iSpring RCC7AK Reverse Osmosis System, 6-Stage, NSF Certified, 75 GPD, pH+

REF; RCC7AK 6 STAGE RO SYSTEM: Firstly, I would like to say that the customer service at iSpring is exceptional - Francis to be specific. I had a very minor issue that did not scare me away from this product nor create any annoyance re. installation. Francis quickly contacted and helped rectify a very minor issue I had, following up with me to try and rectify the issue asap - thank you Francis! Packaging & instructions/fitting: The box arrived well packed and packed so well that I would not expect damage during transit. Each item was in its own box and had very little movement. The items came out of the box easily and had no damage. Well packed. The instructions for the assembly and fitment were very detailed. If self-fitting this unit, you probably have some kind of idea about what you are doing so you may not need to use the instructions as gospel, but they do provide a very well detailed and easy to follow assembly instruction. The flow diagram was welcomed too. A nice quick reference guide to hosing. This helped me more than the instructions - I find visual instruction easier than detailed description instruction. Whether you work in fluid engineering or fancy the DIY challenge, the instructions supplied will certainly allow you to install with ease. It took me about an hour to install and commission/leak check. The unit (although it looks rather large) fits very easily inside of my 900mm wide cupboard. It even allows for space around the filtration unit and the reservoir for placing filter spares etc. It certainly surprised me with how well the unit fits inside of my cupboard. I expected to assemble it, offer it up to the cupboard only to find it was too large to fit and then need to send it back… but I could fit two RCC7AK 6 Stage systems inside of my cupboard. Perhaps it opens scope to add further filters elements onto this system in the future… Filters are easy to change. This unit comes with a filter housing removal tool to provide leverage on the housing. Install the filtration system above the base of your unit to allow ease of filter change. There is a detailed commissioning instruction near the end of the instruction so please do follow this for the correct initial start-up procedure to purge the pre-osmosis filters (ensuring you do not put carbon deposits into the RO (reverse osmosis) membrane. Supplied parts: During assembly, I happened to think to myself 'a 90 elbow fitting would be perfect here'... they had thought of that and supplied multiple fittings! More than I needed. The length of piping was perfect. I used about half of what was provided - even with a drain line that extended far down the waste pipe into the next cupboard (install horizontal and away from the u-bend trap to eliminate a dripping noise and potential backing up of sink waste into the drain-line in the event of blockage). All parts supplied fitted my standard UK kitchen (15mm comp / 1/2" BSPP) but I did use some PTFE between the threads just to seal them as the thread form is NPT and my kitchen is BSP (thread angles are slightly different and therefore do not mate perfectly). I have had no leaks in the week I have had fitted. Taste/Testing: The taste is incredible. It tastes pure and clean. No tang or bitterness. It tastes purer than the purest bottled water I have tasted. I will now avoid drinking water that has not been through my RO system. Bottled water at a push! I have (glass) bottles stored in the fridge filled with my RO water. Bottled water is nice... but iSpring RO water is second to none. I agree with another review here that I fill my bottle with this water and take it everywhere I go. See the images for the testing. I believe that these images speak for themselves. Obviously, the RO water cannot be TDS free due to the remineralisation process but down to 47PPM from 435PPM is an incredible job and there is a clear difference in the ‘clean’ taste even between RO water and bottled water. This is evidence enough that the water is truly forced through the osmosis filter. Alkalinity of this water is slightly higher (TAP is 7.66pH, BOTTLED is 8.70pH *Sometimes artificially raised using Bicarbonate of soda, RCC7AK RO is 9.72pH). Yes, I did calibrate my pH meter prior to use! I am yet to perform some detailed research into the difference a higher pH water provides but brief research suggests that it is easier for the body to consume. I will take higher pH being better for the body at face value at this point for this review. Overview: I would suggest that this unit is installed in every home for the sake of reducing the number of chemicals that are consumed through water. At the very least, bottled water should be consumed. Avoid tap water! For the small cost (yes, the cost of this unit is relatively low) this unit is 100% worth purchasing. Fitting is easy, it comes with a nice outlet for the water, water tastes incredible, and the customer service is outstanding. Every home should be fitting one of these units. And whilst you are at it... consider stopping using fluoride containing products such as toothpaste and mouthwash. Use fluoride-free alternatives. I have personally noticed positive differences with regard to dental/mental health. BUY the iSpring RCC7AK! – I was not provided any incentive to leave this review. All opinions are from my experience of using this product!

