Thank you for this amazing information. We have a Waterdrop 10UA Under Sink Water Filter System. I have been using it for 6 months, and lately I’ve been experiencing headaches and dizziness. I’m not saying it comes from the Waterdrop system, but I’m worried; so I decided to run some tests too. I’m a person living with a compromised Immune System, and that’s why I purchased this system. I don’t know if you have done any reviews on the system I have, but I will check to see if you do have a video on this unit. Anyway; I would like to say thank you very much for all your help. Best wishes to you, your family, and all your viewers, this new year 2025. May GOD bless you all.
Is Dichloromethane, xylene, and toluene a problem with all of waterdrops RO filters in varying degrees due to residual chemicals from their manufacturing process? In particular I was concerned about the G3p600.
I am not one to comment on videos often, but feeling very overwhelmed with all the options after learning of the bad chemicals that are apparently in most water system. I actually had tears in my eyes after watching this video, it just made me very emotional which is unusual for me, kinda like when you see the Hero in a movie save the day against overwhelming odds. Please keep up the good work!
I was going to purchase the water drop A1 and did not after your review. Could you let me know what is preferred brand and model that should be considered?
Yes please name go through all the units that put the chemicals after the filter process. I'm going to have to get the AquaTru . I have the Frizzlife RO under sink one. I see in the report it puts in that chemical.
Thanks so much for the update. Most uses of methylene chloride were banned by EPA this year april of '24 but not sure how soon that impact existing manufacturers. Spreadsheets are the best I'm going to review those.🥰 BTW the methylene chloride is on the sheet but most the filters results are blank not filled?
On BOS water you recommend the water drop under sink tankless system. I’m assuming this means the new systems don’t have the issues with cancer or chemicals
We're doing an overhaul of the entire website right now so the current version isn't up to date. But we've tested the Waterdrop G3P600 and the X12 here on the channel and they didn't show any signs of leaching.
Thank you so much for doing this! Will you be testing the iSpring RCD100HCG Hot & Cold Reverse Osmosis System Countertop, Alkaline RO Water Filter Dispenser or any of the Spring brand models. I have only ever used Spring, I thought they were pretty popular, but I guess not after watching your videos.
One thing that occurred to me just now, is that each of the systems you test, may periodically need new filters tested, in case one of these companies gets Better or WORSE filters down the road. Obviously you would not want to waste money unnecessarily but maybe a yearly follow up on previously tested units with replacement filters currently being sold. For now I will use the data you have shared to make the best decision that I can.
Depending on health products produced in China is generally a bad idea. And it can even get worse when people try to find cheaper 3'rd party Chinese produced replacement filters on temu, ebay, etc.
@@curioussand1339 Yeah, I would never buy a cheapo filter either, for me it is more about making sure I will be able to get filters in the future, I really dislike proprietary designs and avoid them when I can.
Im confused, so the other units you went over in your 11 RO unit coverage video didnt show these chemicals in their respective lab results? Or did they also?
I ordered the WaterDrop A1 yesterday, after my purchase I watched your video. I’m very concerned that the company has claimed to have resolved the issue, yet failed to recall affected products. Does this mean they’ve ignored the problem?
If you ordered a new unit I think you should have received the updated version (maybe confirm with Waterdrop?). As for recalling the affected products, that's a good point that I haven't considered to be honest. I think the question would be for how long the chemical leaching persists and where it originates from (like the RO membrane that could easily be replaced).
What is the best RO countertop filtration system? I just bought the A1 and have been so excited thinking that my son and I are drinking clean water. 😔 Please, if you could let me know which one is the best at removing all chemicals I would be so grateful! 🙏
Love all this information. I am just starting to look into best options. Do you have a video of which filters/systems DO NOT LEACH any chemicals. I have many personal issues and would like to drink the best H20. Thank you again.
Thank you! No, we don't have a video specifically on filters that don't leach. But in our big comparison videos here on the channel, we usually only recommend those water filters that showed no sign of problematic leaching, so maybe you find your answers there.
At those levels is it a true DO NOT BUY situation? I live in the uk and although aquapur is now available i dont like how low the dispensing tap is and the no hot or cold. As its alot of money id like to change out the kettle for this reason and only have 1 appliance (uk house kitchen size being much smaller) with the other tests showing such small amounts is it not possible that the filter just didnt get cleaned enough on the initial vleaning flushing phase?
Based on the test reports for the updated A1 version the leaching does not exceed even the strictest health guideline. So I wouldn't say it's not a true do not buy situation, but it's also definitely not ideal.
Would you still recommend purchasing the upgraded version of the A1? I couldn’t find a single countertop RO system that provides cold water other than this one.
