On InSinkErator's (ISE) recommendation, we bought this tank and filter to replace our 5 year old unit that still heated, but whose output was undrinkable - a funny taste due to corrosion of the tank (?). While the replacement tank and filter work fine, it was quite a job to install for this amateur plumber, due to ISE not providing good information or the right fittings. Our old unit used 1/4" copper from the faucet to the supply and to the tank. The new unit uses 3/8" polyethylene tubing. ISE should have known this, since we provided the serial number of the old unit when we called and had this unit recommended, hence only 3 stars. Gory details follow for anyone in the same situation.

The new tank is wider than the old one. So, I had to move the mounting bracket so the new tank did not interfere with the supply valve. When I called to explain the tubing mismatch, ISE sent an adapter for the line from the faucet to the tank (1/4" compression to quick-disconnect). However, the 3/8" to 1/4" Y adapter from the filter leaked when I tried it with 1/4" copper tubing. I ended up getting 2 1/4" to 3/8" compression adapters from Home Depot, which did fine with the copper 1/4" tubing and the plastic 3/8" tubing. Two are needed since the filter goes in between the supply and the faucet. Do-it-yourselfers will also need a compact tubing cutter and some extra 1/4" compression nuts and ferrules.
