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.

In case it matters to anyone, I just found out that Waterdrop is actually a Chinese company, and AI says:

"Waterdrop is described as a Chinese company with registered addresses in California and Colorado that ships products directly into Amazon iSpringWaterdrop. The company claims to be based in California but has no visible information about owners or US-based employees, with LinkedIn showing only China-based employees Waterdrop."

I am surprised this hasn't been discussed anywhere... does this have enough pressure and volume for a fridge ice maker?

Actually, I was mistaken in my previous post. 2:1 means 2 parts clean water to 1 part wasted water, so 2:1 is twice as efficient as 1:1.

The best modern RO purifiers are 3:1, like the $200 Stokk S2 that matches the specs of the much more expensive Waterdrop G3P800. It costs only $50 more to upgrade to this new unit than to buy replacement filters for my G2, so that's what I'm doing.

"The Stokk S2 800 GPD is a high-performance, budget-friendly system that offers double the water production of the Waterdrop G2. While the Waterdrop G2 is a well-established model known for long-term reliability, the Stokk S2 provides much better efficiency and more modern features for a similar price point." - AI summary
Can anyone chime in on the nsf certification? Stokk has nsf 42 vs 372 for this system

How is this Waterdrop model G5P500 for $189 not a better deal?
https://a.co/d/0iPvKZBq
Thanks for posting, this one is 100% a better deal. $2 more and uses half the amount of water. Everything else is the same.

I am new to all of this. House hold of 6 and we currently have a Zero water Dispenser with two filter in it. I have to replace the filters like every 4 months and these this are expensive! Would the G5P500 be a good option for us or does anyone know a better system to meet our needs. I am mostly concerned about micro plastics and PFAS. We have had our water tested in the past with no issues of heavy metals or Rust or sediment. We do have fairly hard water though. thanks

Will this be sufficient to filter well water? If not any suggestions?

Great price for this. I've wanted to get one but my city is installing a city-wide RO and I'm hoping it'll be good enough to avoid getting a personal one.

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.
Why would you want fluoride to be removed?

How long has it been since you haven't replaced a filter?

What's the point? DJI is a Chinese company, you think they don't make good drones? Roborock is a Chinese company, you don't think they make good robot vacuums? Don't fall for the anti-Chinese Washington machine.
