Crystal Clear Reverse Osmosis Water Filter – What you Need to Know

If you are looking for a drinking water filtration system there are two main types to consider… a countertop water filter or an undersink water filter system. There are a couple of good ones on the market and the Crystal Clear Reverse Osmosis undersink water filter system is one of the more well known and effective units.

Before you choose your water filter it is important to know what method of filtration the unit uses as well as what pollutants it will remove and the pros and cons of the unit. Below I will go through exactly what you need to know to find out if Crystal Clear is the right filtration system for you.

Method of Filtration

This 5 stage Crystal Clear water filter uses reverse osmosis as a filtration method. There is good and bad to using reverse osmosis to filter your water.

The good:

• Reverse osmosis is known to be extremely effective in cleaning out pretty much all contaminants from the water. It works fast and it works very well.

The bad:

• Reverse osmosis is also known to strip the water of not only the bad contaminants but also of the important trace minerals that are essential for our health. If you use a reverse osmosis system it is extremely important that you purchase some trace minerals from a health food store to replace in your water every time you drink.

Pollutants Removed…

The Crystal Clear undersink water filter system is for small quantities of water such as for drinking and for cooking. It will clean up to 100 gallons of water per day which is decent but not as good as say the Aquasana system that filters up to 30 gallons per hour.

This unit will remove:

• Chlorine
• Heavy metals
• Barium
• Cadmium
• Chromium
• Lead
• Mercury
• Sulfate

Important Facts and Features:

The Crystal Clear drinking water filter has some great features which help with its popularity. It has an auto shut-off, a ¼" tank ball valve, easy install pack with feed water adapter, drain saddle, NSF listed storage tank, chrome, long-reach and lead-free faucet spout, high quality filters as well as good installation instructions and a diagram.

The unit dimensions are:

• Main Unit: 18"H x 16"W x 6"D
• Storage Tank: 11"D X 15"H

This unit comes with a one year warranty on components, excluding the membrane and pre and post filters.

Final Thoughts…

The reason the Crystal Clear water filtration system works so well is because of its five stages of treatment. The water is put through five different filtration stages and the end result is crystal clear water that is clean and healthy.

Pros & Cons Pro Crystal Clear Reverse Osmosis Undersink Water Filter

• Affordable
• Cleans water efficiently
• Filters quite fast
• Auto shut-off helps reduce waste
• Compact size
• Nice faucet

Against Crystal Clear Reverse Osmosis Undersink Water Filter

• The reverse osmosis will strip the water of all the good minerals as well – they will need to be replaced.
• Only filters 100 gallons of water per day where as other systems such as Aquasana filter 30 gallons per hour.
• The installation instructions have been noted as being poor and hard to understand.

I like this unit but to be honest it wouldn't be my choice. I have used reverse osmosis in the past and have found it to be a little bit tiresome to always have to be adding back in the trace minerals. It is not that big of a deal but given the choice I would choose a unit that uses different a different filtration method. However the Crystal Clear water filtration system is a very good price and is very appealing for many people.
