Having our house water supply fed from a well the taste of our water left something to be desired. After a bit of research we decided on the Waterdrop under sink filter purchased from Amazon. This video walks through the contents of the box and shows how quickly and easily it can be installed with minimal tools.

We are very happy with the outcome and the taste of our water now. We use it to fill our Opal countertop ice maker, Kuerig coffee maker, pots for cooking, and tons more. If you’re thinking about purchasing an under sink filter this might just do the trick for you.
