iSpring UVF8 LED UV Water Filter, Add-on Kit for Under Sink Water Filtration Systems, Mercury-Free, Stainless steel

The water tastes amazing and fills faster than my fridge dispenser. (although it's not "fast" by any means, it's more than sufficient.) Now that it's installed, I wish I would have installed it years ago. Nitrate levels are high in Iowa and this unit lowers them to near zero, along with removing other harmful contaminates.The part that held me back for so long was drilling a hole in my granite countertop. It ended up being not bad at all. Just buy a quality diamond drill bit made for stone/granite and watch a few videos on youtube. I bought the Milwaukee 1/2 inch diamond bit and it worked flawlessly. 1/2 inch is the right size for the faucet that comes with this unit.As far as other complaints or concerns from the reviews:I didn't have any leaks at all after installing. Take your time and make sure connections are tight.Install overall took about 2 hours including drilling the hole in the countertop. What took me so long was my own fault- I ended up having to remove my dishwasher and pull the power cord through the hole in the cabinet where the dishwasher had power. I didn't think about how the open power outlet with the garbage disposal only works when the switch is on.Noise: it makes a bit of noise while you're dispensing water, but it's not loud at all under the sink. I barely hear it.Size: the unit isn't small but doesn't take up that much space under the counter.Overall I highly recommend this unit. I've only had it a few days but so far it's been amazing.

Unfortunately this did not work with my filtration system but was very excited to receive this product due to the amount of benefits it holds. It is a great size product that won��t take up space but installation was difficult to figure out and the instructions weren��t easy to follow.

Firstly it's super easy install. It's a total DIY job. Unlike those old school bulbs it uses LEDs. That's mean no mercury and no warm up time. Better for the planet. And what is important it's made of stainless steel so it won't rust out under your sink.

This is a plug-and-play for the water filtration systems. Very easy to install with clear instructions. Good quality with a nice simple design.

I had a difficult time getting this to install. It requires a power source and that was limited under my sink. It doesn't make noise and doesn't take up much room. I used zip ties to hold it against the pipe to keep it out of the way.

The iSpring water system with LED UV adds an extra layer of protection to your water without affecting its taste. The UV LED does not change minerals softness or flavor �� it simply works to neutralize bacteria and microorganisms which gives real peace of mind.What I appreciate most is knowing that the water is additionally treated while still tasting the same as before. It feels like a quiet but important upgrade to everyday water quality.Inside the box everything needed for installation is thoughtfully included along with mounting brackets which makes setup more organized and convenient. There are also clear installation videos available on YouTube making the process much easier to understand even without prior experience. Compact size.Overall this system feels reliable well thought out and easy to trust �� focused on safety not altering the water itself.

I recently added the iSpring UVF8 to my existing water filtration system and the installation was a breeze. The 1/4 quick connect fittings made it truly 'plug and play' no leaking and no tools required. What I love most is the LED technology; unlike traditional UV bulbs it only turns on when the water is flowing which means it doesn't heat up the water sitting in the line. It��s a compact reliable way to ensure my family��s drinking water is safe from bacteria and viruses. Highly recommend.

I��m so impressed with the iSpring UVF8 LED UV Water Filter! Installing it as an add-on to my under-sink system was incredibly easy thanks to the quick-connect fittings��no special tools or plumber needed. I love that it��s mercury-free and energy-efficient and knowing it can last up to 55 years without bulb replacements is such a relief. It gives me complete peace of mind that my family is drinking clean safe water every day. I can��t recommend it enough to friends and relatives looking for a simple long-lasting upgrade to their water filtration system!

This UV water filter has a clean professional look once installed sitting neatly inline beneath the sink with a sleek stainless-steel body that blends seamlessly into the plumbing. The compact cylindrical design keeps everything organized and uncluttered while the secure fittings and tidy power line give it a well-engineered high-quality feel.Energy & Efficiency:It��s energy-efficient drawing minimal power while running continuously so you get round-the-clock protection without noticeable impact on electricity use.Performance & Filtration:The UV system delivers strong consistent performance effectively neutralizing bacteria and microorganisms as water flows through��no chemicals no change in taste just clean safe water every time.Assembly & Installation:Assembly is straightforward and solid. It installs inline with standard fittings feels sturdy once mounted and doesn��t require bulky housings or frequent adjustments.Noise Level:Completely silent in operation��no humming vibration or flow noise��making it perfect for under-sink or cabinet installations.Overall it feels like a quiet powerful upgrade to your water system: low-maintenance high-performance and effortlessly reliable. ???

