undergravel filters are not used with plants as it promotes the type of organisms which decays all the roots. I don't think it would work well in only several inches of water

It would depend on the location and access. Typically if the filter access on the top one handed could work, as is mine. I have not tried accessing a filter on the side, or underneath.

I put under the sink. I have had it for several months now. Works great, no leaks.

Yes. Just remove the filter. Fill-up with water and then turn the entire unit upside down, in a sink. The pressure from the water causes the top section to fall out effortlessly.

Absolutely! The tray underneath fits right up against the lip on the sink so that it will drain right in. We are very happy with this purchase!

You can not use hot water with this filter. It is designed to attach to the faucet so under sink is not the best location.

Yes you can however I don't recommend hooking the system up that way bc if you or someone accidentally passes hot water through the membrane it will ruin the filter. I hooked the filter to the cold water supply under the sink with a T connection and ran the waste water line into the drain pipe. Very very easy to install and brought my water ppm's from 200-300 ppm to 0-5 ppms

Depending on the configuration of lines under your sink, but I would say yes if the lines are in the same area. You may need a splitter and that will mean a trip to Home Depot for some additional parts and and advise from an associate. If your Frig. does not have a filter system you can buy in-line filter systems for your Icemaker that are not that expensive. Good luck

i had an older sink that was installed above the counter, went to an undermount and as long as the sinks are the same size it shouldn't be a problem. I do not have any of the small pull down door that holds a dish cloth or other small items so did not have to deal with that. I would only install an undercounter mount sink from now on. I do not know if you need any extra supports for your undermount or not. I also had a garbage disposer installed at the same time.

We have ours mounted under the sink and while the filter unit mounts on the wall, the tank sits on the cabinet floor. The unit takes over half of our under the sink space. There is not enough tubing to mount in the basement.

Hi Nilehorse, This system is for portable use. It screws int a standard hose bib type connector. I put an adapter on the sink. This company also has 'point of use' type with a small tank. The 'point of use' type can go under the kitchen sink. You may be thinking about a whole house filter, which would go after the holding tank.

I had to look it up on YouTube. Go to youtube and lookup "Installing an Under Sink Water Filter System" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwCvH7TilsM

I don't think so. This is for the water resavour and it prevents the filter from molding.

We have a Moen Old World Bronze faucet with this sink. We undermounted the sink under granite...it looks great. Be aware though...if you have hard water this sink spots easily.

I suppose you could but I would think there were better solutions. This unit is pretty large and is designed to handle an entire RV. It may be a little overkill for your situation. You would need access to flush and recharge which might mean removal from under the sink from time to time.

Yes, invest in the converter kit for under the sink. It's very sleek. We removed our built in soap dispenser and it fit perfectly in that opening.
