Aquasana AQ-4501.61 Review by Bill Kennedy
my wife is picky about her water, but she loves the taste. install was simple
and straight forward. the only complaint would be the 3-5 second leaking after
turning the faucet off. the leaking was explained in the product documentation
I read before buying so I was aware of it. would recommend this product to others.
Aquasana AQ-4501.61 Review by Carlos
Recieved the unit yesterday. Installed it last night. Leaked within minutes. Uninstalled it this morning, and will send it back this afternoon. Check out some of the other negative reviews and you will see that this is not an isolated incident. Others have had problems with this unit leaking. The filter unit is the part that leaks.
Aquasana AQ-4501.61 Review by Liberty4all "DMZ" (New York, NY USA)
We've had this Aquasana system for about three years now so I think I'm well acquainted with it. First, for anyone with a modicum of handiness and some basic tools the installation is fairly easy. The filter itself works very well. Water tastes great and the flow rate (at least initially) is quite good. You can probably fill a quart container in 45 seconds. However, as the filters get dirty the flow rate begins to decrease. After six months it's probably down to less than half the original flow rate. If this covered everything I'd give it 5 stars.
Where it loses a half star is the quality of the construction of the filter housing. Everything is plastic and with each filter change, something seems to go. First, the screw-on filter covers have wings protruding which allows you to grasp the covers to open and close them. These covers can require a lot of force to open and first one wing would break off and then the other.
When the wings are gone or perhaps even before you can use a socket wrench to remove the covers. Again, because they are plastic, I stripped one of them trying to remove it with a socket.
They do have a "Water for Life" program which entails them shipping out a new set of filters to you every six months and if you sign up for this they will replace the housing or anything that fails for just the cost of shipping and handling ($9.95 for a new housing recently). Although this is a fairly good deal, it would just be preferable if the housing used heavy duty metal for the fittings that get used in which case you wouldn't need a replacement.
Finally, another half star is removed as the cost of the filters has increased significantly from when I initially purchased the system so in a sense this is like the ink jet printer sales model where they sell you a printer at cost (or less) and make money for years selling you ink. In this case however the initial system is not cheap either so whereas I considered it a very economical system when I bought it, I now consider it decent but if Aquasana continues to raise prices I may have to look elsewhere for filtered water..
