Does this Reverse Osmosis water filter have the UV Sensor to turn on and off the UV light when not in use?Yes, the RCC7AK-UV has been equipped with a transformer that turns on and off UV light automatically along with the water flow since Jan 2014. This feature prevents a potential heat hazard and extends the life of the UV light bulb. Does this RO water system remove asbestos crystals from the water?It is like an egg can't pass cheesecloth. The size of asbestos fiber ranges from 0.1 - 1 micron, which is at least 100 times larger than the RO membrane pores at 0.0001 micron. Does the tank contain a food grade butyl bladder? If so, does the bladder need to be cleaned every year? How do you go about doing that?To clean the residential RO machine and bladder is the same. Remove the filters and put 3 tbs of bleach (1 tbs in each vertical filter housing) mixed with water until the system and tank are full of this disinfecting solution. Let it sit for 1-2 hours and then rinse the system and tank twice. Our well tested positive for total cloriform, negative for e. coli. Did this system solve anyone elses total cloriform problem?While reverse osmosis can remove microorganisms. However, it is not recommended for that use, as bacteria can grow through the membrane. Can this Reverse Osmosis water filtration system be installed in a basement location appoximately 9 feet below the sink? Will the pressure be enough to have flow from the faucet?Yes. The RO system can be installed in a basement location, but the water flow will be slower. We recommend to install a booster pump to bring the water pressure back. I am installing new granite countertop, what size hole should they make for the faucet of this product?If you're drilling a new hole, the perfect size is 1/2 inch, however you can also cover any existing hole up to 2 inches if you have any unused soap dispenser or something else you can use. Can the booster pump be attached separately?This Reverse Osmosis filter system may still work when source water pressure is as low as 35 psi, but it won't be efficient especially water temperature drops below 60F. Adding a booster pump requires wiring and tubing connections. It could be more error prone for a ordinary customer so we would prefer to do it for you. If you have any more questions, please contact us at (678)261-7611 or open a ticket here. Does the 3.2 gallon tank accommodate for a family of 4? I'm worried about not having enough water when I need it.Yes. This 3.2 gallon tank is a good option for a household of 4. I was wondering if this Reverse Osmosis water filter system has ever been tested for BPA or any other plastic derivatives? There is plastic in the filter, and it is warm.All plastic parts are made with food grade material and BPA free. Is the bad taste still an issue with the under sink Reverse Osmosis UV filter?There wouldn't have any bad taste should you followed the instruction to flush the RO filter system in advance. If you followed the directions and still have this bad taste issue, please contact us at (678)261-7611 or open a ticket here. My incoming water pressure is 70psi. Do I need the booster pump to decrease water waste and increase efficiency?No, you will be fine. The domestic RO water filter system works for the water pressure range from 45psi to 70 psi. Will this RO water purifier for kitchen kill virus?According to CDC, Reverse Osmosis filtration systems have a very high effectiveness in removing viruses (for example, Enteric, Hepatitis A, Norovirus, Rotavirus); the pore size of the RO membrane is approximately 0.0001 micron. You can find more info on CDC website. Is there a cartridge to increase the alkalinity?Yes, there is one stage of Alkaline filter, which will add health minerals back to your water. Will this Reverse Osmosis water purifier remove fluoride, lead and aluminum please?Yes. A Reverse Osmosis (RO) system can remove 99% fluoride, 98% aluminum, and 98% lead in water. Do I have any worry for having a well, plus a home filtration (salt) to remove heavy iron?The RCC7AK-UV Reverse Osmosis drinking water system can remove up to 99% of 1,000 different contaminant in water. Yes, it will remove salt and heavy iron. What is the pH level of the water this under sink Reverse Osmosis system produces?The final pH of the product water is entirely dependent on the quality of your source water. On average, the mineral cartridge will raise your pH by 0.5-0.8 but this will vary between customers depending on individual water chemistry. Where can I get replacement filters or uv bulbs for this RO filtration system?You can find the Ultraviolet UV lamp here. Is this NSF Certified?Yes, the under sink RO system RCC7AK-UV is certified to NSF/ANSI 58 for TDS reduction (58 for reverse osmosis). I bought my Reverse Osmosis unit 2 years ago. the gac filter housing has a pinhole leak at the bottom of the housing. how do i buy a new one of those?You can find the Reverse Osmosis water purification system housing here:White housingClear housing Is there a difference between this ispring brand and other brands?

I like it. The water is great. The first few days the water had a funny odor and taste so we put it in a pitcher and let it sit the taste went away. After about 4 days that went away and now we drink it from the tap. I did run into was that it seems to be difficult to change filters and is clumsy. The UV controller 2 White wires needs to be about 6 inches longer I broke mine just moving it around so I fixed it and lengthened it. Installing the faucet I have granite counter tops and used a preexisting hole for the soap dispenser it had a one inch hole so it took a little ingenuity to mount the faucet. They should include a adapter for this because a lot of people may mount the same as I did and may not be able to overcome the issue. All that said I still worry about whether it will leak.

We really enjoy this product. Being a private well, we were concerned about having high quality drinking water. We paired it with a regular large size filter and softener and our drinking water is bottled water quality. This is amazing considering we start with really bad well water! It's very easy to use and once initially installed, requires very little maintaining- just changing the filters every 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years. Highly recommend!

The product works good but was not easy to get it to stop leaking once installed. It also came with a missing part.

