I first installed my ExpressWater Countertop Reverse Osmosis system a little over a year ago. I mounted it on the wall above my sink using the screw holes in the metal holder of the original system. I noticed a loss in water quality (some possible bacterial growth in my water jugs that competed with some cultures that I grow) after about one year, so I agree that the filters should be replaced at least by then. It is possible that the bacterial growth may have been in the filter medium or in the jug, but I would figure that if I have a jug that has ultra-pure water in it, I would not have any bacteria able to survive without nutrients. I'm not sure I would have noticed, if I was not doing this special activity with the water. However, after I changed the filters out, I noticed the water tasted even better.
---Change your filters on the schedule to ensure the best water quality!
This filter set is for replacement of the original filters from the system. In case anyone was thinking they could just buy this set and forget about buying the system to start out, think again! I think it would be impossible to set it up any other way because the ROM filter is placed into the enclosure from the countertop system and there is a black tube along the line that offers resistance to the water pressure so that the ROM actually works and discharges the undesirable water. I noticed that this black tube is not included in the set, so maybe it never goes bad. I hope that is the case.
Overall, it was fairly easy to install the replacement filters. I needed a wrench/channel-lock to unscrew the ROM filter enclosure. I put a towel around it so that I didn't damage it. Everything sealed up just right.
I will also note that I had trouble with the original system back when I originally purchased it because the tubes that connect filter to filter were not long enough to twist the filters so that they would not leak. The company made it right by shipping me a fair length of the tubing so that I could replace it and eliminate the leaks. That is good service!!!
As for the quality of the water, I will first start by saying that water quality is very important to me and my family, and we have a water softener set up before the countertop set. The water softener removes the hardness (calcium) from it, so my ROM filter will last a lot longer with this particular setup (-- estimates I've read are up to 2X as long). When the water is first put through the system, some black charcoal water (and boy, can you taste it) comes through the spout, and after a few minutes of running, this goes away. The water then tastes excellent. I believe it is the purest water that I have ever had in my life.
I want to also mention that I do not use the filter every day. I have it set up in the basement above the stationary laundry tubs. When I have not used it in a few days, the first water that goes through tastes a little different than the pure water afterward. I solve this problem by running it for a minute or two before putting the hose I attached to the spigot into my big water container. It takes maybe about an hour and a half to filter 5 gallons. My house has poor water pressure, so I think it might take longer for me than average.
Overall, I am very pleased. I tested the water with a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter. The water after the water softener was 150 PPM. The water after the ExpressWater filter set was was 2 PPM!!!! That is very good, I think. I had the same result with some distilled water I bought from the store: 2 PPM. That makes me appreciate and recognize the quality of this filter set even more. The tea I brew with this water is pure tea. There's no awful background flavor. I think this water makes my oatmeal and hot cereals taste better, too. Life certainly is better with good, pure water, and ExpressWater certainly delivers!
