I installed the iSpring PH100 Reverse Osmosis system in my basement under the kitchen sink area because we did not want to use up the space in my sink cabinet; additionally I wanted to hook it to my refrigerator water dispenser and ice maker. I wrote an earlier review here but wanted to add that I installed the UV kit to add on to this unit to kill any microorganisms that may be in our water. I have city water, so they say the UV light is not really necessary, however once in a while if a city pipe breaks, there is a “boil water alert” for a few days; this addition should protect us from that sort of issue. I also had great support from iSpring several times when I called with technical questions regarding hooking up to my refrigerator along with my cold water kitchen faucet instead of the supplied chrome faucet. We did not want to drill another hole in our marble counter top. Earlier I was concerned about the ¼” tubing size on the UV unit limiting my overall water flow to the refrigerator and kitchen sink, however the flow was not significantly reduced. Our kitchen faucet (cold) fills a 16oz. measure in 9 seconds; our refrigerator water dispenser fills 16oz. in 23 seconds, but this might be caused by our refrigerator carbon block filter (our house water pressure is 70) if I replace it with a pass through unit ( no filtering) flow should go up significantly.
