No more bottled water
Having grown tired of the bottled water scene; the expense, the drain on the environment from shipping and all the plastic containers, I was looking for a high quality product that was simple to setup. I also wanted something that I could take with me on extended trips to guarantee I always have high quality pure water available.
This product has thus far fit the bill. Reverse-osmosis is considered one of the best filtration systems available, filtering many more particles than charcoal, as well as many heavy metals and other elements frequently found in municipal water systems. While, I haven't used it anywhere other than my apartment, it was very easy to install and fits all of my current needs.
The only issue I have is that the dispenser spout attaches directly to the unit, making it difficult to store or mount out of the sight. However, it is considered a portable unit, and I'm sure that could be remedied by a trip to your local hardware store.

Sufficient water pressure required even for slow flow
I ordered this filter, which has no tank, knowing the water flow would be painfully slow, and that my house had to have enough water pressure (55 psi) to make it work. Other than the initial defective unit everything has worked out fine. It cleans up my water from 160's PPM to 20's PPM.
Words of caution: the installation diagram provided with each filter doesn't match the actual installation. And the two diagrams I have seen are also different. Then there's a third version from Crystal Quest's web site. Add to the actual installation of my working unit, which is different from all those three diagrams, I think Crystal Quest has a Texas size confusion in the making.
Does as advertised
Sits on the counter-top, spits out RO water at around 1.5 gallons per hour.
Tap water measures 380-430ppm
Initial RO water measures 32ppm, after standing for a short time drops to 17ppm.
Setup is pretty straight forward, you have to remove all the little bits of red plastic as the directions say. There's a red nipple in the drain hose that is difficult enough to pull out that it's not obvious it should be removed, but you must pull it out as well. Then just screw it into your faucet, flop the drain hose into your sink, and the spigot gives a decent stream of RO water.
Always use cold water for your RO filter. The initial ppm's will be lower with colder water (less salts and such are soluble in cold water) which is better on the filters. The flow is slightly faster with hotter water, but straining the membranes and possibly leeching the PVC isn't worth it.
The only thing that would make this product better is if the output spigot was a...
