comment
" ...  Almost all the water my family drinks comes from the refrigerator, so I wanted to install this behind there. ... While this saves a marginal amount of space, it makes it difficult to cut the tubing to the right size, line the 90 degree fittings up to one another, and fit them together while trying to snap them into the jumble of other filters.  ...  "

comment
" ...  When changing the filters, you have to pull the hoses out of the push connectors (don't lose those tiny blue horseshoe clips) so you can unscrew the plastic 90 degree adapters. ... Also, it's quite easy to cross thread the fittings while taking them off an old filter and putting them on a new filter, which causes major leaks and a trip to the hardware store again.  ...  "

comment
" ...  This necessitated a booster pump between the RO unit and the faucet (more than 15 feet away). ... The whole house filter trapped all of the sand and prevented it from passing into our soft water unit, hot water heaters, RO unit, and cold water system.  ...  "

" ...  Don't screw up, because for some reason the supplied hoses are ever so slightly different sized than the hardware store's 1/4 polyethylene tubing. ... While this saves a marginal amount of space, it makes it difficult to cut the tubing to the right size, line the 90 degree fittings up to one another, and fit them together while trying to snap them into the jumble of other filters. ... My tips: I've found it easiest to leave the plastic sleeve with the label on the polishing filter and the alkaline cartridge, because it gets confusing when you're trying to put the jumble back together and can't remember which way the water is flowing. ... Finally, to help cure the jumble, I designed and printed clips like the ones that hold the RO filter (with a screw), but sized for the other filters.  ...  "
