This RO filter sounded just like what I needed
I am used to RO water while I was in India, and this year when I had to relocate to US, I wasn't ready to drink tap water, specially after Flint water fiasco. This RO filter sounded just like what I needed. When the product arrived, I was disappointed when I noticed broken inlet adapter. Fortunately the included extra fittings do include the 90 degree bent adapter, and I thought it will be an easy job. The problem is in order to remove/replace it, you need to remove 12 screws detach the metal part and the 3 large filter heads. I did that, and underestimated the Teflon tape required while replacing the broken one. I followed @Studio Dweller's review and rearranged RO Membrane->Mineral->Storage Tank->Carbon->Faucet. Later in the night I saw a dampened under-sink, and it was a very small leak from the broken replaced adapter. Once the filters are full of water its very hard to open them. You have to close the storage tank, input valve, and carefully disconnect the inlet tube from the tap line. There will be a mess under your sink, and if you can trap the water you will be good. Then you can open it up. So another round of 12 screws, some more Teflon tape, its all good. Its been close to 2 months, and not a drop of leak since then. The water taste is top notch, the look of the faucet matches rest of my brushed stainless steel tap. I also reported this to the manufacturer, and they were very responsive, they offered to send me some more additional adapters, which reached me in few days.
