Under Counter Water Filtration?

9 years ago

Can anyone recommend a good water filtration system that would fit under a prep sink? Preferably one that has easy-change filters?

I'm thinking of putting the prep sink next to my rangetop instead of in the Butler's Pantry as we NEVER use the sink in the BP for prep (or anything else for that matter). I'd like to have a GD, prep faucet, and water filtering faucet. Is this too much in a 18 1/2" cabinet? I have 48 1/2" of prep space on either side of my 36" rangetop and would love the sink on the left side of the rangetop.

Would anyone like to talk me out of taking the prep sink out of the BP? We will not have anything in the BP other than cabinets full of dishes and fine glassware. No wine or beverage fridges or ice makers.

This is similar to the setup I'm envisioning:

We have a Filtrete under counter water filtration that hooks right up to the main faucet. It's very inexpensive and we've been very happy with it. Easy change filters that we have to replace every six months or so.

I suppose you end up going through filters more quickly than you would with a separate faucet, but it only hooks up to the cold water, so we figure we're not using up the filter doing dishes or anything like that.

I prefer not having a separate faucet, but we have a smallish kitchen and I have kind of a minimalist aesthetic...

Oh, thank you julia42! I like this so much better than a separate faucet and filter system. The only water filtering info I had to go by was what we have here at the house that is 20+ years old and icky. Thank you for showing me this and saving me some serious cash :)

I've had this one for 2 years. Simple to use. Water is excellent. Faucet looks nice too. I don't sell them have any gain from recommending...i've just had good luck and my wife drinks a ton of water (we have well water) and I want it to be safe. Another option is going reverse osmosis.