I'm also interested in this for similar reasons and I'm also wondering if they have a back log of units when you purchase would you actually get the upgraded version or a unit from the warehouse that was made pre update
We have been using the older model - Waterdrop G3P400 for almost 5 years. We just came across this video and now concerned the same thing was happening with this older unit, and hence discontinued. I reached out to Waterdrop, but they do not give any clear answers, but only that they upgraded the G3 systems years ago and they don't have any information on the older models. Is there anywhere I can find information or test results for the older G3P400 units?
Your lab results for the G3P600 show a very high total bacteria count (>1600 cfu/mL), more than 3x the EPA limit. Is this something I should be concerned about?
@igormord8636 The types of bacteria that make up total bacteria count are everywhere around us. Again, they are harmless. If you still wouldn't want them in your drinking water, then you can't use activated carbon or any other type of filter media that removes the water disinfectant like chlorine.
@boswater6065 Hey, as an owner of an A1 Waterdrop system, I’d be interested to know whether it is the system itself that excretes these chemicals, or whether it is the filters? I purchased mine mid August 2024, so I’d also be interested to know how likely it is that I have one of the older systems vs the likelihood I have one of the newer systems? Thanks!!
@@boswater6065 it would be helpful if you added dates to your video. I could figure it out myself based on my purchase date, but you don't provide any dates in your video. When was your video made? On what date did Waterdrop recall the A1? Make sense?
That does make sense. I don't have an exact date, but at the beginning of April Waterdrop told us that they had withdrawn the product from all channels as a reaction to our video which was published on Mar 1, 2024.
this is unforgivable to release a product without lab testing. why should lab tests be the consumers responsibility! no lab test on product page no purchase from me!
I can't give you an exact date, sorry. What I can tell you is that it's not very high on our priority list tbh. Since we haven't tested the system yet, I don't know if it may leach any harmful chemicals. Did you check for other tests here on RUclips and elsewhere?
@@boswater6065 yh i checked they only done a video on the upgraded model, which is the G3p600. The G3P600 was free from harmful chemicals in your video so I’m guessing the G2P600 would be free from for chemicals too? But i’ll still do my own lab test. Do you know any good companies for water testing from the UK?
Yeah they do haha, I think the one that interests me the most is the Philips Reverse Osmosis Purification Hot and Cold Water Station. ADD6921DG/79 Info on this benchtop RO system is hard to find, but it seems to be the only one mainstream stores are selling so I would love to know more about it. Thank you for the reply!
So I've bought the Philips reverse osmosis system, it's great! But I have just found a hard to locate information leaflet stating that the remineralisation filter uses strontium to make the water alkaline, and it's hard to find definitive articles as to whether it's bad for you or not...... 🤔 Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Currently have SimPure Y9T. Can't tell the difference in taste between Y9T RO Water and double distilled water with both tasting the same or tasteless. Y9T has 300 gallon per day flow rate. Fills up a glass quickly. Before drinking the RO water, flushed Y9T with 4 complete cycles of distilled water, followed by 2 cycles of tap water. Afterwards the water feed tank had no visible foam present, following the machines normal flushing cycle. Now just drinking the RO water from the Y9T and not drinking that much double distilled water. Occasionally add a drop or two of liquid iodine and sometimes a pinch of redmond real salt or sea salt to the RO water. Sure the water is not as pure as double distilled water, but close enough. 1st distillation takes 5-6 hours to distill a gallon of water and increases your electric bill. Whereas the RO water is almost instantly available with using very little electricity. Put a gallon of Y9T RO water in a Megahome counter top distiller. After the Y9T RO water was distilled, there was no residue left on the bottom of distillers tank. Interested to see BOS Water's thoughts of the SimPure Y9T, along with water lab test results.
@@boswater6065 SimPure RO filters ship with some-type of persevering oil inside the filter. The oil should be completely flushed out of the RO filter, prior to drinking the water.
Waterdrop seems to always be sketchy and shoddy. I bought a water pitcher filter from them and there are gaps in the front and back side of the filter that lets unfiltered water drip down into the filtered water compartment. I emailed them asking for a refund/replacement explaining the issue that had a video attached, but they have so far ignored my emails.
Your contribution is commendable, but it would be even more impactful if you could share details about how and where you had the products tested. This would empower us consumers to test our own water samples, raise awareness without straining your resources, and further promote clean water initiative. Without being able to test my own samples this information might have the opposite effect: the only reasonable conclusion is that water purifies could be dangerous but there is no way to know for sure, so stay away.
