   Product quickly, easy to install and water is much clearer and so far tastes great. The pressure is great as well. Worth the money spent.

   The Waterdrop -AS08 was just what I needed: a filter to intercept the water line feeding a plumbed espresso machine. The stainless housing stands sturdily without needing to mount (though one is included if desired) and coordinates well with the chromed machine. It is easy to set up, with several sizes of quick-connect hose collets included. With 8000 gallons of lifespan for the filter inside it won’t require swapping out every 3-5 months like our fridge water supply did. Waterdrop customer service made sure I got relatively quickly the right parts and connections I needed (3/8″ female compressions on both ends, though normally it comes with only one). That said my full house water system is carbon filtered and balanced for the right amount of hardness in the softness to still taste good while preventing long term scale issues. Thus I needed this Waterdrop filter mostly just to make sure if any sediment occurs in the supply while coursing through the house’s plumbing from the master filter, that it won’t end up in my boilers. Thus any taste benefit this filter may confer is hard to judge. Aesthetically I wanted a filter that looks clean and shiny since it isn’t hidden from view. Kudos for this design—no ugly labels to look at. The only complaint is that it doesn’t ship with the stainless-colored braided hoses quite as pictured in the listing. They come with unsightly red ‘candy cane striping’. Thus since my hoses are visible instead of hidden it’s a small distracting detail that’s less than thrilling. Waterdrop had stainless-color-only hoses that they were willing to send instead, but they are the wrong size of quick connectors to fit the filter cylinder itself. Otherwise I’m very satisfied with the item and Waterdrop’s commitment to good service.

   I’ve had this for 14 months so far and no signs of needing to replace the filter for the first time yet. I bought a replacement filter just in case and it’s been collecting dust for quite awhile now. On average, I drink about 150 oz per day from it. I know several people in my town who buy all their drinking water and I can’t imagine how much I’d be saving if I had converted from doing the same.

   So I was terrified to install this. Not because my lack of skill, very much the contrary. Been a doing mechanical work my whole life. But that fact that I have had plumbing things in the past go weirdly wrong. The unknown stuff that seems to fail. Like old soldered fittings that decide to fall off, the gang of connections for ice maker, dishwasher, new fangled sink fittings etc. I was planning on something going wrong. It did not. I just took my time, did not force anything, went slow and thought each move out before hand. What was weird…the hoses and fittings supplied. They seem “flimsy” yet they are secure and hold and don’t leak! I took time to make sure all my existing hoses were clear and out of the way and secure as well for the flex hose weight that travels when pulled. The hoses fittings press into the body do have a lot of “wiggle” to them. There is a very thick o-ring in the housing body and I think that along with the locking clip they plan on it holding just fine. One of the locking clips was broken, however extras were in the pack. The hose must be some sort of pex with stainless braid is why it seems so light weight. Anyhow not a drop of water leaking at all. I am keeping my eye on it though!! Also the little timer was a nice touch. Note that the filter is “floppy” inside the housing. However it is sealed in the head unit. Make sure you have enough clearance to drop the housing and pull the filter. I needed the included wrench and the bracket screws with a large screwdriver for leverage to open it up. Used a bit of chapstick to lube the o-rings. All-in-all I am impressed and thing getting this vs a plastic housing was the better move. Water flow seems great. Happy with the kit. Take your time, think through your install, mount it last, make sure your hoses are clear, and don’t force anything.

   I am only 1 week into owning this filter so I can’t comment on how long it will last or how well it filters things like heavy metals or lead. Build quality: Very good. This thing is solid and heavy, even more so when you put water in it. I decided to not hang it to the side of my flimsy cabinet and instead set it on the floor under my kitchen sink. Ease of installation: Not bad. As you can see from the photo I marked on the filter the direction of water flow to make it more visible (small mark on top was not visible enough for me). AND I put reminders for myself which direction to twist the locking collar to tighten/loosen. When I first got the unit I tried taking the collar off with the supplied “wrench” but had no luck. Turns out dummy me was turning it the wrong way. DOH! I also used the supplied plumbers tape on all of the threads as the fittings felt a little to easy to tighten. The thread tape, if applied just to the threads and in the direction you will screw on the fittings, did a great job of stopping any leaks. I used 2 to 3 wraps and wrenches to ensure a good fit. Flow rate: Good This unit is rated at 1.6 gpm. It is not. My water flow from my kitchen sink has gone down, but not to the point where it annoys me. In fact it toned down my very high water pressure to a more reasonable level IMO. I did some testing while letting the water run for 10 minutes (per included instructions) after first installing the filter. In 3 minutes this filled up a 3 gallon bucket. Thus the water flow is around 1 gpm, not the advertised 1.6. Filter/taste: Very good taste I have not tested my water so I can not say factually if this thing actually removes a good amount of lead, heavy metals, cysts, etc. The company says it does but does not provide any fact based evidence or lab results. Based on that and the fact that this is a Chinese company makes me think that this .05 micron filter probably filters some heavy metals, but not as much as they claim. The water tastes noticeably better after installing the filter and now I am not as worried about my water when making coffee or boiling some pasta. Final verdict: If you want a well build filter housing that should last forever, was easy to install and makes good tasting water then I recommend this product. If you want verified heavy metal reductions then I would do more research. Nothing I saw in the advertising was more than words. IMO the company should send the filter that comes with this housing to a lab then post the actual results. Since they don’t do this I am guessing the results are not that great in terms of reducing heavy metals and such in your water.

   This filter is very good, the water is soft and free of chlorine taste and smell and dirt. This is the most important thing I value about this filter. I recommend it!!

   I bought this filter to replace the expensive, RFID-chipped filters that my new refrigerator uses. I chose it for several reasons including the metal construction, long filter life and relatively low cost of replacement filters. The filter came with a heavy duty wrench to loosen its retaining ring. It wasn’t too difficult to remove after I realized that the ring itself rotated and not the housing. Since I had originally planned to use the filter for a refrigerator, I knew I would have to acquire extra fittings from a plumbing store. I think an improvement would be to include the option for a 1/4 inch “ice maker” connection. After hooking it up, I flushed water through it for 10 minutes. The water was clear and tasted as good as my refrigerator’s original filter.
