Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of New Wave Enviro Premium 10 Stage Water Filter System
Customer Review: Get the right filter for your needs, and be happy
Summary: 5 Stars
This filter is great! I have used several different brands over the years, and this is by far the best I have used. I suspect that only the General Ecology home filter is better, but have not had the fortune to try that yet.
A few notes: If you have hard water, a water filter will not magically clean the water. That is just silly. When I lived in Vegas, the filter improved the taste, but I still purchased distilled water refills. In Richmond, VA and Rochester, NY, the water comes out bottled water quality or better.
Another point is to not think that TDS means anything. TDS means the total dissolved solids, such as salts in the water. The Brita may outperform this filter in removing dissolved solids due to the ion exchange resin. That does not mean that the stuff you REALLY want out is out. This filter is far superior to the Brita, although it is not a taste neutralizer.
If your water is of acceptable taste right out of the tap, get this filter and love it. If you simply cannot drink your tap water, stay away from all filters.
Customer Review: I spoke too soon - not a 5 star - maybe a 2-3 star
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally gave this 5 stars but after 2 months it stopped working. We cleaned the filter as directed but it still wasn't taking the lime/calcium out of the well water even though it wasn't even close to the 600 gallon suggested replacement level. I purchased a replacement filter anyway but that didn't last any longer than the first filter. I don't know if it's because this water is so bad but that was the reason I purchased it; it said it was specifically for bad water. I can't seem to change it from a 5 star though. Here was my original review.....
It was so easy to set-up and the water pressure is pretty good. I use it to fill gallon jugs for coffee & drinking. The $55 cost of the replacement filters is great considering .79 per gallon at the store x 600 gallons is about $475. The only surprise was on inital set-up; requires running clean water thru for several minutes then letting it set for 24-hrs. So far it seems to be worth it.
Customer Review: awesome product - very well made
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome product. Mine works perfectly, and is very well made. Like everything mechanical, you need to treat it with reasonable care and it works great. To people who are breaking the little "on" knob valve: the instructions tell you very clearly and very specifically DO NOT PUSH VALVE IN TO STOP THE FLOW OF FILTERED WATER - or you will wear out the knob valve prematurely. Obviously that is true, so DON'T DO IT. It's a very minor thing to adapt to, after a couple uses I automatically turn water off at sink. Also the instructions very clearly say DON'T RUN HOT WATER THROUGH IT, if done repeatedly filter will wear out prematurely. So don't do that either. This unit is very compact and sits nicely on the back of my tiny apartment kitchen sink. The filtered water spigot swivels to wherever you need it to, it's very convenient. Water tastes great and is much safer for you health. I love mine.Customer Review: A million times better than bottled
Summary: 5 Stars
I HATE tapwater. I will NOT drink it! I grew up on springwater, and the taste of chlorine is disgusting to me. So, before I got this wonderful gadget, my husband and I would take turns driving to the organic super market and filling up our 5 gallon jug and then lugging it home, sometimes three times a week! Needless to say, that got old fast!
When I bought this I was very skeptical that it would work. However, it performs FLAWLESSLY, and makes water that tastes just as good if not better than bottled. I drink loads more water now that I don't have to worry about running out. Easy set up, easy use- the most complicated thing about it is remembering to let the water get cold first before you turn it on if you were running the hot water first.
If you hate your tap water, GET THIS PRODUCT! You will not be disappointed!
Customer Review: Affordable and Well Designed
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my New Wave 10-stage water filter system for about 12 years, and I love it. It's an affordable, effective, green product that does what it's supposed to. Occasionally I have to replace the diverter valve, but they're about $10. You also don't absolutely have to replace the valve if it breaks, you just shut off the filter manually if you don't feel like replacing it. Other than that, and a thorough soak in bleach occasionally and cartridge replacement, it's maintenance free. Another great bonus is that the New Wave Enviro people provide excellent customer service. When I moved into a new home and needed an adapter that I must have lost years ago, they sent one no charge. You wouldn't get that service at a BMW dealership, never mind for a filter that's under $100.