I have spent a ridiculous amount of time researching RO system over the past few years and finally pulled the trigger and bought this one. In short, I'm glad I did!We already have a whole house filter and our refrigerator also has a drinking water filter. Myself, I wasn't overly concerned about using that water, but with all the talk about all the chemicals and crap that's in our water, my wife decided so would no longer even drink that water and turned to drink bottled spring water, which has nano plastics in it and produces all that plastic waste from all those bottles. So, in light of all that, I decided that now was the time to get an RO system.Having experience with the typical RO systems that have the tank and all the tubing running everywhere, I knew I wanted a tankless system. They're also so much more efficient and produce much more water and take up far less space. I spent several more weeks going back through all the options and finally narrowed it down to two systems; the Waterdrop G3, and this iSpring RO500AK-BN, with the iSpring being the clear winner for a number of reasons.First, the company is amazing and they are located near Atlanta, where we live. Whenever I've called to ask questions, they just pick of the phone and are so helpful and personable. Michelle answered all my questions and I felt confident I was getting a system that met our needs. I absolutely love iSpring and feel that I will always have top-notch support for this product, should I ever need it.Secondly, I love that this system has the remineralizer built in, so you don't need to add an additional filter inline. This makes filter changes so simple and reduces connection points. This was important to me, knowing that my wife could easily maintain the system herself if she ever needs to.Those were the main reasons that stood out before I got the system. Now that we have it installed and have been using it for a while, I find many more reasons why I'm happy we chose this one.It's super-easy to install and comes with everything needed, provided that you have an electrical outlet located where you plan to install this. You do not need to be a plumber to install this. If you don't have an existing outlet, you will need to install one (or have an electrician do it, if you're not able to.) Luckily, we already had power under the sink for the disposal, so I had no problems converting the hard-wired disposal to a half-hot outlet, which now controls the disposal via the existing switch and provides a hot outlet for the RO system.All the parts and materials are extremely high quality.The system is super-quiet when operating! Seriously, I can barely hear it if the room is completely quiet. I've read that others are quite noisy; not this one.It takes up almost no space in our cabinet! (Still have room for all the crap that was in that cabinet.)Operation is simple and intuitive. It has color-coded indicators that show filter status, as well as audible alerts when filters are nearing end of life and/or need changing.Changing filters is as easy as it gets and takes literally 10 seconds. The design of the filters is also so much better than on traditional RO systems, where I've often had the main O-rings go bad, leaks, etc. These should never have any of those problem because of they way they're designed.The included faucet is high quality and beautiful! It's listed as 'brushed nickel', but it blends perfectly with our stainless steel faucet, so I think it's more of the blend of brushed nickel and stainless. IDK, but it just looks very nice!The flow rate is amazing and even faster than our fridge water dispenser. It can also produce up to 500 gallons of water per day and the flow rate is continuous, unlike typical RO systems that slow down to a trickle when the tank runs out.It has a 2:1 pure to drain ratio, compared with 1:2 or 1:2.5 of a traditional RO system.And, most importantly, it produces the best tasting water I've ever had!All things considered, this is the best system I've seen in the $500-ish price range. You get a lot of bang for the buck with this one and exceptional quality and support. I actually like it better than some I've seen that are closers to $800-$900, which still don't have all the features of this one.Also, mine included a card to register for a 3-year extended warranty, which is really nice and added piece of mind. If you buy one, be sure to register it. I was getting an error when trying to register on their website, but I was told to just send an e-mail request and Sean responded the same day to advise that my warranty was registered. (Did I mention how helpful the iSpring folks are?)All things considered, I highly recommend this system and iSpring as a whole. I paid for this system and received no compensation for this review. In fact, I passed up on a couple of similar systems that were offered to me for free and instead decided this was what I wanted and purchased it myself.

I recently purchased the iSpring RO500AK, and the water quality has been fantastic. Unfortunately, my unit experienced a minor malfunction, but the way iSpring handled it made all the difference.A huge shoutout to Nick in customer support, who was absolutely amazing! He walked me through the troubleshooting process quickly, politely, and ensured my machine will be replaced. Product issues can happen with any brand, but finding customer service this responsive and helpful is rare.I highly recommend the RO500AK and wouldn't hesitate to recommend buying from iSpring to anyone looking for a reliable water filtration system!

