Glad I could help! We love our filter!

Glad I could help!

Glad you liked it!

No problem!

If you didn't then you need to!

Yep, bought it over holidays and no regrets at all. Tastes just as good as other pitchers, if not better. Instant drinking water with no wait now. So happy with this.

You're welcome!

It's not recommended for well water because sediment from the well will clog the filter. You can still use this filter as long as you have a whole house filter to screen the sediment first. In my experience though whole house filters greatly decrease the water pressure in the whole house so I bypass mine.

There are faucets that have the extra spout directly on the faucet. Makes it a lot easier

Try using something to heat it up a lil bit

Yes

It should be, but without doing it that way myself I can't be for certain. If you have good pressure at the tap overall then using the spray attachment should work. Be sure to check if you need any adapters other than what comes in the kit.

Use the teflon tape on any of the threaded connections if needed. If I didn’t use any then the connections I made did not require any 😁. Yes, filtered water only comes out of the new faucet, not out of your regular faucet.

Was this ever resolved?

I believe this means do not use with well water. With your local commercial water supply there is no concern as that water is microbiologically safe.

I'm not sure what you mean by "standard", but you can get replacement filters specific to this unit on Amazon. We have only had it installed for less than six months and have not needed to replace it yet.

The 17UB can service for 36 months.

On a filter like this, there are three ways to tell if the filter needs to be changed. If the water flow significantly declines the filter is loaded with sediment and needs to be changed. If the taste of the water takes a turn for the worse, the carbon element is full of contamination, and the filter needs to be changed. The last one is by the manufacturer's recommended "service life" of the filter.

If you don't mind China knowing, any assistant like Google Siri or Alexa can remind you, or buy the filters on Amazon and use the subscribe and save option.

That's odd. The way it is connected there should be no difference in pressure. We have two and neither reduced pressure. Double check your connections.

It’s actually much better than we expected. We have a well and I was reluctant to drink much of it before getting this filter. Now, instead of bottled water, we use the filtered tap for everything. Though your results and mileage may vary :-)

@@liferocks8896 thank you!

Mine is not clear. Water is ether clear or like milk. I ran it for 2 weeks now. Returning.

@@liferocks8896 I bought it and installed it. the tube to the faucet leaked so I had to return it. Now I'm going to get the direct connection filter for half price. We'll see how it goes

As a matter of fact we are. I was just about to order a replacement filter. 3 yrs in and still working great. We also bought one for a new house. That one is approaching 2 yrs with no issues. I have no complaints about this filter.

May be

Tds ppm isn’t a good test to tell you anything and unless your doing distilled or ro water then it won’t be lower or much lower, PpM changes due to temperature even as I have tested it, the majority of ppm is minerals in the water along with any other tds added which shouldn’t be much unless your water is polluted, you get a filter to keep out the chlorine or chromium(some other minor metals) the city adds to kill bacteria, waterdrop does include this info about tds and ppm that it’s not a good indicator in there filters especially the water pitchers, lots of tests on KZfaq with ppm meters that mean absolutely nothing, I have had a Brita pitcher as well and the waterdrop one is a little better, it has an actual seal, to note most filters will do heavy metals at the least and some chlorine, If you were going to go crazy I would say get an ro system like waterdrop then a waterdrop chubby alkaline pitcher, ro has a a very low alkaline due to no minerals, my wife complained of headaches just drinking the ro water, which I was aware of and didn’t tell her as I wanted to see myself (I’m so bad) the waterdrop alkaline chubby pitcher adds 1.5-2ph, which is perfect for the lowered ph of an ro system or distilled water, it gives it back but pure. I think the alkaline pitcher is to much if you use tap water alone, you don’t want higher ph in regular tap water, alkaline isn’t good (high alkaline water) from what most say as it’s been a popular trend. but perfect if you have ro water as ro/distilled is very low to zero minerals, good to add a little healthy minerals, solved our problem.

It’s been a year on this video but did you get any answer? I just installed mine. I got this TDS tester from zero water. I tested both from faucet and the new set-up. Both have same value around 115. Seems like filter is not working ? I double check the waterdrop filter is tight. I appreciate any comment

@@andyf7107 Waterdrop's web site specifically says this filter does not reduce TDS's. Apparently only their reverse osmosis filters do that.

@@andyf7107 Filters like these will not reduce TDS. Zero water uses ion exchange beads in filter to remove dissolved solids. but they only last for ~20 gallons. Filters with carbon blocks or gac (like this one) will not affect TDS, but do well in removing chlorine and will improve taste. some will say drinking water should have minerals as it is healthier. If you want to remove "TDS" then you need to go with an RO system.
