SimPure Y7T-BW-C Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter, NSF/ANSI 58 Certified, 100GPD 5 Stage Water Filtration System with Taste-Enhancing Glass Pitcher, Water Purifier for Home, No Installation

Great water filter once we got the kinks worked out!Got this RO system through Vine and have been using it for about a month now. Honestly, it's been a bit of a journey but I'm really happy with where we ended up.The Good Stuff FirstThis thing was SO easy to set up - I'm not handy at all but literally just took it out of the box and it was ready to go. Fits perfectly under our kitchen cabinets and doesn't take up much counter space. The water tastes incredible compared to our tap water, and I tested it with some strips I had - went from 150 TDS down to 20, which is pretty impressive.The flow is great too - no waiting around forever for a glass of water like some filters I've tried. Just turn it on and it fills up fast.The Bumpy StartHere's where it gets interesting... At first I was getting these weird particles in the water - some white bits and black specks that would settle in my kettle. I flushed it like crazy thinking maybe it just needed to be cleaned out, but they kept coming. I was honestly pretty frustrated and ready to give it a mediocre review.Plot Twist - Amazing Customer ServiceBut then I reached out to the seller and WOW - they immediately sent me a replacement filter, no questions asked. That's the kind of customer service that really makes a difference.Happy EndingWith the new filter? Perfect. Crystal clear water, amazing taste, no particles. We use it for everything now - coffee, cooking, drinking. My family has totally converted from bottled water.Would definitely recommend this, especially knowing the seller actually cares if you have issues. Sometimes you get a dud part, but when a company makes it right like this, that's what matters.

First just for clarity of my review - This is my first water purifier I've ever owned.I live off well water in Texas. Thus would never trust or want to drink it as when I did a quick 'taste test' it just did not taste right.Also, noticed that if you look in your toilet bowel you might see some sediment sitting there - this is a good place to check, btw. Well, it was sand from over time.So I ordered an electronic water (ppm water tester) tester. Wanted to see what this well water would come in at. From what I understood is that if you score 40 or lower, then it's drinkable.My water straight from the tap came in at 849. Ouch!So I knew I needed a solution and my continued path of just buying bottled water is not it.I picked up this device and proceeded thru the setup which was very easy and fast to get the machine ready to take on water.Once you get the machine ready it needs to go thru a flush cycle which was very easy to do. Just fill the back container with water and put a container in front and send water to it, just taking the water from the back thru the filtration system to the front. You do this a few cycles, but my bonus was that I could test my water coming out with this device to see that it's gotten to where I would like it to be.Btw, I also used my tester up against water taking directly from bottled water too. Wanted to see what I was drinking and what score.Once I've done around 3 cycles of water, I felt I was at the right spot.Remember I started at 849. Btw, I've tested my water out of the tap at different times and you will get different results when working off well water, which btw, most would say well water should be pretty clean. I would get different scores but all of them were above 600. Again, my target is under 40 to make it drinkable.Bottled water came in at 25.When I tested after the 3rd flush cycle, my score was 30! Yes, 30! Thus my subject line of wow, just wow!This device just works and works beautifully. And my taste can't distinguish the difference from my bottled water to drinking from this. I just take a picture, fill it up and put it in the fridge.So how does this do it? Well, it has two filters in the back that will process around 528 gallons of water before you need to change them.These two filters (CF & RO filters) are just part of it, it also has UV purification too. And that UV continues to keep the water safe that is sitting after the purification step from the filters. CF is a composite filter for sediment which I know I have lots of. RO filter is your Reverse Osmosis filter that will remove a large amount of different contaminants.The tank in the back hold 1.3 gallons.There are 3 buttons for 6 oz, 12 oz. and 15 oz. As well, a button for continuous flow - which is very handy when filling up a pitcher.And THIS device happen to have a lot of video reviews from many different types of people who were the ones that gave me the idea of having a test unit to validate their findings and thus this helped me confirm I was buying the right product for me.I've been using this unit for a few months now and I wished I would have found it years ago. It just does a great job in giving me clean / drinkable water without me continuing to waste money on buying bottled water.

I've had my SimPure for 15 months now. Here are my observations.I've seen negative reviews with people using water testers and getting negative results. My experience is just the opposite.Tap water - 109-129ppmBottled water - 29-32ppmSimpure - 9-13ppmI scratch my head at some of the one star reviews with complaints about things such as having to lift the reservoir to the sink to refill it. But of course you do, that's why you set it up next to the sink. If that's not possible, then maybe the SimPure isn't a good fit for your needs, but that's not the fault of SimPure and definitely not deserving of a 1 star review.Also, complaints about taking forever to filter the water and the amount of water filtered per container are not my experience at all. Once the reservoir is refilled, the filtering process takes about 4 minutes. Of course the amount of water you get is going to be less than you put in it because it's actually FILTERED. You pour the contaminated water down the drain whenever the unit tells you it's time to refill. I can get eight 16 oz. cups of filtered water between refills. I use it for drinking water, coffee and even my dog's water dish. In a household of 3 pretty heavy coffee drinkers, I have to refill the unit approximately every 1.5 days. For what I'm getting in return, I'm thrilled.The only weakness I've seen in the SimPure is that I believe it uses a predetermined number of uses before it flashes to change the filters. In my personal experience, the water purity levels remained the same for months afterward and I only replaced them when the levels started increasing. I would just reset the machine in the interim and it was like they never flashed at all.I live in an area with extreme PFAS contamination, due to a chemical plant next door that's been polluting the river with forever chemicals for decades. This reverse osmosis machine is a literal lifesaver for me and my family.This is hands down a machine worthy of 5 stars.
