Love this product. It arrived in good time. It was very easy to install – thank you to my son.
The under sink filter system and tap fits well under the sink, is a quality product at an excellent price.
Good flow speed on tap. It is slower than normal household tap, but no one has complained for having filtered water available.
Loving filtered water.
