" Review: good product - iam happy with this Review: Excellent filter / Easy to install - I've used faucet attached filters (e.g. PUR / Brita) for years, but they all seem to eventually leak from the casing as the replaceable cartridges age / saturate. I decided to up my game and purchase a multistage under-the-sink filtration system and after some research selected PureDrop CUW4. It was very easy to install (if you are familiar with "Push-To-Connect" technology) and works great. I've seen some reviewers complaining that flow is weak / low, but I have not had that issue with the system installed under the sink in my home kitchen, so I suppose if you have "average" water pressure, you should be fine. "Leaks" are likely cause by having not properly engaged the "Push-To-Connect" technology (e.g. not pushing the tubing in far enough). My only complaint would be that the instructions could d a better job with more descriptive text and images that explain the "". They do provide a web link to a video for assistance with "Push-To-Connect" technology, but: 1) it also needs "work" (I've seen much better instructional videos with clos-ups of the actions to be performed) and I was still a bit confused about exactly what to do to the little blue plastic ring clamp - push/pull/squeeze/etc, and 2) who wants to go and click on a link while you are already looking at instructions - just put the text / images in the manual to begin with)? Product is great but deserves a better instruction manual.