Initially my fitter was a bit flummoxed by the installation instructions (english not his first language) so we watched a YouTube video together and it was eventually assembled, tested for leaks, primed for use and tested for water quality. The various parts fitted inside an undersink cupboard pretty well, leaving some room for storage. Upstream from the iSpring is a filter, not a water softener, which breaks down the calcium content of the quite hard London water. This was installed largely to minimise buildup of scale in the central heating system and within kettles, coffee machines, etc. Objectively the TDS within the filtered water showed a marked reduction against unfiltered tap water. I was aware that there would be no zero reading due to the presence of a remineralisation stage. As for the water itself on taste and smell, it seems to be good. My main concern, apart from the removal of unwanted contaminants, is the effect using the water to make drinks and for cooking has. Tea, made properly from high quality leaf, tasted much much better - with more character from the type of tea used (Assam). Coffee tastes better too. It replaces a ZeroWater jug filter which was good in some respects but removed all particilates making it less healthy and also £15 filters lasting only 3-4 weeks making it quite expensive. When the filter got to the end of it’s life, the water produced, when boiled, had an unpleasant ammonium smell. This system seems much better. Recommend.

For more than 6 years I am happy that I found this system from a reputable brand and did not try to save a bit for cheaper alternatives. Here are my, time tested observations: 1. Installation Very easy to fit. It's fully DIY'able as long as you're able to connect it to the water supply. If you can't - don't worry, as in some cases there might be more complicated connections, where you need additional fittings like in my case, etc. In general - don't worry, no offence by no means as some people never did anything DIY, worry of flooding stuff, don't have tools, etc. it's completely fine. I am just saying that it can be done relatively easily and does not necessarily require a plumber :). But if you try it yourself, you'd be surprised how much you can do, especially with all youtube at your hands - become proud, stop being afraid of your handyman dreams and eventually start a full DIY renovation of your house haha! Joke with real background!) 2. Solid Quality. I've seen and serviced filters before, including at my friends and parents house and this one looks very well made when it comes to pipes, plastic housings, rubber rings, etc. Well, 6+ years so far is not a bad run, isn't it? The only weak point in my case is the filtered water faucet - it's leaking for a while inside the sink, but in fairness it saw so much pulling and twisting by my kids that I don't blame it. 3. Water quality & Taste Water quality was tested several times in the beginning and after filter changes and it is brilliant. Both pH wise and TDS (remember that it's mineralized back so account for it). I am going to tell you a super basic and even silly observation but in 6+ years my kettle was never washed and it looks cleaner and shinier inside than when it was new. No joke. And why I said it's silly, because RO systems filter much more than sediments, but micro stuff like bacteria and some viruses, metals, pfas and much more. Taste - no taste, just brilliantly clean and "tasty" water, hard to describe but in my family's head it's like "what ideal water taste should be". 4. Servicing If you did not install it yourself, trust me servicing (changing the filters) is even easier. You stop the water flow in filter and tank, unscrew using provided key, filter out + filter in, close well and test in the end to make sure no leaks. You can follow youtube too. It is really not hard at all. Filters are always for sale and you can get good deals if you buy like a 1+ years supply. In my experience, at least with Dublin water quality, which is not bad - even first sediment filters live much longer than recommended and when I replace them, they are just slightly coloured. But this depends on the water quality in your area of course. To finish with, a RO system brings amazing value for your money and I highly recommend to get one for long term health benefits, as no other filtration systems clean the water to this level of purity. Drinking and cooking becomes healthier and so do you. This particular one is used by our family every day and I can responsibly recommend it. Hope it helps even a bit & stay well and healthy! Cheers

Looks all ok. All fittings included, so take me about 2-3h to finish (nothing rushed). You need some tools and hand skills. Manual should be bit more clear, about filters position (up/down), type filter written on foil so if removed all quickly, you my lost what and where. We used for one week, no any issues. We have no bad water by taste before, but by testing after the improve quality. Finally we kick out all plastic bottles water.

I've been through every cheap filter on the market. I've had a distiller after those which I absolutely loved! The water tasted amazing but my electric bill was eye watering. I did some more research as to an alternative for the distiller and found my way back to a reverse osmosis system. They kind of baffled me before now if I'm honest and I didn't understand how they worked so I bypassed for other options. I wish I'd just started with this. I've wasted thousands on electricity bills over the last few years with my distiller and it is a pain to clean and a chances of getting burned during cleaning process. This reverse osmosis system was easy enough to install (well took a few hours) and that's it, we pour straight from tap no chance of getting burned or having to clean it after every use - brilliant !! And the water tastes good. I often get sick with tap water and this passes the taste test 100% I've already sent the link for this to friends who distill water, urging them to change over too! Lots of pros to it:- water is clean. It tastes good. The price was good (I got it on a January offer). I like that it has a separate tap. The only con that might bother some is that it takes up most of one side under your sink. I have the space for it but some might not. But then if you're serious about clean water it's either the space gone there, or space in your fridge for a filter or space on your side for a distiller....so.... Also if you're not handy around the house you might have to get someone in to install it. We did it ourselves but some may not be able to. (I'm not being paid for this review I genuinely think it's great after trying so many other options!)

