FIlter works Great in removing sediment and the chlorine taste in our water. The customer service for this company is also INCREDIBLE! My plumber damaged the unit I received and iSpring replaced it at no charge. I highly recommend both the filter and the company!!!

The install would be eased with basic plumbing skills. You have to drill two holes; one in your sink (1/2in) and one in your drain pipe (1/4in). I wasnt aware of this, but I am so so so so happy I have this now. The rest of the install is fairly straight forward, though moderately difficult and time consuming. If I had to do it all over again, I could probably do it in 2 hours, but if Im being honest, I procrastinated on the install for four months because I was so intimidated by it. I did it all by myself and Ive never really done plumbing before. I am fairly handy though with tools and building things.

My family and I noticed the different in the quality of water in our house when my husband and son installed the ispring water filter. We just purchased a house, which has an old lead pipe connecting the house to the water-main 9 feet deep. My husband and son are engineers and selected purchasing the ispring water filter in lieu of excavating,installing shoring, filing and paying for permits, experiencing 4 inspections, obtaining sign offs from DEP and the Bldg. Dept. to have save potable water throughout the entire house. I recommend this product for any household seeking safe water to consume throughout their entire house.

I was desperately in need of a whole house filter system on our well water supply. There’s no bacteria but, since recently moving into the home, we have had bad smells and red rust stains. Initially, I was able to flush the well long enough to remove the bulk of the rust particles which made the water literally red. I also replaced the filter media in the water softener, which after 17 years or so, was black, nasty and ineffective. However, while a glass of water now appeared nice and clear straight from the tap, overnight the water turned a brown color as the dissolved iron “rusted” out of solution. The iSpring system seemed to fit the bill. I’ve now got the system up and running.Disappointingly, when the system arrived, one of the blue filter housings was broken internally. Theres a small cylindrical molding in the bottom of the housing that appears to be heat-welded in place. It was broken off. The filter element inside was still in its wrapping, which is pierced by the molding when the element is pushed into the housing for shipping. It seems that that process broke off the cylinder. A call to iSpring on the Wednesday got a replacement housing on order. When it arrived the next week, it was a completely different housing! Contacting iSpring again and sending photos of the required housing had another one on its way - thanks to Nick. (iSpring are very easy to work with and very reactive).This time it was the correct one, but it cost about a week and a half in time. I now have some big housings that Im sure I can find a use for in my workshop as storage! The time delay was not a problem as I had to order a special fitting from TrueValue. I went with Sharkbite fittings and PEX tubing for ease of assembly. Unfortunately, a 1" male thread to a 3/4" Push To Connect fitting is not available in any hardware stores. My systems connection points are 3/4" CPVC and 3/4" copper tubing. That fitting took as long as the housing to come!The Sharkbite approach essentially doubled the cost of the filter system itself, (total parts cost ended up at $907), but saved time and allowed for some easy redesign/refinement as the installation progressed.I suggest you use thread sealant on the NPT threaded fittings. I had a couple leaks at the final test that required sealant to stop them. I have always had trouble with PTFE taped joints and should have used the sealant from the get-go. The Sharkbite Push To Connect fittings worked perfectly first time - impressive. Other reviewers mention the joint between the two filter heads leaks. I didn’t see that (yet), though having removed the bracket the joint could rotate without too much effort.I did have some copper tubing to make up from the accumulator to the WGB22BM, made more complicated as I am adding a spur to later put in an outside faucet, fed directly from the well. Cutting and soldering takes much longer than PEX!I fitted the WSP-50 sediment strainer upstream of the WGB22BM to pre-filter out the well water’s larger particles. The instructions suggest you can screw it directly into the first filter head of the WGB22BM as it has a 1" male thread. However, to do this the mounting bracket has to be removed because the strainer body interferes with it before the joint is tight. I tried to loosen the bolts and slide the slotted bracket over, but it was too tight. The reason was that the slots in the metal bracket dont actually match the holes in the filter heads! The slots are out of position and the slots edge actually sits in the bottom of the thread in the self-tapping bolts - disappointing design / quality issue that could have been addressed. Having removed the bracket, I then found the sediment filter bottomed out in the filter head before getting tight enough! A quick trip to the store for a 1" male-male nipple and a 1" female-female adapter. This time the sediment strainer fitted OK, though that was the location of the later leaks.I added pressure gauges to each side of the filter system to tell if the elements are blocked and need replacement. I have a 50-35 psi well pump pressure and see no noticeable drop in pressure across the system with clean elements and the tub faucet open.I also added a 3/4" - 3/4" - 1/4" stop tee to be able to sample the water after the filter system and before the water softener.I didnt fit the filter elements until after Id tested the system and addressed the couple leaks at the threads.Note that you will need Silicone grease (per iSpring) to lubricate the element housing threads and O-rings (instructions say DO NOT USE PETROLEUM JELLY). Fortunately, I have a tube of that grease (Thanks to Harbor Freight).Now the system is up and running, its doing what was intended - removing the bad odor as well as the dissolved and sediment rust from our well water. The water is crystal clear and tastes great. The water softener was removing a lot of the rust, but that reduces the life of the media inside the softener and doesnt help with the smell and taste.I will be doing a water quality test in a few days after the system has settled down and the hot water tank is flushed through with clean water and will update this review.My only concern is how long the filters last. The sediment strainer is working well and is so easy to drain the particles out into a bucket. The Carbon and Iron elements arent cheap (~$130-150) and replacing them too often is not going to be an easy pill to swallow. "Replace every 3 to 6 months" per iSpring isnt going to work for me. That’s too loose a guideline. I’ll use the pressure gauges and a water quality test kit, probably taking the system just beyond its filtering capability to minimize cost.UPDATE: After a day or so, the water is very clean. Unfortunately, I only had one set of test strips left from my “LabTech H20 OK” kit which I used a couple months ago to test the well water. I would have preferred to test the water at the well, just after the filters and after the water softener at the same time. However, the tap water is the most important test.Here are the results in PPM’s. The first reading is the well water, the second is the tap water after the WGB22BM and the water softener…Total Hardness: 100 0Total Chlorine: 0 0Alkalinity: 40 40pH: 6 6Nitrates/Nitrites: 0 0Copper: 1.0 0.6Iron: 5 0So, the system is doing exactly what I wanted. Awesome!

Performs as expected. Taste and smell of water greatly improved. Very satisfied with this product.

Has a leak in the fitting between the filters, but does decrease the sulfur smell and the chlorine content.

LOVE this system. We have a great city water system so this small iSpring is perfect. Our plumber did a fabulous job installing it as well. It is just what we needed to enhance the job done by our fridge, Kangen water machine and Aerus laundry Pro! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
