Comments about 3M Filtrete Model 3US-PS01 Professional Faucet Water System:
This thing does the job, but I haven't had it long enough to comment on filter life. We have two adults in the household, so it ought to hold up to spec. Easy install, no leaks, but I don't care for the drop in water pressure from this deal, where the cold supply runs through the filter all the time. Larger connection hose size would help, but that's the compromise you face with this type, in exchange for a lower price. It's not a deal breaker, but it's noticeable.
BIG improvement in water quality for us. Takes out the chlorine taste and smell (that alone is worth it for me), and the cloudy appearance of the water which always came with summer and the addition of more chemicals from the water company. There's a slight metallic taste that still remains, but it's far less than before, and it's acceptable. Really improved tea and ice cube taste (you don't realize how much those cubes flavor drinks until you get a filter.)
Should help with sediments when the utility does its dreaded "mains cleaning", and the sediments stirred up by cleaning the pipes really affect the appearance of the water (perfectly safe to drink according to their yearly announcement; I wonder) 3M is a good manufacturer, and I trust their products; we use their Filtrete brand furnace filters too.