I purchased a Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite(UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter from Amazon. At first it was great, filtered fast water was clear and tasted good. A day after setting it up I started to get spells of heart palpitations (never had these before) and it continued till after a few weeks it was almost every day I was having these. I went on a 4 day trip and was staying in a hotel so I had bottled water for the 4 days as I didn't want to bother to bring the filtering system for just 4 days. The second day I was at the hotel the heart palpitations stopped and I was back to feeling normal for those 4 days. The only thing different was the water I was drinking so I wondered is it the water causing these heart palpitations (I was getting ready to call my GP about a getting a referral to a cardiologist to get checked out cause I was becoming very concerned) So when I went home I tried removing the mineralizing cup to see if that was maybe the problem and drank the RO water without the mineralizing cup and just put a pinch of sea salt. Next day I was back to heart palpitations! I don't know what is in this water but it was causing me to have heart palpitations which is dangerous and darn scary too! I contacted amazon and although it was past the 30 days when I explained the health issue it was causing they gave me a shipping label to return for a full refund. This machine is dangerous and should not be on the market...I'm starting to feel better after stopping the water but still not 100% yet. May go see a cardiologist just to make sure they they didn't do permanent damage to my heart! Bloody hell what is wrong with companies and the controls that are supposed to be in place to protect us from dangerous products???? Seems its just becoming a free for all on the consumers and the laws, checks and balances are non existent now
Thanks for sharing. Most importantly, I think you should still see your GP to make sure that everything is indeed okay! We're not doctors and can't provide medical advice obviously. As for the ROPOT-Lite(UV), we haven't tested this one yet but Bluevua has a material safety test published on their website - maybe check that out!
@@boswater6065 from my research and chats with other customers they all seem to be having issue with stuff leaching into the water. I don't trust the testing now...too much has gotten by them obviously and sad to say there is always someone willing to compramise their ethics for some moneny in every company. Just look at all the crap that is "approved " to be put in our food and you can't deny it. I'm not willing to risk my health on it with these countertop RO"s there have been issues reported by customers on pretty much all of them including the one you are paid to recommend cause they sponsor these videos.
@@boswater6065 yeah obviously I don't think you are doctors who provide medical advice and I wasn't asking for your opinion on what I should do. I am of sound mind and can make my own decisions.
@eyeofthestorm8014 There's no company that sponsors our videos. Yes, we earn from affiliate commissions, but this applies to pretty much all the products we review. I understand that this isn't ideal, but it's the only way we can afford to buy the products + conduct our lab testing which is extremely expensive. Also, I wasn't trying to patronize or anything.

I purchased a Bluevua RO100ROPOT-Lite(UV) Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter from Amazon. At first it was great, filtered fast water was clear and tasted good. A day after setting it up I started to get spells of heart palpitations (never had these before) and it continued till after a few weeks it was almost every day I was having these. I went on a 4 day trip and was staying in a hotel so I had bottled water for the 4 days as I didn't want to bother to bring the filtering system for just 4 days. The second day I was at the hotel the heart palpitations stopped and I was back to feeling normal for those 4 days. The only thing different was the water I was drinking so I wondered is it the water causing these heart palpitations (I was getting ready to call my GP about a getting a referral to a cardiologist to get checked out cause I was becoming very concerned) So when I went home I tried removing the mineralizing cup to see if that was maybe the problem and drank the RO water without the mineralizing cup and just put a pinch of sea salt. Next day I was back to heart palpitations! I don't know what is in this water but it was causing me to have heart palpitations which is dangerous and darn scary too! I contacted amazon and although it was past the 30 days when I explained the health issue it was causing they gave me a shipping label to return for a full refund. This machine is dangerous and should not be on the market...I'm starting to feel better after stopping the water but still not 100% yet. May go see a cardiologist just to make sure they they didn't do permanent damage to my heart! Bloody hell what is wrong with companies and the controls that are supposed to be in place to protect us from dangerous products???? Seems its just becoming a free for all on the consumers and the laws, checks and balances are non existent now
Thanks for sharing. Most importantly, I think you should still see your GP to make sure that everything is indeed okay! We're not doctors and can't provide medical advice obviously. As for the ROPOT-Lite(UV), we haven't tested this one yet but Bluevua has a material safety test published on their website - maybe check that out!
@@boswater6065 from my research and chats with other customers they all seem to be having issue with stuff leaching into the water. I don't trust the testing now...too much has gotten by them obviously and sad to say there is always someone willing to compramise their ethics for some moneny in every company. Just look at all the crap that is "approved " to be put in our food and you can't deny it. I'm not willing to risk my health on it with these countertop RO"s there have been issues reported by customers on pretty much all of them including the one you are paid to recommend cause they sponsor these videos.
@@boswater6065 yeah obviously I don't think you are doctors who provide medical advice and I wasn't asking for your opinion on what I should do. I am of sound mind and can make my own decisions.
@eyeofthestorm8014 There's no company that sponsors our videos. Yes, we earn from affiliate commissions, but this applies to pretty much all the products we review. I understand that this isn't ideal, but it's the only way we can afford to buy the products + conduct our lab testing which is extremely expensive. Also, I wasn't trying to patronize or anything.
