Under Sink Water Filters-Looking for Specifics
Comments (20)kaismom - not to tell you what you should like or how it should be made but, in tea circles it generally acknowledged that only black teas get steeped with "boiling water" with the exception of "bagged" black tea. Most of the others get bathed in much cooler water, especially green teas which generally get steeped in 175 degree water or thereabout. Well below boiling. SO, these hot shots could even be fine for tea snobs not making a pot from loose black teas. Some of the heaters even get real close to boiling, too so they'd be fine for non purists wanting a fast cup, which is pretty much the point of an "instant hot water heater" ! A much bigger variable in a good cup is the water quality and the steeping time. Besides, people use these for instant cider , hot chocolate, filling the pasta pot for a quicker boil, gassing up the hot water bottle, and a few other things. I'll agree with you that these things are not really for the ritualistic tea connoisseur. (S)he is probably not going to to even consider this anyway as a cup is just as much about the "process" and the vessels as it is the nectar....See MoreUnder sink water filter and seperate faucet
Comments (4)The specs indicate that the 600A will work fine when installed in series in the cold water supply to the cold faucet. You'll need to get the proper hardware to make the connections. If you're smart you'll allow for a graceful retreat back to the way the plumbing was if your don't like the filter or it fails or needs service. Is there a particular aspect of your water quality you don't like because these filters will only do so much....See MoreUnder Sink Water Filter
Comments (4)We just wanted a basic water filter too, I use it for my coffee maker, drinking water and dogs water as well as for my plants, since it removes chlorine. We had another brand, which was about the same, but when we remodeled, my husband insisted on a different system, I guess the old type was much harder to replace the filter and you had to unscrew something to replace the filter, he says this is much easier, so you might want to factor that in, if you will be installing this on back cabinet wall. We have a separate faucet for it, but on this particular one you don't have to use a separate faucet, but I wonder if that means you are filtering all water? I don't know the answer to that, but it seems like you'd need to change filters much more often and you don't always need to use filtered water for everything....See MoreHelp: Faucet finish, hot/cold drinking faucet, under sink filter