The customer service alone makes this product an absolute must buy. It works well, easy to install, yummy water, great filtration, no leaking. We use it so much we were getting an error (incessant beeping) and immediately Nick proceeded to send us a tank kit to solve this. Very exciting! Thank you Nick!

I had an RO system with a tank, but I kept having minor issues. My plummer friend Kevin recommended this product. He was particularly pleased that it removes alkaline.I just followed the directions for installation. It was easy to install with no leaks on the first try. Though, I had Kevin check out my work just to be sure. It is about the size of a slim desktop computer and fits nicely against the side wall of the sink cabinet.I really like that it is tankless, so filtered water is immediate and always available. This becomes important in winter since I use humidifiers that call for purified water.It was much more expensive than the previous system, but as in all things, you get what you pay for.

My RO system had an iSpring UVF 11 installed with it for several years when one of the connectors broke off causing it to leak. After mopping up all the water I called iSpring and talked with Nick who advised me to purchase the newer UV filter the UVF8 which uses LED technology and instead of having to replace the lamp annually I would not have to change it but every 10 years or so. I am not a plumber nor an expert in these matters but Nick assured me that I could make the swap myself. The system is working well now and the water is excellent. The light showing it is working glows blue and I'm told when it quits that is the time for a change.

I have been using the RO500AK-ORB system for two years so far. Excellent results! Very pleased! I highly recommend!Here is a report of before and after measurements plus some comments of my experience with it. To make my measurements, I used the KONVIO NEER 5-in-1 TDS meter. I did 2-point calibration of the concentration as well as the pH before each measurement.TDS of tap water before RO was 240 ppm. With RO is 19 ppm.The taste is great. Flow rate is strong. Cartridge replacement is easy.I am also using the FA15 alkaline add-on filter for the purpose of raising Mag level and pH.Initially it produced an unpalatable earthy taste, however this resolved completely after flushing for 15 minutes. This is an important step. Tastes great now.Here is the information that I received from an iSpring chemist by email:The average ppm rating for the FA15 is 10 to 40 ppm and approx. 30% of the 10 to 40 avg. is magnesium.The RO500AK only adds back calcium, unlike the FA15 which contains magnesium oxide.The FCA500 has only activated carbon and calcite.In my own case, the rise in TDS with the alkaline filter was from 19 to 36. This is an increase of just 17, not as high as I was hoping. My interest was in restoring magnesium level, since Mag in water >8-10ppm has been shown to correlate with better cardiovascular health. Based on information from my local water facility, my river source carries 11ppm Mag to start with, so I was hoping to replenish that Mag level with the alkaline filter. With a rise of 17 ppm, this means I added only 5ppm of Mag.Additionally, I was hoping for a rise of pH level, since there are claims that alkaline water is healthier because of enhanced water absorption, hence hydration efficiency. Not sure if those claims are well founded or not. In any case, my pH rose from 7 to 7.3, which is much less than the 1 full unit of pH increase that is being advertised.I absolutely love the RO filtration system!Less enthusiastic about the performance of the alkaline filter, but it's an add-on that is optional anyway.

This is a well-built, high-quality, and fairly-priced reverse osmosis system. It came with very clear instructions and was simple to install. No leaks. Pressure as advertised.But what wasn’t advertised is the noise. When you turn this on to draw water from the faucet, it hums quite loudly. Thankfully, this is down below behind the closed doors of my kitchen counter. But opened up, this would be obnoxiously loud. Also, when you draw water and turn the faucet off, exactly 5 minutes later it will run again to discharge water and clean the membrane from a filter. This runs for a full 60 seconds and makes both the humming sound and the discharge sound in the drain.I’m very happy with this unit and the water quality is amazing. However, the noise was something not made available as a purchasing decision.

This product was not able to be set up in my home so unfortunately I was not able to test out the efficacy. However I love the idea of the product and it��s ultimately my fault that I couldn��t actually use it. I do plan on gifting it to a family friend that will be able to use it. I will say that the product came wrapped very nicely and it��s so small that I was impressed by all of the things that it��s able to do! I think if you are in the market for a good water treatment option this would be a great option at a good price point!

My water tasted so much better I actually didn��t realize that water could taste different. The power quality of the water was great it didn��t slow it down. Seemed to be compatible with my water line.
