Quality is important when it comes to the home aspect of drinking water. The reason I chose to test the Moen 4-Stage Under Sink Reverse Osmosis Advanced Water Filtration System (F9900) is because of this. In my opinion, I would like to leave my sincere review on whether it really is as good as the hype makes it seem, after using it for several weeks.

What is Special About the Moen 4-Stage Filtration System

The Moen F9900 also gives clean, great tasting water directly at your kitchen tap. It is a four step filtration procedure that eliminates a broad spectrum of pollutants such as heavy metal, chlorine, fluoride, bacteria, and even drug residues. The system can only work with cold water but there is a storage tank hence you have filtered water any time you want it.

Four stages of filtration include:

  • Sediment Pre-Filter- filters out dirt, rust and any other large particles.
  • Pre-Membrane Carbon Block- eliminates chlorine, odor and other chemicals that may change the taste.
  • Reverse Osmosis Membrane -it eliminates dissolved solids, heavy metal and other contaminants.
  • Post-Membrane Carbon Filter- cleanses the water to achieve a clean crisp flavor.
  • Such a mixture makes sure that the water is not just safe but it is also much more flavored.

My Experience

The Moen F9900 was very easy to install. The system includes all the required parts and the manual is easy to understand, hence it can be installed by one self should you be okay working below the sink. As soon as the installation was done I could feel the difference in my water.

1. Taste: Change in taste was the most impressive. There was a slight tincture of chlorine or metallic taste in the tap water, but the Moen system water was cool and fresh and fresh. Coffee, tea and even ingredients used in cooking were more pleasant to the palate because faintly perceived tastes were more pronounced.

2. Clarity and Smell: The water appears totally clear and free of any odors. It is great to pour a glass and I never fear the chemical odors left behind.

3. Comfort: The storage tank would also make filtered water available on demand. This is a massive benefit particularly when one is cooking or when more than two individuals require water simultaneously. I do not need to wait till water filters slowly through a pitcher anymore or be restricted in the bottled water.

4. Health Confidence: I have confidence since I know that the system eliminates the heavy metals, fluoride, and bacteria. There is a sense of security in drinking tap water.

5. Environment: I do not need to use bottled water any more, which is better for the environment and more economical in the end.

Features I Loved

  • Good Filtration: The system eliminates a wide range of contaminants.
  • Better Water Quality: Taste, clarity, and smell were significantly better.
  • Storage Tank and flow rate: Ready to use filtered water at any time.
  • Stable Construction: The system is constructed to last and the filters and the membrane are easily replaced.
  • DIY Installation: The instructions are clear and therefore, installing it is easy for most people.

Things to Consider

  • Cold Only: It is a system that does not filter hot water.
  • Space Requirement: It should have a sufficient availability of under-sink space to the storage tank and filtration system.
  • Filter Maintenance: Filters should be replaced on a regular basis to maintain the water quality as per the requirements i.e. every 6 months sediment and pre-carbon, membrane every 1-3 years, and post-filter every 1 or so.

How It Transformed My Everyday life

The consumption of water at home has been made to be a nice experience since the installation of Moen F9900. I like to drink water straight out of the tap, something that I hardly did previously. Preparation of food and drinks has also become tastier due to the purity and cleanness of water. I also feel great that I am minimizing the risks of being exposed to the possible contaminants and reducing the number of bottles of water I use.

Final Verdict

I have used the Moen 4-Stage Filtration System over the past few weeks and am pleased to say that it is a good product. It provides clean, safe and good tasting water and is convenient and reliable. This filtration system is an investment worth making in case you treasure the quality of the drinking water you use and are ready to opt for a system that offers fair performance and convenience.

In my case, it turned tap water into something that one can drink as well as feel a refreshing experience. The Moen F9900 can be highly recommended to anybody who wants to enhance the quality of water at home whether it is to stay healthy, to taste or to be convenient.
