Thanks a lot for this really helpful video. The only thing I don’t like that much of this filter is that I feel we are going to waist too much filtered water in other stuff like cleaning dishes, etc. Instead of using the filtered water mostly to drink. What I’m gonna do (I already bought this filter) is to use a splitter in the cold water supply valve, from there i am going to connect one line to the sink and the other one to the filter, then the out line from the filter I am going to connect it to the Hot water inlet of the sink. So I’m going to have in my sink, normal water in one side and Filtered water in the other side (I will shut down the hot water inlet of my sink). I think this way wont affect my “normal” water pressure, and my filters will last more time to be replaced because I will use the filtered water mostly to drink. What do you think? Thanks a lot!
When washing dishes, I just turn in my medium or hot water. I rarely wash with only cold water unless it’s so hot out in summer and I want to cool down. So I personally wouldn’t say doing a second line would be necessary. Because when using hot water, you have no filtered water coming out. And when using medium water, you only have half cold. So the waste may not be as much as you think. Hope this helps!
Or just keep using the filters until you notice a flow reduction, instead of the "recommended" replacement intervals. The filters really shouldn't be letting stuff through. I don't like drinking water scaremongering outside of Flint. That being said, I AM using a ANSI 42 Insinkerator for my daily thermos refills, with groundwater from Long Island. Even if it doesn't filter to a stricter required certification level, I am told it still removes the vast majority of the contaminants.
These are great videos, so informative and clear! Would love you to review the under the sink aqua tru….harder I guess because needs full installation.
Could you please please do sample tests on the single under sink Waterdrop WD-10UA. Paranoid now about what is coming out of the filter. 😮 Thank you 🙏🏽
Filters are recommended to be replaced once a year or every 2,000 gallons which comes down to 5.5 gallons/day. One set of filters is currently priced at around $400.
I just got my Clearly Filtered water installed but the water from it is very cloudy with visible particles. This is after I let the water running for more than 10 mins. Not sure what to do but this is making me nervous if this safe to drink. Any advice for me?
Hm, we didn't have that issue. The manual says to flush the system for as long as it takes for the water to run clear. The cloudiness is probably only water bubbles which is nothing to worry about.
The filter connects to the cold water line only, but the most people use hot water or hot water mixed with cold to wash dishes, which means you're not getting clean water unless you're only using cold water to wash dishes.
Right, but do you really need filtered water washing your dishes? Let's say some of the contaminants would stick to your dishes - the amount would be incredibly tiny, and you can still rinse with filtered water if you wanted to.
@@boswater6065 That was my point. There should be a separate faucet installed just for the filtered water otherwise you're wasting the filtered water unless you want the filtered water to wash dishes.
@@boswater6065 Hello CP pitcher is , but what about this system... Well i guess my question is stupid because looks like the lines are metal.. so no plastic.. I would buy this ASAP the under counter filters- IF it was NSA AND ANSI CERTIFIED!!! I wonder why its not!! I know the expense!! I really hate to put that big white RO under the sink again
@@donblade5405 Sorry for the late reply. The Clearly Filtered under sink system is BPA-free as well. I was told that Clearly Filtered is in the process of getting some NSF certifications.
Great question. This depends on how your feed water tastes. Because the CF doesn't remove minerals, these will enrich the flavor of the filtered water, too.
How many of the contaminants removed by this system was in your water to start with? I find that it doesn't matter how many contaminants a company claims to remove, if they're not the ones in YOUR water. The Clearly Filtered Pitcher removes the most of MY contaminants. I've had a Berkey, a ProOne gravity system (better than Berkey), an Aquatru, an Aquasana under sink, a ProOne Pitcher, and now a Clearly Filtered Pitcher. I'm most comfortable with the CF Pitcher. But when I need to be absolutely sure my water is pure, I drink Aquafina bottled. Just don't like the cost, inconvenience, and waste. Otherwise, I wouldn't even deal with home filtering systems.
I bought an RO system based off this channel’s reviews. It’s a counter-top filter. I had a friend come over and see it and was really interested in some under the counter filters for her own home. They asked me to do some research. ….are you seriously concerned about water you clean with that you’re not consuming? I’m kind of embarrassed I recommended your channel.
This is not helpful or useful as a review because you do not even do a simple chlorine test or any type of contaminants test. The whole purpose of a water filter review is to let people know of it works or not!
Chlorine is so easy to remove, there's no value in testing that. And we do think that the review is still useful even without contaminant testing. But I agree, contaminant testing is probably the most important part and we're planning on doing a second video on the Clearly Filtered Under Sink System that will include our own lab testing.
Too expensive, who wants to pay $400 every year to replace the filters? Even Multipure is cheaper with replacement filters at $100 a year but you use a separate faucet. No need to filter all your cold water plus it lowers your water pressure a lot.
We'd say $400 is worth it depending on your water quality. Personally, I don't know how the "Multipure" performs, but not all water filters are created equal.

