Unit does not come with wrench to open unit in order to change filter. Package is generic brown box with 1 pg Watts Premier instruction sheet inside. The instructions indicated that a wrench may be required to open the housing (to change the filter). Believe me, a wrench will be needed. If unit performs as advertised, i won’t need to worry about the wrench for 6-months, but I’m still disappointed that a basic tool which i will need down the road was not included in this purchase.

I read all the wonderful reviews and for its price it was a terrific choice …at first. It’s very easy to install but after 6 months of use the water diverter valve no longer snaps back into place. But that’s minor.
Now after 6 months is time for the replacement filter. The wrench that’s needed to open the canister was not provided. Based on other recent reviews there’s no way to get it from Watts either. We don’t have a monkey wrench at home that’s large enough to fit around the entire canister.
I gave it a one-star because a good water filter shouldn’t be this difficult to replace a simple filter.
Either way I’m very disappointed that I now have to replace the entire unit after just 6 months of use.
Sidenote: I looked on the Watts website in Nov. 2009 and they still offered support for this unit. I looked in Jan. 2010 they no longer list this unit on their website. I wonder why?

I picked this product because as a renter I wanted an easy to install filter that I can take with me when I move. This is much better than the type you attach to the faucet itself as it is larger and will filter more water before needing to change the filter inside. I like that ANY 10 inch replacement filter may be used when it’s time to change it.
Water taste good with the whole house filter it came with, but when the time comes I’ll probably buy a better replacement filter that will remove more of the things you can’t see or smell.
Good as the under the sink type filters, but installs in seconds. Definitely a step up from Pure!

Our well has iron in it which isn’t removed completely by our reverse osmosis system. Water has a funny taste so we were still buying water for coffee, etc. Well, not anymore! This unit does the trick…and so easy to install. In less than 90 seconds we had great tasting water at our fingertips. Worth every penny………..

The water certainly tastes better than tap. It’s no ten-stage filter, but I’m not going to shell out the $130 for one of those. If I could, I probably would, but this one makes the water drinkable.
Also, the water diversion system is a little less than optimal, but it seems they all are.
