Seems like a good price on a decent filter, but if you have the room, I'd stick to a standard 2-3 stage 10" filter system that takes universal filters. Like razors, they don't get you with the initial setup, they bleed you with the high priced, replacement media. Standard 10" filters should be at or below $5/ea.

While in general I agree, the filter is supposed to be good for 16k gallons. Even if I only got 1k gallons, it would end up being $0.085 per gallon of drinking water. And that's including the filter, holder and faucet that came with my kit.
Yes, it will go much quicker if you plumb it to filter your sink faucet instead, but why wash dishes with filtered water?

I think most of the standard 10" filter literature quote 10k-13k gallons, so I wouldn't expect a big difference in longevity, just a significantly lower (comparative) price point. I know that a ~$30 difference stretched over months isn't going to amount to much, but it is something, and this is Slickdeals. I can completely understand the convenience of a single quick-change filter being wroth the $30/year difference to someone, but I would be more concerned with availability of any proprietary filters. Granted, $60 isn't exactly a huge amount to lose for a filter, housing, and pluming, if you had to switch later on, so I could see both sides of the argument here.

For this price, you should consider getting a reverse osmosis system which will remove all of the un-needed stuff in the water. This one does not remove solids in the water that's why it does not lower TDS rating (total dissolved solids). With an osmosis system, your TDS can drop down to 0-12 versus 200-300 from faucet water.

People in Orlando Florida needs this. Their water is AWFUL.
I'm not in FL. But my cold tap smells like chlorine. Hot side is fine. I can't drink it out of a glass because I just get a nose full of chlorine smell, but, afaik, the smell is supposed to come from flashing. Meaning, its actively killing organisms or in contact with organic material, so I'm slightly concerned. lol

I have a WD-15UB, which is the same thing but with a dedicated faucet and have really liked it.

Going to get a other one for the Orange county house,. use OC has garbage water.
Also, put in one under the sink, however have it split and going to a separate "drinking water" faucet.
Maybe I just got a faulty filter. It is so slow that it takes more than 2 mins to fill a glass of water.
