Home Master TMAFC-ERP Artesian Full Contact Reverse Osmosis System, 7-Stages, Patented 2-Pass Alkaline Remineralization, Fast 4.5s Fill Rate, 1:1 Waste Ratio, 8.5” Catalytic Carbon, 5-Yr Limited Parts

A little back story... We used to live in Western NC, in the Asheville area. Our home had its own private well, fed by a natural spring that came down the mountain. The water was sweet... delicious... had body and substance... and was always a pleasure to drink. We couldn't find any better. Couple years back, we moved from NC to Northwestern Ohio, where we found ourselves on Municipal water fed by Lake Erie. On a good day, the water tasted foul by comparison. Enter "Toxic Algae Blooms" on Lake Erie. A certain bottled water corporation (as well as other companies) was siphoning water at such an alarming rate, it lowered the water table, and the Toxic Algae Blooms became very problematic. So, not only did the water taste foul, it tasted like "pool water", trying to combat the algae. You could pour a glass, set it out overnight, and you would see particulate separation. Ew. Disgusting. Gross. SO..... ever since we've lived here, we purchased Filtered Water at the self-serve stations at our local supermarkets. The Filtered water... although it was clean, it was flat. Virtually flavorless. It was "dead water". It tasted like "air". Though it was safe to drink, it offered no real benefit outside of being a "liquid". It was the best we could get at an affordable price, while keeping up with sustainability in plastic reduction. We had a small army of 5 Gallon PBA free bottles, that are recyclable. SO.... it was time to bite the bullet, and purchase a Reverse Osmosis kit for the house. After reading pages and pages of reviews (which are all subjective, always consider the source), and watching YouTube reviews and comparisons... I decided on the Home Master TMAFC-ERP Artesian Full Contact Undersink Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System. It arrived in a neat, well packed box, bagged and tagged. After snipping all the zip-ties, the Flying Spaghetti Monster lay on the floor at my feet. I was a bit intimidated. Everyone and their mother says to "READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST"... so I did. Let's see.... hmmm..... Three brackets.... four connections.... snap it in.... done. 30 minute installation, and I was taking my time. The longest part of the whole operation was performing the Fill/Drain/Purge procedure to get everything working correctly. Now, that first glass of water. To sum it up in one word: Bliss. It tasted EXTREMELY close to that natural spring-fed water we used to have. It has body... it has weight... it feels like you are actually drinking something besides "liquid air". The flavor has a bit of sweetness to it, with a bit of an aftertaste that is "mineral-esque". Very pleasant. Now, just because something is "new", doesn't necessarily mean it's "perfect". Sometimes things can go wrong during manufacturing, that can go un-noticed during QC. I had questions... I called their Customer Service to ask if something was a "characteristic", or a potential issue, since I don't have a reference or a baseline. I noted there was a small leak at one of the fittings of the "Shut-Off Valve" as well. INSTANTLY, they directed me in a shut-down procedure, remove this pipe, connect to that, pull this, stick that, twist this around... and VIOLA!!! The Shut-Off valve was removed, and operating perfectly without it. They said they will send me a new one. later THAT DAY, I receive an email about shipping notification. The new part arrived, with some extra goodies to say "sorry for the inconvenience", and instructions on installation. Back in business in less than 5 minutes. DONE!! The system is working FLAWLESSLY, producing some might fine water, and I am extremely happy I went with this choice... Outstanding product, outstanding Customer Service, outstanding Warranty... You can't go wrong with this setup. ALSO.... given the fact these modular filters are literally "Plug 'n' Play", installing this unit in tight, under-counter spaces makes filter changing that much easier, as opposed to the standard "screw-on" type, and the tools needed (like the spanner) to do the removal... Once the system is de-pressurized, disconnecting the hoses only gave me a dribble, not a spillage. Consider that as part of your decision making.

