This is a very nice unit, water tastes very good and once the filter clears (10gallons+ needs to run thru for that) it also gets a very respectable water output. The faucet is nothing to be ashamed of as well, unlike other/cheaper units.
The installation instructions, unfortunately, are not very accurate as they pertain to a different type of faucet. It wasn’t problem here but it might be an issues to some people. Make sure to tighten adapter included on the valve as it is lose to allow removal if you have different pipe size than normal.
You won’t need teflon tape on contrary to as indicated in other posts. All connections are compression fittings or have a nice rubber gaskets to eliminate need for teflon which might actually prevent you from screwing the caps tight enough for gasket to work properly.
Replacement filters. I ordered from different site since pricing on amazon is, unfortunately, somewhat high. I ordered from cfsco.net/waprrefipafo.html for much less.
I recommend this filter.

Considering the total cost of the unit and the maintenance cost of filter replacement, this purchase was a great value. Plus, when one of the parts was damaged I called customer support at Watts, I was assisted right away, and a replacement part was shipped the day I made the call. These days, thats what I call A++ customer service.

Great filter for the price. Removes a long list of contaminants. Installation is easy if you have a basic knowledge of plumbing. Read the instructions BEFORE you install! See manual at: [...]

You need to realize that the only difference between Watts WP2BVC and Watts LCV (500313) selling on Amazon, is the filter cartridge which fits both of them. You can make Watts WP2BVC yourself by replacing the original VOC filter of 500313 (1 micron) with Microbiological 2-pk one (0.5 micron) and save a lot of money (about 50% if you wait for 6 months till it is time to replace filter).
The original Watts WP2BVC they sell on their web site has a designer faucet with a battery indicator, not the cheap air gap one included here. The included manual is for the designer faucet, so people are having hard time installing the unit.
On a personal note, the included hoses are junk and the intake one (green) failed on me after a month of use flooding our kitchen. They are easily replaceable with fortified ice maker hoses you can get at Lowe’s or HD.
Watts makes ice maker houses as well (Lowe’s carries hundreds of their parts so I know), that’s why it is hard to understand why they include cheapest plastic tubes and connectors with the unit. They have everything they need to create a solid, reliable system but don’t care. The manual hasn’t being updated for years as well.

I bought this instead of the RO because of limited space. Easy to install if you have basic plumbing knowledge. Faucet is solid. GPM is low initially, but once the filter has cleared, it picks up to a respectable pace. Water tastes good. Don’t buy the cheaper Culligan, its worth the extra few bucks to get the nice faucet this unit has.
