WHIRLPOOL WHAROS5 ULTRAEASE REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTRATION SYSTEM

Great price. Product has a good warranty. Have had the system for a month for our household. Our family loves the taste of water.

Drinking and cooking

Compré el filtro se instaló conforme a instructivo y no sale agua. Llamé al teléfono que Amazon proporciona y vinieron a revisar en tres ocasiones los técnicos, sin resolver el problema. Ahora dicen que NO tengo ninguna GARANTÍA porque es Whirpool Estados Unidos, cuando anteriormente me dijeron que sí había garantía. Por tal motivo no devolví el producto y se cerró la ventana de devoluciones.

I've been ordering bottled water from a local water filtration company that brings 5 gallon bottles.. excellent water and we go through about 5, 5 gallon bottles every 2 weeks, and now because of the virus I'm not so excited to get the delivery, that guy who visits a dozen+ homes per day, or go to the store directly and pick them up myself. In turn, I was looking at RO filters on Amazon and studied the reviews of similar priced water filters... there are a few good companies and options to get.. some add ph, add minerals, etc.. but my friend suggested I go with Whirlpool and this exact model. I am soooo pleased with this purchase, I can't stop telling people to get this one. It was fairly easy to install, I read the manual and installation steps carefully.. planned the install and did it myself in about an hour and a half. Pretty straight forward, you will need to cut the tubes; use a brand new clean razor to cut the tubes to the proper length, please practice a few small cuts close to the end so that you don't cut too much off and end up having to order new tubes. Once you're done, you will need to drop 3ml of Clorox bleach into the system to disinfect it, then run the water for 24 hours. Once the system is purged, the reservoir fills up again and it's ready to use. So far after a few days there are no issues, the water tastes great and I have such peace of mind now.. I can forget about calling to order a water delivery. It's a great system, Whirlpool is a great brand, the other brands might be good too but think about the replacement filters. Beware, the parts are plastic, I suggest you take your time and don't over torque it. I'm so relieved this system is working great and the water is absolutely perfect. The best $200 I spent so far this crappy year. Don't forget to put the 3ml bleach through the system to disinfect. Be well and be safe.

Using this under sink in my outside covered lanai. Live in Florida so can use year round. Installed myself. Do not use the faucet that comes with the unit. It is cheap and mostly plastic. Throw it away. I bought the RO AquaSource Brushed Hot And Cold Water Dispenser faucet with Hi-Arc Spout from Lowes for $58. Works great. The fitting that attaches to the top of the storage tank is the only leak I had after install. It is because the directions state you only need to wrap teflon tape twice around the threads on the top of the tank. I found that you need to wrap the tape 5 or 6 times. Then hand tighten the fitting with 8 full revolutions. All of the other color tubes are easy to connect, but you need to push firmly twice to insure a leak-free connection. For every one gallon of RO water, it will send 3 gallons down the drain as waste water. Some other RO systems are higher efficiency, but they are more expensive and so are the replacement filters. But the more waste water produced, the longer you will hear the water going down your drain. It's no big deal as my unit is outside, but if you install it indoors it can take as long as 2 hours to refill an empty tank and drain does not stop until tank is full again. It's less time if you just fill a drinking glass. If you are going to empty the tank using a pitcher for example, do it before you go to bed and then you won't hear the waste water drain. Flow from faucet is really good with a full tank and gradually tapers off as the tank empties. You really need to use this with soft water conditioner. The filters won't last as long with hard water as hard water is tough on the RO membrane.
