In this video, I replace the cartridge in my WaterDrop WD-10UA under sink water filter, which provides great tasting water from my kitchen faucet. I compare the flow and taste to see if I waited too long to change the filter.

Awesome! Thank you for another informative video Chris! I’m always thinking of good quality and clean drinking water for my home. I always go back and forth and research many different water filter systems. We have been using the 3i Filtrete under sink system which needs to be changed ever 6 months.

That is a testament of your water quality. The filter is plugging up which means it is doing its job. I have a different system from this company under my sink. They make a couple three filter units. I have the version with the filters that look similar to this one (other model sits in steel canisters). My three filter model has a pre-filter that catches larger sediment, a granular carbon element to remove chemicals, and then a carbon block with KDF as a final filter. I ended up swapping out the last filter for a stand alone RF-10 ultra filtration filter (that is a stand alone model similar to what is in this video. The filter I used as a replacement is very similar in cost and components to the one I replaced except for the added benefit of finer filtration. These systems all use the same style connectors, and it did not require any tweaks to change it out.. My water is really filtered with that set up (verified by test papers). I have insanely high water pressure of about 90 psi. I get about 1.3 gallons per minute out of my faucet even though that system is said to provide 1 gpm. I also swapped the last filter out to keep me safe from a lot of toxins that are not even tested for in municipal water systems. Those include things like pharmaceuticals and microplastics. The finer the filter media the less of that stuff you drink. The pre-filter makes it so my system does not clog up insanely fast. I have about a year with my last filter which is rated for about 12-18 months. Ya, the filters on that set-up cost more, but you are what you consume. I want the water I consume and cook with to be the safest I can get. I also have smaller systems like that in my bathrooms for water I primarily use for brushing my teeth.

Any ideas on my problem here? I installed one of these and it worked great for a few months but then all of a sudden when I turn it on it makes a loud "duh duh duh" noise and the water shuts off. I have to use the regular faucet (i have a kitchen faucet that has a drinking water tap together, only the drinking water one is filtered) and jerk the water handle off to full flow real fast to get the water filter tap to flow again. How do I fix this?

I’d remove the filter and put the lines back to just the faucet connections to test the faucet. If it’s not the faucet, I’d contact the filter company to get a replacement.

Sorry too debunk your VIDEO, all you did, was change a filter one year plus later. You should have had a water testing kit there, to verify your finding. This is NOT a True Review of your system, you have too go further than that, to give a better account that the system is a good product to use. So I must turn down (your review) on this product. And seek more information that I was looking for. It is NOT in this VIDEO. Try Again. (BAD BAD REVIEW)

It was a waste of time watching. We are all looking for a good review on products, total information, if we decide to buy or not. Should I buy this product just based on taste and water flow. naa, I don't think so. It's too bad he put the word review in his YT heading. A hole year went by and all he was concern with was taste and water flow, Really. Give me a break. Again that was a waste of time doing that Review.
