Test results are in (see photos attached), and I cannot be any happier with my purchase! This all started when finding out that my wife is pregnant with our first child. Living in a 100 year old condominium in Chicago, I always knew we had lead service pipes... but now with the pregnancy, this became more of a concern. I started off by buying a water testing kit (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DMF8SH6/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_21) and put my water to the test. As far as lead was concerned, it passed, but just BARELY. Who feels comfortable about just barely passing water? Not me, so the hunt was on to find a whole home filter that would fit in the tiny closet that has our water intake. I wasn't sure there was going to be enough room for this (see attached pictures of this tiny closet), but I got it anyways in hopes of also finding a skilled enough plumber to make this happen. After dropping $1,150 for a plumber to put this in, we somehow made it fit in our tiny closet. The first thing I noticed after putting this in was just how much fluffier my hair was after a shower. You will be amazed at the difference it makes on almost everything. Our clothes now come out softer, our dishes have less spots, our hands are less dry after washing them, and our lead problem is virtually gone now. I cannot recommend this WGB22B-PB enough. If you're on the fence, definitely pull the trigger on this one.
