I did plenty of research and chose Multi-Pure as the brand for my home water filter. But I have been having quite a time choosing the right Multi-Pure filter for my house.

First I ordered the Aqua Dome, which sits on the counter and attaches to the sink using fittings anybody can attach.  It’s the least expensive alternative, at $165.00 after the discount.  But alas, I couldn’t attach it to my faucet, which is a combined faucet/sprayer in one tool.  I couldn’t even attach it to the bathroom faucet, which is just off the kitchen. That faucet was an odd size too. Also, the unit is bigger than I imagined and won’t sit on the bathroom sink.

So I ordered the under-sink model 750SB, at $340 after discount.  Most householders won’t have too much trouble installing this, but we had a problem: the sink lip is covered with granite countertop. So it was necessary to drill through the granite. I am guessing that most granite countertops aren’t installed this way, but ours is.

Now, drilling through granite requires special tools and expertise.  So we located somebody who knew how to do it. It took him 15 minutes to drill the required hole. Pretty impressive, huh?  Then he hooked it all up and tested it, and we’re good to go now.

The water tastes great. I ordered some stainless steel bottles online for a reduced price, and we’re heading for a BPA-free household.  Won’t have to worry about the filter for a year now, when I’ll have to replace it. So I put stickers on the calendar and relaxed. Yay!!!
