Great but how about the TDS reading?
I didn't even know about TDS readings until you wrote this post and Googled TDS. I've ordered a TDS tester and will add a video after I receive it. It could make for a fun test of creek water, tap water, filtered tap water (using this filter), filtered refrigerator water with old filter, and then replacing the filter on the refrigerator and testing it.
Thank you for your input!
here you go. It did help.

Where did you get those braided water line to fit in the filter?
They came with the kit.
Cool thank you 💪🏿
You're welcome. Thx for watching!
Thanks bro helped me install
Glad I could help
thread tape is applied clockwise direction
Thx, I heard others say that as well.
It’s applied in the direction you turn the nut. This is so it doesn’t peel up as you turn. So depend whether you have a left hand or right hand thread. Most will be right hand so clockwise.
Hope you don't need your drain snaked, no unions on the trap. The teflon doesn't help seal the braided supply. Fyi
Uhmm, yes there are unions for the trap. You may not have seen them in the video, but they are there. As for the teflon tape, it came with the filter along with the steel braided hoses, so I am sure that that is what it was intended for.
Thanks for watching.

Not that it really matters, but the guy is right about the braided supply lines. There’s a rubber gasket inside the compression nut that you screw onto the shutoff valve so Teflon tape is not necessary at all
Great video thank you 😊
You're welcome, thank you for watching.
Had to remove mine after a one year test. 11 months to long. WD-RF15 filter
Why do you say it was 11 months too long?
@@TwoKeysStudio I know that after a returned filter that I thought was defective and purchasing a replacement, all three filters lost half the pressure after a month of use.
Great video, thanks!
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Does this one reduce fluoride in the water?
My understanding is that carbon-based filters do not, as this one is. Only reverse osmosis filters will remove fluoride.
Have you used it to make ice?
I haven't, but my water/ice maker on the refrigerator has its own filter.
Thank you
Hot water is not filtered just cold?
Correct
@@TwoKeysStudio Why is that? are there any that can filter hot and cold water? for kitchen sinks
It only has one line in and one out. You could simply add a second one for the hot side, but the temperature might be an issue. I am not sure if it's rated for high temperatures or not.
@@TwoKeysStudio Besides this brand are there any that you know of or that you recommend that can filter hot water without issues?
I found this in the Q and A section. It looks like the only way to filter hot water is to go with a whole house filter or possibly add a filter to the input side of the water heater.
"Thanks for your interest in our WD-10UA Under Sink Water Filter System.
Sorry to tell you that the 10UA system can only be used in the cold water lines but not hot water lines.
Because the hot water will destroy the structure of the carbon rod, making it impossible to filter. And that, the applicable temperature for the filter materials is 41-100.4℉, if the temperature is over this range, the adsorption effect of the filtration materials will be greatly reduced.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to give us a call between the hours of 8:00 AM-5: 00 PM (PST), Monday through Friday at 1-888-352-3558. We will try our best to help you out. Thank you very much."
