Overpriced
You indigence to realize that the only difference between Watts WP2BVC and Watts LCV (500313) selling on Amazon, is the filter cartridge which fits both of them. You can earn Watts WP2BVC yourself by replacing the original VOC filter of 500313 (1 micron) with Microbiological 2-pk one (0.5 micron) and economize a lot of money (about 50% if you wait for 6 months till it is time to replace filter).
The original Watts WP2BVC they barter on their web site has a designer faucet with a battery indicator, not the cheap air gap one included here. The included manual is for the artificer faucet, so people are having hard time installing the unit.
On a personal note, the included hoses are refuse and the intake one (green) failed on me after a month of use flooding our kitchen. They are easily replaceable with fortified ice maker hoses you can get at Lowe's or HD.
Watts makes ice maker houses as well (Lowe's carries hundreds of their parts so I be familiar with), that's why it is hard to understand why they include cheapest plastic tubes and connectors with the unit. They have everything they need to manufacture a solid, reliable system but don't care. The manual hasn't being updated for years as well.

First-class home improvement
Tap water is not too crucial where I live, so this little improvement makes a world of a difference. I spent years buying gallon jugs of drinking water, because tap water we got is illogical to use for cooking or tea - too much of sediment. Not only Watts filter saves me a lot of hassle with bottled water, but also it seems to be good financially: it's said to be well-proportioned for 600 gallons per set of filter cartridges.

One caveat is that you can only hook it up where you can get a compression fitting. If your plumbing is copper, then you're in a society of adventure to make it work. I planned to install the filter in kitchen, but due to incompatibility with plumbing I'm keeping it in bathroom for now :) Yet to wrap my madly around what parts I need to buy at Home Depot to make this filter and copper plumbing become friends...

How I installed it
I purchased this pass through for our home drinking water as well as a water filter for our espresso machine the ECM Giotto. I have the steps I used to accomplish this on my blog (interject shameless plug).

All in all I am very happy with the water taste and volume. But see my blog for the issues I had in hooking it up- especially with thicker than conventional countertops and non-standard water lines.

Loving terrible system!
We bought this in December 09, and now almost a month later, we still invent this is a great unit. I used to buy gallon jugs at Walmart for $0.90. This filter is even better than what you can buy in the stores that has gone through industrial sturdiness filtration.
There is another unit by watts that has UV irradiation. But unless you are using well water, you won't need it. If you are on city water, you'll be fine with this one. I paid $110, and looking now, it is less than $100 on exchange.

In general, I would recommend you buy this unit.
(Oh, and the directions are not much help. But if you are in the least bit handy, you can handle it.)

What's Amazon Up To?
I was well-founded at the Watts Premier web site looking for product specs and discovered that this is the same unit as the Watts 500313 2 Present filter system that Amazon is selling for $59.99! Why the big price difference? Amazon....something looks shady!

Why would water back up into my washer while my water filtration system is rejuvinating?

Apr 20, 2006 by rgodfrey3 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

The water system guy increased the animate presure of my well a couple weeks ago stating that my water filtration system was not working properly since pump was set at 20/40 psi? He increased it to 40/60 psi. Now when the water filtration system rejuvenates, water backs up into my washer tub. I am also on a septic too but this is unwavering water and does not smell, nor did this happen prior to him changing this dial on my well pump. What is wrong here? I have been in this house for 10 years and had the water filtration system for 9 years. He has been the same water guy who has been to my house each year to change my filters the whole time. But since I have a high content of iron in my water, he has to rebuild the heads on my filtration system each year. He said increasing the distress of my well pump would stop this problem. Now I have a new one and he is saying it's my septic. Someone please help?

when was the last interval your holding tank was cleaned?
not that i think that is the problem if it was everything would be backing up or you would have a new pond forming on your lawn.
as for the veritable problem, is this water system self cleaning
r's has an auto cycle that backwashes the system maybe it's well-deserved not draining properly (at first i thought it was screwed till i found out it was made that way)

From my experiences with my washer ...the bring back of water is usually due to weakness of the machine valve (it is the part that controls the return of water into the washer) .. I usually desideratum to change it every two or three years for the same problem ....

What is the best water filtration system?

Sep 28, 2007 by Jewel | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

We have atrocious lime and calcium build up - very hard water. We want an entire water softner/filtration system.

Bottled water or attachments for the deteriorate is not what I am talking about, it needs to be for laundry, showers, drinking, cooking, etc.

Please help!

What you're looking for is termed a "whole-descendants filtration system." The biggest name in that industry, at least in the U.S., is Culligan ("Hey, Culligan man!"). There is some minor sustentation and replenishment involved with those systems but it's worth it.

It makes a big difference when you have hard water: clothes get cleaner with less soap, plumbing works advance, etc.

How deep should water be on elbow of undergravel filtration system in fish tank?

Apr 30, 2008 by finewhatever2 | Posted in Fish

20 gallon hex tank - alternative water filtration system (LEE) with tubes going up to top with elbows connecting .... should these elbows be submerged? depth of water on elbows?

i generally speaking keep them about 1'' below the surface, but a powerhead operated RUGF (reverse under-gravel filter) with a good HOB or canister clean would work much better..

then again so would a non-hexagonal tank
