They are. one of them is liek $40 and another i believe is $95. The good news? I haven't replace a filter and my unit still spits out 12 TDS/PPM water. so unless you're using an insane amount of water, i think the filters will last you awhile. When i installed my unit, I put a $20 inline TDS meter so i can see what it's spitting out. Here [amazon.com].

Regular RO filters simply use water pressure to operate.

2:1 is more efficient than 1:1 despite what others may have posted.

Got a link? Also if it's not OEM I wouldn't bother. TDS is not the only indication of quality unless it is reading zero.

Tempted, but the only power under my sink is for the disposal. Needing an active plug under the sink kills it for me.
Had the same issue. So I wired my disposal to one air pressure buttons (super common for this setup) which you can buy on amazon. Here [a.co]for example.

You would need a variable speed drill and diamond hole saw bit. Just remember to use light pressure and keep it wet with water so it doesn't overheat.

They need to expand the faucet color selection (eg, black and gold). Having a silver faucet with another color combo is diabolical! If they do expand, I would've bought one a looooong time ago.
It is an additional cost, but they do have other colors available. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX4THBJ2

I have had the Waterdrop G2P600 and its a nice little unit although I wish I had stocked up on filters before tariffs seem to have doubled their price over the last couple years.

I own this one. I had a APEC old school unit previously. Water comes out very slowly from this one in comparison. I heard they addressed this with the newer units.

Also, the G2 is NOT NSF/ANSI Standard 58 certified, which means it does not remove fluoride as much as the certified units, maybe ~85-95%. To reach that 1:1 drain ratio, the G2 likely uses a "looser" membrane or operates at a pressure where it doesn't reject quite as many ions as a 2:1 system would - this is the compromise.

The Waterdrop G5P500 is 500 gallons per day (vs G2 400 GPD) and NSF/ANSI Standard 58 certified, but has a 2:1 drain ratio at a similar price point:

https://a.co/d/0fqFrGxw

If I could do it over, I would go for 100% flouride free drinking water over the 1:1 ratio - unless I lived in California, of course.
So you're saying the filtration is better on the G5P500, especially flouride? How does the flow rate compare on each? I am comfortable with the extra loss being 2:1.

I also think the G5P500 for $189 is a better deal than G2 unless you really care about water waste. G5P500 is 2:1 and G2 is 1:1 (less water waste)
