I'm planning to replace our countertop water filter with an undersink

The Filtrete under-sink filter looks like it would do the job and also
easy
to install. We have plastic plumbing lines, so that's a strong
consideration
from an installation perspective.

Any other suggestions?

Don't do it. I installed one as directed and it worked great for 3
months. Then the smooth plastic tube that connects to the water shut off
valve (held in place with a hard plastic ferrule) came lose in the middle
of the night. The resulting water damage amounted to over $20,000 in
repairs. A web search found a number people having the same problem.
It's just not worth the risk. Get a water filter pitcher instead.


I don't know about Filtrete but I've been using a RO system for about 8
years now. The water taste great. Like bottled water. Unbelievably good
coffee.

Real easy to install but you do need a hole in the sink for the tap.
