Tools and Hardware Reviews of Aquasana undercounter water filter system
Customer Review: Cheap Materials
Summary: 1 Stars
I had to post this because of the problems I've had with the quality of the product. I've had problems with the threads on the housing caps breaking and the housings themselves breaking. I've gone through several of each in a couple of years time even with being careful about water pressure and tightening of the threads. The people I've talked to at the company have been ok to deal with but this is just annoying. My shower filter from them just broke as well. I've ordered a system from someone else that uses stronger 10 inch filter housings and standard 10 inch filters which are cheaper in the long run as you're not locked into a proprietary system. Hope this helps someone make a better informed choice than I did.Customer Review: Not impressed after 2 years of use

I did some research before chosing this unit - although it is hard to find reputable and unbiased info on the web the Aquasana system seemed to have a good reputation. I would agree with other reviewers that the system seems flimsy; although I haven't had any parts break, I had trouble getting replacement cartridges to fit without leaking. I also have had problems with the dispenser dribbling and running on for a while after use.
My biggest issue is perhaps not the fault of the unit, but the water tastes weird if it sits around in a glass for a couple of hours after being dispensed. Not sure if this is due to my water supply or to the water filter.
Customer Review: Improves water taste very little

I don't know about leaking problems. I installed (under counter) myself
and had no trouble. Connections are very simple (too simple?) you just push hoses into recepticals. You cannot connect to your ice maker for filtered water to refrig. Our water out here in the country has a mineral taste, somewhat salty. We had a RO system that just broke down (4 years old it took all mineral taste out of water. I am trying this system to retain some minerals in the water, however it does not improve the taste of our water much. Maybe 40% better. So just know that compared to RO your water will taste much more like straight tap water.
Customer Review: second time around, won't be back

The first water filteration system we bought from aquasana was great, no complaints. So cheap, when we moved, we just bought another one. This time, the casing for the original filter cracked at just about a year (end of warranty period, hmmmm). We were annoyed because we didn't just have to buy a new filter, we had to replace the whole unit except for the plastic housing, and we had to pay for it. 6 months later the replacement cracked. Very disappointing. Shopping around for alternatives now, i'd rather pay more for something that lasts and that doesn't consistently provide defective parts.Customer Review: Aquasana 4000 Undercounter Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System
Summary: 5 Stars
Two seperate boxes. Easy to install. Low presure lines and fittings seem a bit flimsy but the lines haven't leaked and the system works fine. I live in a beach town and like most beach towns, our tap water is horrible, full of chlorine and who knows what else. The filtered water tastes better that any bottled water I've used. I hope this system lasts a long time. I highly recommend this system for drinking water which is reported to be less than 9 cents per gallon. Purchased from BestFilters for a low price and they seemed like a good company to deal with.