We’ve owned this RO model for 2 years now and have been completely satisfied. I spent a ton of time researching water filters and many different brands. We used to hv a kinetics RO filtration system and that one always felt frustrating in their lack of available customer care or testing and really expensive. My parents also owned one of those and live out in the country where they are on a Well system and have to have a pretty complicated set up to get their water to taste right and to be clear etc. and we were both really done with that unit and its lack of support. We each did our research and concluded that this model from Perfect Water was the bees knees! I think the value of the system is incredible. It hit all the points we wanted such as excellent customer service and excellent filtration results with great taste and a great testimony for reliability and minimal maintenance. It was also important to me this time we had a re-mineralization kit of some sort as I was quite concerned about the acidity of RO filters. I love that this one covers all of that and we also got the Permeate pump which greatly increased the flow and the efficiency and we’ve been 100% pleased with that. We have a lot of company and a family of five and we have no trouble keeping up with all the water we could ever want. Everyone’s pleased with the taste so while I can’t say it’s superior when I compare it to our favorite vacation place that has excellent Sweetwater for whatever reason :-). But we use municipal water and the filtration results off of that are totally acceptable. My husband finds it easy to change out the filters and we also got the refrigeration kit and that has run flawlessly for two years. I feel like this company has refined every aspect of the water filtratiin system and given the most simple, best value, along with a combination of really high-quality that I can trust— I feel like this unit is the best all around RO water system out there and they’ve definitely earned my trust. There are other water systems out there that cost a whole lot more and have their own fancy take on what they think is the perfect water but I feel they’re chasing down rabbit holes that the general world population really doesn’t have to have to be healthy!!! Just good pure water with the right amount of minerals is sufficient and for that this model covers that need in a superior way without going overboard. We did get special testing done and tested the acidity and I was very pleased with how neutral everything came out I feel like it’s very healthy for our systems and our teeth. I would totally recommend this system for anyone really picky who wants low maintenance, ease of simple installation, very fast flow with the pump, excellent customer care ahead of the rest, and natural remineralization. Top notch.

Top tier quality for all drinking water needs! It took me a while to conduct research on a RO system. I came across this product (thanks Chat GPT) and also compared to other popular items on the market. This item in specific stood out because of the pump that reduces water waste. Excellent for the water bill. The system is easy to install, and instructions are seamless and clear to follow. The water quality is exceptional! Highly recommended for anyone searching for clean tasting water and competitive pricing!

Excelente producto, lo único malo es que todo viene preparado para 3/8” y no 1/2” NPT. Afortunadamente contacté a servicio a cliente en EUA y me enviaron gratis el aditamento para instalar en 1/2” NPT. Estaba un amigo mío en EUA y fue por eso que pudo traérmelo. En Amazon no he visto que vendan el kit de 1/2” o el extensor, pues mi granito era grueso. Una vez teniendo todos los componentes, fue una instalación sumamente rápida. Las instrucciones muy claras en el manual, aunque utilicé mejor los videos disponibles de Instalación.

I have been using this system for 4 years now and can tell you it has stood the test of time! From the time of installation until now I have not had any problems. Even if I did need help, the customer service is matchless. The company offers great, friendly customer phone support for all my filter changes and they take the time to help me step by step. They also have helpful YouTube videos. I love the fact that water wastage is way less than other systems with a 2:1 ratio. Filter change is simple and quick. Fills water extremely fast. Most importantly, I am still enjoying great tasting, purified water year after year! I highly recommend this system.

I purchased this reverse osmosis unit about a year ago in 2015. I spent a few hours researching various brands and decided on this one. It arrived within 4 business days. It was fairly easy to install and came with instructions. I watched some online videos as well. It took me about 45 mins to install. I did not need to go out to get anything, all the connections and tubing was included. Make sure the connection to the water tank is really tight and keep an eye on the unit after you've installed it. I thought I had tightened it enough and didn't want to over tighten the connection, but after a little while there was a small drip of water coming from the top of the tank. I tightened it and then it stopped. I've owned this unit for a year now and am replacing the filters. My family drinks a lot of water daily and my wife uses the water to grow her house plants and wheatgrass. We've been extremely happy with the taste of the water. In our past home we used a GE reverse osmosis system, but the Home Master unit has been far better, both in taste, pressure and longevity. We're now planning on connecting the unit to our fridge.

The product is great, however my plumber was not inclined to install it as its not watermarked which in Australia is apparently required, due to the differing mains water pressure that AU vs USA has. I pleaded with my plumber to install it anyways and he did on the proviso that I install a water surge protector (called something different) before the system. Thsi was not mentioned on the product info before purchase therefore 4 star. Water quality is great though. Just messing around for install.

No me gustó el grifo, esperaba mejor calidad en el material
