User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Not quite an easy install
The Watts WP2BVC Filter I purchased is to eliminate the need for bottled water. I have read reports on various filter systems and the Watts rates high. I have city water with a chlorine smell and taste.

When getting ready to install make sure you have access to the plumbing lines. The so-called Adapt-A-Valve did not fit my existing water line at the supply shut-off. I had to go to my home improvement store with the valve and try to find parts to make it work. With another adapter and a new faucet supply line in hand I was able to complete the installation.

The water faucet that comes in the kit is what is pictured, but the instructions that come with the faucet are not for that model. The installation is completely different. If you don’t have clue about basic plumbing, I would get a pro to install it. Other wise you may be in for some leakage.

The water inlet and outlet lines are plastic, not really a long lasting material. I may change them over to copper to prevent any problem of leaking or breakage.

After flushing the filters for at least 7 gallons, the water is clean and no taste of chlorine. The cartridges are supposed to last for 500 gallons or 6 months and you can get a reminder from Watts web site.

If it weren’t for the fact that you have to purchase additional fittings to make this work and the faucet instructions did not apply, I would have given 5 stars.

4 Stars Water filter OK, installation instructions rubbish.
The water filter has been in my sink for about one month. It functions perfectly, but friends have suggested the lever on the faucet requires too much strength for easy operation. The main fault I found with this product is the installation instructions. They show a newer faucet than was included with the installation kit. The method of installing the different types of faucets is completely different. I could not find installation instructions for the faucet included with my unit anywhere on the Watts website.

4 Stars Water tastes much better
This water filter has greatly improved the taste of our water. It did have a low flow rate with an inlet pressure of 55 PSI so I ended up ordering a Watts Premier 3 gal. storage tank to use in between the filter and the dispenser.

5 Stars Pleased in Tucson
Product works great, only had install a week ago but will keep you posted. Make sure to run the water through system for awhile. Seemed to have a gray tint to water. After that its great. I live in Tucson and the water is awful here. I don’t use this system for drinking (I use bottle water) but I use this water for ice, cooking, etc. and it taste great. I would recommend.

4 Stars Great unit
This is a sturdy unit, and the faucet is very nice, as pictured in item description, although not the same as the one in the manual – you can see the installation instructions at Watts’ website. Only needed a small wrench to remove the cold water line from the supply pipe and replace it with the kit’s valve. I’d recommend a basin wrench if the top of your sink (where the faucet goes) is hard to reach from below. Follow the directions to run at least 7 gallons of water through before first use. Pressure is low until you get close to 7 gallons and the filters are saturated and the bubbles are gone. After that primary “rinse” the water flows slightly faster than one ounce per second on my well/pump supply which has another sediment filter upstream – municipal pressure would likely be stronger. I mounted the unit on the screws provided, but did not snug them down to the wall, so I can easily lift the unit out for filter change or inspection. There is ample tubing for any sort of mounting and removal from under sink.
