I had been using the Home Master TMAFC-ERP Artesian Full Contact Reverse Osmosis System for the past 10 years. I had been very happy with the water quality and the reliability of the system, but I disliked the yearly filter changing, as it often resulted in leaks. Every time a new filter needed to be installed, the plastic piping previously used on the older filter had to be trimmed by one-quarter inch. Sometimes, even cutting the piping was insufficient to stop leaks.
I decided to upgrade to a newer generation of Reverse Osmosis system, and after some research, settled on the Waterdrop X8 Reverse Osmosis System. It had a few significant benefits over the older Home Master, with the ease of changing filters being the main benefit.
The taste of water from Waterdrop X8 is slightly different from Home Master.
Waterdrop X8 System Review
Highlights
- Compact system without the bulky storage tank
- The three main filters (F1, F2, F3) are easily changed (without having to trim piping)
- The live TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) indicator shows the exact quality of water coming out
- Multiple indicators light up when filters need to be changed
Lowlights
- Higher initial price ($649)
- Required professional install (CK Plumbing), which cost $550
- Required changing my very wide and bulky Garbage Disposal for a narrow Moen. This cleared the way for the Waterdrop system and tidied up my undersink kitchen storage
- After using the machine, it flushes itself automatically after 10-minutes to clear itself.
