Multipure Aquaversa Model MP750 Drinking Water System With Below Sink Kit and Chrome Faucet

When researching under-counter water filters, I read that Multipure had a cult following. Not a small following. Rather, a following of incredibly devoted (and occasionally rabid) customers. (I raised my eyebrow in skepticism.) The Aquaversa specifications indicated that the this model is adequate for the water where I live. Although users observed that the flow of filtered water is a bit slow and that the water meter is not standard with the Aquaversa, the rave reviews from cult members . . . I mean customers in areas with comparable city water were much stronger for this product than for similar filters. I decided to take the plunge. After hearing a few tales of improperly installed filters causing flooding, I sprang for a plumber to put the product in place. He suggested getting a faucet with a pull-down sprayer. This way the fountain could be be installed in the existing hole that had previously been used for the old-style sprayer. It also meant that he did not have to drill a hole through the sink and risk damaging it. The plan has the added bonus of looking better, too. The Aquaversa (along with the nifty, new faucet) was installed quickly and without a hitch. The filter takes up little room under the sink and removes easily from the bracket so that the filter can be replaced. We had been using a Drop filter, and it did a decent job of getting the chemical taste out of the city water. I plan on using it when I travel. There is no comparison between to the old and new water filters. The Drop water was a huge improvement over tap water, but it tastes like something from the Bog of Eternal Stench in comparison to the the water from the new filter. (Terms I would now use to describe the tap water cannot be used in polite company.) The Aquaversa is exponentially better. (As one would hope for the price.) The water is amazingly refreshing. I caught one child drinking directly from the fountain because it was so good. (Please bear in mind that this is a child who had previously refused to drink the water here because of the taste.) We use this water for everything we consume: drinking water, coffee, boiling pasta, etc. Everything tastes more like what it is supposed to taste like with the Aquaversa water. (My eyebrow has returned to it properly stowed position.) This is what water tastes like in my dreams. I drank the Kool-Aid . . . I mean the water. Come to the MultiPure side, we have water that will make your toes curl. (OK, that is a little strong. But it is REALLY GOOD WATER!) Hopefully newer models will have better water flow, and include a water meter as standard equipment. Even with those qualifications, I still have to give the Aquaversa 5 stars.

Very happy with this filter. Removes chlorine taste from tap water, just need a new filter every year.

From research and personal reviews, including a friend whose extended family all uses them, it seems like a fine product. The only complaint is the price which seems high for a 1 year / 750 gallon product. For example, their basic whole-house 6 year / 600,000 gallon Rhino product is often only $100 more than this point-of-use filter though you'd likely need to hire a plumber to install the whole-house filter system. And the filters themselves would likely outlast this single point-of-use filter significantly. After using this for a couple of years my biggest complaint is the hardware. The included faucet started to leak as many others have reported, and there's apparently no user serviceable parts in this faucet and it's definitely out of warranty after a couple of years. The various plastic connectors that are included seem overly thin and cheap, though none have broken or leaked on me. I haven't gone back and re-evaluated other product options but I wouldn't reinstall this particular product in the future. It's way too expensive for a single-use item. The replacement filters are expensive and only available directly via the manufacturer. The fact that the faucet already required replacement is super annoying and an additional expense.

Bought as part of a kitchen remodel. Selected based largely on Consumer Report review. My contractor liked it, said it was a solid unit, and that it was easy to install. He mainly does kitchen remodels, and has installed many, many filters. This was the first Multipure Aquaversa he had done. My only complaint is the faucet (the above counter part of the filter system). It wasn't 100% clear the filter even came with a faucet (an all to common problem of insufficient info with mail ordering in general); turns out it does. I had already ordered a faucet that matched our sink faucet and related items (all Delta). The faucet it came with seemed ok, but it certainly didn't match my kitchen and I would not use it. The included faucet is chrome...it would be way out of place in our stainless (brushed nickle) kitchen. Multipure does have a system to return the included faucet to them and get a refund, but there is a cost of doing that. I concluded it simply wasn't worth getting a refund of that small an amount, so off to the recycling pickup it went. Faucet was a waste of money; filter system should have shipped without one. There are too many kitchen faucet metals (chrome, stainless, bronzed, white...no doubt more) to ship assuming chrome will be a fine one-size-fits-all. The filter system is expensive enough...lowering the price a few bucks by not including a faucet would help. I know some folks might end up unhappy they wouldn't get everything in the box for a ready to plug and play filter system; guess you can't please everyone

I used it to replace my old Amway water filter. The faucet hole is the same size so no new drilling is required. The difficult part is to replace the old water valve from the supply line otherwise the installation is very simple and easy. One thing is that no filter is available in Canada and have to be ordered from US. The transportation and import fees should be a concern. Mulitipure charges $36.00, if I am correct, for the shipping and handling on top of the $69.99 filter so the replacement cost is expensive.