I have been using the iSpring RCC7AK 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis Under Sink Water System for a while now, and overall I’m very happy with it. The difference in water quality was noticeable almost immediately. The water genuinely tastes better than bottled water, and I now drink more water daily because of it. The water pressure is also very good for an RO system; it fills glasses quickly and doesn’t feel slow or frustrating (please see attached video). Installation was straightforward with clear instructions, and everything feels well-made and solid. I also appreciate that it’s NSF certified, which gives peace of mind about safety and TDS reduction. After checking with a TDS meter, the reduction is impressive. Pros: -Water tastes clean, fresh, and pleasant -Good water pressure for an RO system -Strong TDS reduction -NSF certified -Build quality feels durable and premium -Saves money vs bottled water Cons: -Takes up some space under the sink -Initial installation takes a bit of time if you’re not DIY-confident -Filter replacements are an ongoing cost (expected for RO systems) Overall: This is a reliable, high-quality RO system that delivers exactly what it promises: great-tasting water with strong performance. If you’re looking to improve your drinking water at home, I would definitely recommend it.

This is by far the most superior RO system I've ever used. I have 6 of them and about to buy a 7th. Every family member and my company office has one installed. Incredible easy installation with all instructions online on Youtube. I've recommended this company to all my family and friends. Their service if you ever have an issue is just next level. They don't even ask "hey are you still under warranty" they will have the parts already being shipped to you expidited delivery before you even had a reply back. My only problem now is that I have to replace filters for 7 locations ;)

Not impressed, I've had this about 7 months now. When I first installed it the water was milky, I emailed the seller and he asked for photos of the set up which I sent but heard nothing back, I have since learned this is normal as it's small bubbles escaping from the filters and takes about 2 weeks to clear. However that never happened with us, our water has always had a funny smell to it, almost like the smell of washing machine water. We've never been impressed do we've never drank this water, however last week I finally had a spare few hours so I thought I'd look into it and maybe change the filters or something. I striped it down and found the sediment filter was still pure white, according to reviews after a few months it goes brown or yellow, also the main RO membrane felt slimy, again this is apparently not normal. Anyway, after a couple of hours of figuring out how this works it turns out it was connected up wrong, not my part but the parts that are pre connected and apparently 'ready to use'. Obviously my tank etc were now fully of none filtered water so getting this thing cleaned was next to impossible, it also had a tiny leak from the pre connected pipes that I just couldn't stop. I contacted Amazon about this and even though it's been 7 months they offered me a return. I have since bought another system off Amazon which is £149 and pumped. Although this has a slightly smaller drum the rest is about the same size and the quality of the connectors is far better. Also the instructions are far clearer and well written. We finally have clear and filtered water but not from the ispring system. I would save your money and search others on amazon.

Very happy with my purchase, system works well and haven't any issues with leaking, water pressure etc. Love the "taste" of water, so pure compared to my regular kitchen tap. Hopefully it will help me to get rid of my skin issues that I have been experiencing due to poor quality in Perth, Australia. Edit: THIS Filter has saved my skin!!! I have managed to get rid of my extremely bad eczema which no cream / ointment could heal. 3 year update - still love the filters, I don’t drink any other water than my filtered water. It tastes great and has healed my skin! My filter housing broke before Christmas and I freaked out as I can’t be without it! i reached out to iSpring and they were fantastic to deal with! Shoutout to Francis, your help is much appreciated! Best system out there if you have digestion or skin issues! Thank you

We’ve been using the iSpring RCC7AK system for a few weeks now, and we are genuinely impressed! The installation went smoothly, and the components feel high quality. Big thanks to Nick from the customer service team — he was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the registration process. One of the most impressive things: we’ve been using filtered water from the system in our glass electric kettle every day for two weeks — and there is absolutely no limescale at all. Not a trace. This alone is a sign of how well the system works. The faucet looks great and works perfectly, and the tank provides more than enough water for our daily use. Highly recommended! Thank you again, Nick — you’re doing a great job!

Ich habe lange nach einer zuverlässigen Umkehrosmoseanlage gesucht, da unser Leitungswasser hier sehr kalkhaltig und „hart“ ist. Gerade wenn man sich intensiver mit dem Thema Wasserqualität und Nährstoffaufnahme beschäftigt, merkt man schnell, wie sinnvoll ein solches System ist – und dieses hier erfüllt genau das, was ich mir erhofft habe. Die Installation war mit etwas handwerklichem Geschick gut machbar, alle Teile waren dabei und verständlich beschrieben. Besonders gefällt mir der zusätzliche Alkaline-Filter, der dem Wasser einen angenehm frischen Geschmack verleiht. Seit der Inbetriebnahme trinke ich deutlich mehr Wasser – einfach, weil es so gut schmeckt und man ein gutes Gefühl dabei hat. Für diesen Preis bekommt man wirklich ein hochwertiges System, das hält, was es verspricht. Absolute Empfehlung für alle, die Wert auf sauberes und gesundes Trinkwasser legen!

There is no price on health of you and your family. Great contact with Francis with minor issue regarding leaking tap, next day new one was send to me, no extra costs.

Amazing quality, easy to install using the guidance included
