how is this installed to the tap water

I have had one of these units for about 3 years and the water is still being filtered efficiently. It has an adaptor that you screw into the end of your faucet and has a lever to switch it from the faucet to the purifier and then turn it back to have water come back out of your faucet. It's simple. Cheaper than bottled water.

I'm wondering the same thing. Wish someone could answer this, I'm really considering purchasing this unit.

There is a 3/8" tube going from each tap to the faucet. The connector needed to connect the water source to the tap is a standard faucet flex tube

If you are buying the portable water unit pictured there is no installation. You just hold it and run the water through it.

Yes! That's exactly how we use it. We have never installed the filter since we have water delivery as well.

On the return pipe to the pool or spa, tap a hole in the pipe and bolt the unit onto the pipe. Lastly screw the nature2 mineral cartridge into the holder. 30 minutes max to install.

Uses tap water, comes with some cleaning product to clean out hard water deposits.

Tap water is totally fine! And sometimes I put lemon juice in the water so it smells nice, too.

I use tap water however I have a water softener system and it works fine. The Protek shouldn't be a problem.

Hi Judith . Does your machine use this type of filter ? If yes, the filter should go into a filter holder in the water supply tank. Follow the instructions about soaking the filter in clean water for a short time and then rinsing it with clean water prior to installing. It's an easy procedure..

The water is filtered through the ceramics initially, then thru a 5 stage filter. There are also filter rocks placed on the bottom of the holding tank that I guess they consider to be the "8th stage" since your water sits in it waiting to be dispensed. The unit works and its nice to have it ready to drink when I want it. I am getting approximately a pH of 10-11 with it... it works.

I use the one that came with my sink. I've been using these units since the 80's. They just sit under the sink - and attach to the exiting faucet - by unhooking the flexible plastic tube that connects the incoming water line to the faucet. You direct the water from the source through the filter and the tube at the bottom of the filter (also that flexible plastic tubing) to the faucet connection precious connected to the water. I'm terrible at this sort of thing - but I'm telling you if - Mary Margaret the Moron can install one of these - anyone can do it. Ok -just read the other two responses and my ADHD-OCD is shining!

There is a carbon filter that comes with the unit. It fits in the top of the clear container that the distilled water drips into. If you empty the clear container into another storage container, say one in your fridge, the carbon filter just pops out, you pour the water into the other container and pop it back in.

It is installed on the wall. It is connected to the water line after the the filters. You can do the water line connection using rigid connections, but it is easier to use some ridged and then connect it in using flexible stainless to join the rigid pipe and the unit. It requires 110V electrical connection.

Very simple...it comes with male adapter for a kitchen faucet that accepts male connector most common in every kitchen. Make sure it is hand tight and the canister is closed tightly as well. Run the cold water for 5 minutes and good to go. I'm very happy with the taste and how this removes everything from the tap water, no fluoride is a plus....cant beat it for the amount of water it will filter. I have had Brita, Culligan Man and very impressed on this product, worth it!!!

I believe there in instructions on how to do this included. We currently just pour water in as needed. We are pleased with this product!

I have filter on my tap water and there is a filter in the coffee maker. There is to much junk in plain tap water in my house so I wouldn't use tap
