The area I live in has municipal water, so I wasn't worried about pathogens or sediment necessarily. However the water treatment plants draw water from the local river, which has had issues with PFAS/PFOA levels due to a local chemical plant. I originally had a water cooler and had 5 gallon jugs delivered from a local company, but it was getting to the point where I would need 9-10 jugs per month. I was tired of lugging them around, not to mention the cost and storage of the containers. I searched for a good under-sink filtration system with a dedicated faucet, specifically one that was ANSI certified for reduction of PFAS. Many of the other products I found state that they are certified, but when I looked on the ANSI website their products/company info was nowhere to be found. Aquasana was one of the only products I found that truly is ANSI certified and you can easily find them on the ANSI website. With the cost of the filtration system itself and the filter changes every 6 months, I would easily save a good chunk of money per year.

Shipping was pretty quick, and installation was very straightforward with basic hand tools. The faucet that came with the kit was perfect for what I needed (filling glasses, water bottles, the dogs bowl, etc.) and matched my existing oil rubbed bronze faucet set. Filter installation is a breeze, and I like that you can set up a subscription to have a new set of filters delivered every 6 months. Water quality is outstanding and I like that it filters out the unwanted chemicals without getting rid of the beneficial minerals.

the installation was pretty straight forward, aside from drilling the hole for the faucet, but everything else was easy. instructions were good, and it was easy to find a vide online to help.

water tastes clean and refreshing.

the only issue I have, and I think its a pretty big issue, there is a problem with water flow, and from what I've read its a known issue with this product. you can either loosen the closest filter a bit which allows the water to flow properly (but creates a slow leak), or there is a method of adding something to the filter somehow, but I could only find explanations of it online which I didn't really understand.

I scoffed at people's complaints of waterflow when I was deciding on this product, but it would take a minute to fill 1 cup of water so its a little much. I also think the company is aware of the issue...

So glad to have finally found something that allows me to be comfortable drinking water from a tap and not using plastic anymore. I was a little apprehensive but really needed to cut back on the plastic waste. I saw a commercial at the right time and decided to try. Compared to what I spend on bottled water, it was a deal. It was also very easy to install in our sprayer section on our sink, which also gave us the opportunity to upgrade our main faucet. I love that the water has good stream and pressure and there is no scent or taste. I have a glass pitcher and keep some in the refrigerator as well. SO happy I made this switch, not just because of super clean water but also feels good to cut down on waste and plastic contamination.

Had this same Aquasana filtration system previous 6 years. Always wondered why, although I only used the filtered water from my Aquasana system, the mineral deposit build up in my tea kettle (clear glass) was still quite heavy. The old system failed, linked under my kitchen cabinet overnight, and warped the cabinet door beyond repair. During the 2 weeks while waiting for my new system to arrive, I purchased bottled water. NO mineral buildup in the kettle at all. I guess this system doesn't do as good a job as I thought all those years, and it was a huge huge hassle when it failed. New system is in, and immediately the mineral buildup in kettle has returned.
