You are welcome! Hopefully my video can help you a bit. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, but it is pretty straightforward right out of the box. Good luck!

Hello and thank you very much for your comment. Sorry to hear that your countertop doesn’t have an extra opening. This dispenser is fairly thin and all it needs is little over half inch hole through the countertop for installation. With a correct diamond drill bit for stone it is not that difficult to drill through it. I will put it on my list and create a video how to drill through the granite. I’m sure there are others out there that will have a same issue. Have a wonderful day!

Hello and thank you for your question. The reason why this system doesn’t have a waste line is because it doesn’t utilize a reverse osmosis type of filtration to filter water. Therefore, no waste water is being produced. This simpler and more affordable system uses mechanical filtration where water is run through three stages of specifically designed filtration cartridges. These cartridges are specifically designed by the manufacturer to produce the best quality water possible, so I’m not sure if a generic filters would even work in this system. Considering the full cartridge replacement package from Frizzlife lasts a whole year and includes two stage I filters (replace every 6 months), one stage II and one stage III filters (replace both after 12 months), at around $50 a year I think that’s pretty good deal. I also have a video how I replaced the stage I filter for the first time. I hope my answer helps you a little bit. I’m just a happy user of this system. It works great for me and it is producing a great tasting water while removing chlorine, fluorides and some other contaminants and that’s all I need. I can’t remember it all, but I think I mentioned it in my video’s description. Depending on quality of your tap water and what all you would like the system to remove from your tap water, this system may or may not work for your needs.

Hello and thank you for your question. I believe this particular model offers “PREMIUM FILTRATION PERFORMANCE 0.0.5 MICRON” based on their manufacturer description. They offer different model GX99 that suppose to be UF.
