Ive had this system in daily use for about 6 months now, used on average for 2-3 gallons per day. The water tastes good. I bought a TDS meter to verify operation and Im getting 250ppm in my tap water and 19ppm from the filter (consistently throughout its life). I then checked my parents (other brand) RO system and with all new filters and membrane it gets about 50ppm at best. Is mine better? Probably. Time will tell on longevity, but the specs speak for themselves.The pH raising addition is a nice touch, my filtered water pH is definitely higher than tap (about 7.6 vs 6.8). Is that necessary? Im not sure.That said, this filter uses all 1/4" lines (the smaller size). Some other brands use a larger line for the facet (3/8" probably), resulting in a much faster flow, which is nice, but not strictly necessary.