Curious, has anyone tried this as an inline filter for their refrigerator instead of using clearly filtered dedicated inline refrigerator filter
Did you ever find out.
Very grateful for your comprehensive review, thank you.
Could you please please do sample tests on the single under sink Waterdrop WD-10UA. Paranoid now about what is coming out of the filter. 😮 Thank you 🙏🏽
I've added it to our list!
I connect the washing machine to the kitchen sink. How can I use this without filtering laundry water?
You'd have to connect the filter downstream of the water line that leads to the washing machine.
Thank you for this. I'm curious about filter replacement though, how often and how much does it cost generally? Thanks

I really love this video and ideal on this filter system BUT WHY CAN THEY NOT have it actually NSA or NSF 58 cert???
NSF 58 is for reverse osmosis systems only.
@@boswater6065 wow. Ok. Ty
CF with my Kangen is the move 😻
I am here looking for a pre filter for my Kangen, glad you recommend it

How does this compare to the waterdrop RO filters you have reviewed in other videos?
We haven't conducted any lab testing on this water filter yet so I'm not really sure - but we'll do as soon as possible!

Yes. Although the filter is only connected to the cold water line. So the hot water is unfiltered.
Can this be fitted on the shower?
No, it can't.
Consider getting a ProOne shower filter. Removes the most contaminants on the market.
GREAT VIDEO!! BUT IS THIS EQUIPMENT BPA FREE????
Thanks @donblade5405. Yes, the CF pitcher is BPA free!

@@donblade5405 Sorry for the late reply. The Clearly Filtered under sink system is BPA-free as well. I was told that Clearly Filtered is in the process of getting some NSF certifications.
I just installed mine and it almost has a strange taste to it, not bad but almost like soapy or something, any thoughts?
did that soapy flavor go away after some use?
what are your views on this system vs RO?? I HEAR ro are great but does remove some very important minerals
That's right, RO systems also remove the good minerals, but you can remineralize. In the end, it comes down to what you prefer.
Good job, great video!
how does the water taste compared to bottled waters like Aquafina or Dasani?
Great question. This depends on how your feed water tastes. Because the CF doesn't remove minerals, these will enrich the flavor of the filtered water, too.
Hoe do you feel drinking out of your faucet ? I am used to a dedicted faucet.
Sorry for the late reply. It feels fine.
How many of the contaminants removed by this system was in your water to start with?
I find that it doesn't matter how many contaminants a company claims to remove, if they're not the ones in YOUR water.
The Clearly Filtered Pitcher removes the most of MY contaminants.

Really good video, thank you..
Where does the dirty water go? There's no waste?
no!
Very cool. Thank you
*2 minor edits:
-You can remove/install the modular filters with a quarter turn - very easy.
-You cannot taste fluoride in water.

$400, but can't even provide lab test results post installation?? Cmon!!
We will soon add lab testing in our review videos. Although you do realize that Clearly Filtered do provide their own lab testing?
This review has very limited value since you didn't lab test it yourself.
I agree. But we will do a lab test on the Clearly Filtered Under Sink as soon as possible!
@@boswater6065 Please do so, I am trying to see about this system versus AquaTru Countertop Model.
I'm pretty sure the AquaTru will come out on top. Of course this also depends on what's in your water, but RO is generally the most effective.