Easy install, crystal clear water!This took me less than an hour to install, and I took my time and read the instructions. a couple of the plastic fittings seemed like they shouldnt work, but that just shows you how much I know about plumbing. Everything went together flawlessly, and everything but the drill and drill bit were included.I have more fish tanks in my house than my wife cares for, and having the filtered water in our new location was extremely important to me. I extensively test my water regularly and even test the fresh water I am introducing into my tanks.The water comes out with perfect parameters for my freshwater fish, once I harden it a some. All foreign contaminants that I am able to test for are gone, compared to the tap source.Being this is the first and only filtration system I have installed I cannot compare my experience, but it was straightforward and easy.The price and quality are both exceptional and iSpring filters have won my familys vote!

First things first, I have well water and a whole house filter system in place that includes a sediment filter and chlorinator. The system was installed when I bought my home and the water tasted really odd, which I assume is because I had to add bleach to the chlorinator. There are mineral deposits on all of the shower heads and in the metal sink drains from the pre-existing system, which tells me that something isnt working very well to make my water pure.I have been buying Aquafina 24 packs of bottled water @$5 for years going through ~5/week that comes out to ~$25/week (unless the prices vary). I was gettin tired of having to carry the water into the house and having to recycle over a hundred plastic bottles per week. In addition to those bottles I was also buying 3 one gallon packs of distilled water for my coffee machine.I finally had enough and decided to sign up for water service from Crystal Springs, which to put it briefly was a total disaster. Every step of the process with this company was a struggle from the initial sign-up, through deliveries, to cancellation and picking-up equipment. I really dont recommend these DS water service (Crystal Spring) people if you have any alternative. Putting it in perspective, I spent less time setting up my iSpring seven stage filter than I did just on hold waiting to talk to DS customer service.With a little background established, I have to say that I had a fairly easy time setting up the filter system because I didnt have to drill a hole in my counter or sink. Instead, I elected to remove the handheld dish sprayer from the side and utilize the existing hole for the filtered water faucet. This was a bit of a hassle for other reasons than the installation of the filter, particularly that I didnt know how to take the sprayer apart for removal and then I reassembled it incorrectly. I will be replacing my main faucet with a sprayer style built in to resolve the lack of a sprayer for my dishes.The entire installation too me around 2.5 hours with some interruption and sprayer complication. I cycled the system per the instructions to flush out the tank and filters. The water initially was a little cloudy after purging and refilling, so I flushed it again to be safe. The water was a little clearer and tasted pretty good over the pre-filtered state. I left the tank overnight and had a glass of water the next morning and noted a very odd taste and smell to the water. Before purchace, I read several reviews of the system and was concerned that I was getting stage 7 (untraviolet light) contamination as others have indicated they experienced. Per other reviews I tried filling and emptying the tank a few times, but after a few hours it seemed like the water started to taste nasty again. I was about to return the system and chalk it up to another failed venture, but I decided to give iSpring customer service a chance to see if there was another possible culprit. They said that the tank is to blame because of the bladder that it inside of the standard tank. It is some sort of plastic or rubber material that some people are more sensitive to thank others. They suggested that with regular use the taste would even out and become more balanced, but Id already tried emptying out the tank several times with no improvement in taste after a few hours of sitting. They offered to send me a new "special" tank that is redesigned for people that are sensitive to the other tank. I accepted the replacement tank offer and waited for it to arrive. They said that I could use the system with the tank turned off, but the flow of water was almost nonexistant, so it was pretty unrealistic to use the system without the pressurized tank. It took ~4 days to get the new tank and just a few minutes to install it, but WOW what a difference! The water is no longer cloudy and the smell is gone. This now meets most of my water needs since I can fill drinking glasses and my BPA free water bottles for when Im in the office or on the go. Thank you for the replacement tank iSpring, please consider including this tank by default on all of your newly purchased kits. I saw that youve taken customer feedback into consideration with the untraviolet light portion by adding the pressure switch to the kit based on customer feedback. Im certain that all new customers will appreciate the "special" tank as a part of their kit, even if the cost is increased slightly.After everything that Ive been through just trying to get clean water, I recommend this system to anyone wanting a better alternative to bottled water or terrible delivery servce.

They originally shipped my unit by UPS, which created all sorts of drama since UPS doesnt deliver to my rural address. But iSprings worked extra hard at getting my unit to me, contacting me and keeping me up to date. Id given up on ever receiving it after UPS sent it to their boneyard and told us that there was no way to get it back. So iSprings sent another unit by USPS which arrived within a week, with no problems!Ive installed it and it works great. The flow is way better then Im used to from these types of systems. Im so happy to not have to buy water anymore.Great product and even better customer service!!!!PS. make sure you push the 1/4" tubes in past the second bump when connecting them.

Product works well and their support is pretty responsive as one of the parts spring a tiny leak (small trace of water) they offered to replace.

The i-Spring 7-Stage system is an excellent unit and I am very happy with the overall results. I followed the somewhat sparse instructions and had little difficulty installing the system. After purging both the filters and the tank, we have started using as our primary water supply at our cabin and I am impressed with the output. This is particularly encouraging given we do not have high pressure on our lines and I was concerned the system would not function.I would have given this system a 5-star rating but have a couple of reservations that limit that high a score:a.) I found the quick-connect connections to be very reliable and leak-free but the ones requiring a wrench were not as forgiving nor as easy to seal. Adding multiple twists of teflon tape helps but I still find the connection at the tap to be "iffy".b.) The brass connector included to attach the system to the water supply works well, but assumes all systems are standard 1/2" supplies. This is not an issue as a plumbing supply store solves that fairly easily but it would be valuable to know beforehand if one doesnt (I dont) have a supply store right done the street. Given that this type of system with both osmosis and UV protection is clearly designed for non-urban environments...thats an important point!
