THE FILTER BRFORE YOU ATTACH IT TO THE FRIDGE . Let the water run in you sink for at least 5 minutes, 10 is even better. Durability is another story, I cannot attest to that, still too early, but from the looks of it it is a quality product
