This wallet-friendly under-sink water filter is a great choice for those looking to upgrade their tap water with less investment. Each system is constructed of BPA-free and lead-free materials that are WQA or NSF/ANSI approved. It does a great job of reducing impurities such as lead, chlorine and heavy metals often found in tap water, and its filter has a maximum lifespan of 12 months. This equates to approximately 8,000 gallons.

What’s more, this particular under-sink filtration system has a push-to-connect design. This means it can be installed in just a few minutes, which is great news if you want to assemble it yourself. Each set includes an original stainless steel brush faucet with a fast and steady flow, so you don’t have to wait forever for the water to flow.

This choice is strongly recommended by nearly 2,000 Amazon reviewers, who have given this system a flawless five-star rating. One writes: “I had my handyman install it for me. It took him about half an hour. Either way, it looks great and the water tastes good. Also very affordable.”

Some people mention that they wish the instructions were clearer. Others share that in some cases it may be necessary to adjust the setup (such as using more washers).
