Have counter top filter since 1980s! Enviro 10 stage since 2005. Any pics of under-sink instillation and how easy is it to change filter under there?

We had our plumber install, as my husband is better with computers! Reading in the reviews about the problems and fix arounds others had to do lead to our decision plus we had other plumbing problems he was coming out for. It does take up about 1/4 of the space under the sink except for short stuff. Filter change: All you do is unscrew the white filter holder, replace filter and screw it back into place.

Sorry I am not very good at downloading picutres to a computer. I can tell you that I thought it best to have a professional plumber drill the hole necessary to fit the spout that came with my unit. The undersink mounting is fairly simple and you may or may not think it necessary to use mounting screws to support the unit, but rather leave it stand freely. If you make sure you have enough length on the inlet and outflow tubing, it will be rather simple to move the unit into position so you can unscrew the cover and remove the filter. I find it easier to remove the inlet and outflow tubes from the unit and just bring it out of the cabinet. To succinctly anwer your question, the process will provide some challenge but nothing most of us can't handle. 5 to 10 minutes should do it. Don't forget to turn off the supply valve that feeds the unit.

Mine was just installed and I suggest a plumber do it unless one is handy with such chores. The manual says to change the filter annually and I find them on the internet for about $12. I don't know if having hard or soft water effects the life of the filter.

The under sink one will be a little tricky to move. You'll probably end up making a trip to the hardware store to reconnect the faucet to your water supply once you remove the filter at your rental place. That being said I do love mine for every other reason.

Fred I wish I could help you. I have had my kit for 12 months now , just replaced the filter after 12 months. It was dirty but not bad. We have 2 cats and 2800 sq. feet of living space, a 22 year old standard furnace 80% eff. I am happy with the up grade. Can't really comment on Merv and strain on furnace.

you see the white plastic housing thats where the filter is. so you slide the top to the right and you can see the filter, its easy to change the filter. no major reassemble, it only took me like a 1 min to complete it.

I am sorry to read that you are having problems. Mine was very easy to install with a full turn. The placement of the filter at the beginning has to be right, then twist & lock; maybe you should try priming it in your sink. Good luck. It can also be defective.....

I did it awhile back, but it was remarkably easy. Took 5 minutes once I had the unit off the floor and cleaned up. As I recall, you just pull the old one out and install the new one. Water stay's in the bowl for weeks now, instead of minutes before the replacement. Sorry I can't be more specific and detailed. Don't be afraid of tackling it. Anyone can do it.

Still love the system. We changed the plastic adaptor with copper adaptors. I wouldn't recommend changing the tubing, it fits into the end and seals just so, but the other fittings you can make copper. Lowes helped us find the right fittings. We can taste the difference. Our water isn't really cleaned well here, it taste so much better and don't have to worry about our stomachs not racing well to the water anymore.

I love my 7- stage as- is. Wonder if those with bad taste need a filter changed.

Greetings ,,Turn water off from valve under sink generally qater turn shuts water. Double check by using frankie if no water comes out water is off. Blue plastic on top puch down twist silver capsule under off it will come then you need to screw off frankie filter. I wash my filters good with a new sponge and reuse they work perfect again. Way too costly to change every six to eight weeks. Lawrence@centurydirect.net

Changing the filter was easy. No major reassembly. I am talking about the pitcher model here, not the sink contraption.

We changed ours recently, but never really looked that close. The prefilter will be the dirtiest for sure, since air flows thru there first. The IQAir said it was time to change it so we did.

Very easy to change filters (hardest part is removing from water) - I rinsed filters out for about a year before replacing - how often depends on how much debris you have in your pond. Mine sits in deep shade and gets a lot of leaf debris; I changed out about 1 -2 x month. Warning: my pump stopped working after about 1 year and reviews are negative about the pump. Otherwise I was very happy with it while it worked.

I know the filter goes in between the grid, duh. Thats not my question. I have a green eco filter. What is the flow side?

The filter assembly goes under the sink and is very easy to change. You don't even have to turn off the supply line.
