About this item
- Certified to NSF/ANSI 58, 6-Stage Alkaline Remineralization Layered Filtration - Exclusively designed to restore the natural alkalinity and mineral balance of water; this reliable and ultra-safe Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filtration system converts your water into clean, pure and healthy drinking water by removing up to 99% of over 1,000 harmful contaminants like PFAS (includes PFOA and PFOS), chlorine, fluoride, lead (removes up to 98%), arsenic, asbestos, calcium, sodium and more.
- GREAT-TASTING MINERAL WATER - A standard 5 stage RO system produces slightly acidic water with a pH of 7. 0 or below because the RO membrane removes not only harmful pollutants but also a few helpful minerals. The iSpring RCC7AK Reverse Osmosis water filter includes an additional 6th stage - an Alkaline Remineralization filter which restores healthy minerals and produces a balanced alkalinity, which gives your water a more natural taste than regular 5 stage RO water filter.
- LOW MAINTENANCE - Transparent 1st stage housing for easy visual inspection. Three extra long life pre-filters to remove large contaminants and protect RO membrane. Ultra fine (RO) filter to remove contaminants down to 0. 0001 microns; fine GAC filter to provide final polishing to the purified water and (AK) filter to finally restore just the right proportion of healthy minerals and a natural alkaline balance. The end result is great-tasting bottled-water quality.
- EASY TO INSTALL & NO LEAKS - The water purifier is designed for DIY installation and all necessary parts for installation are included. Backed by clear installation manual, instructional videos, and access to lifetime technical support. The entire alkaline system fits nicely under a kitchen sink. For leak-free installation, simply push tubing ½” deep into quick-fitting connectors and lock; no threading pipes needed. Note: Please ensure RCC7AK fits your under-sink area before purchasing.
- 100% SATISFIED CUSTOMERS - RCC7AK from America’s favorite brand of under sink water filter is the highly rated reverse osmosis systems. Comes with 1-year limited manufacturer warranty upon registration and lifetime personalized support from GA, USA, combined with premium quality components, this water filter is to deliver endless bottled quality drinking water right in your home for many years to come, eliminating plastic waste.

Product Description
Key Features of iSpring Reverse Osmosis System Under Sink
|
|
|
---|---|---|
6-Stage Reverse Osmosis SystemThe iSpring RCC7AK water filter is a multi-layered filter system that provides optimal protection against over 1,000 different types of contaminants, including arsenic, asbestos, chlorine, fluoride, lead (removes up to 98%), calcium, mercury, sodium and more. Safeguard your health by choosing iSpring as your first choice! |
Alkaline RemineralizationA standard 5-stage RO system produces slightly acidic water with a pH of 7.0 or below. With an Alkaline Remineralization filter, the RCC7AK restores healthy minerals and produces a balanced alkalinity, giving the water a better taste. It uses all-natural mineral stones as the filtration media and never sacrifices quality for quantity. |
NSF Certified TDS ReductionThe iSpring RCC7 line is America's favorite brand of water filter systems. All of our systems go through rigorous testing for air leaks, pressure, and cycle resistance to maintain our premium quality and high-performance standards. It is certified against NSF 58/ANSI for TDS reduction (58 for reverse osmosis). |

Transparent 1st Stage HousingProvides an easy way to visually inspect the sediment filter and view the contaminants being removed from your water. The transparent housing will give you a better idea of when it's time for a filter change before a problem occurs. |
Leak-Free SystemPush-to-connect fittings and 4-color coordinated tubings simplify the installation process and prevent leaking. The o-rings are made of premium materials to make sure that the filters will be properly sealed without any leakage. |
Online Support VideosWe know that a high percentage of our customers prefer a Do-it-yourself installation. We are investing in video production and an aftermarket platform to provide our customers the resources necessary for successful installation and maintenance. |

Why iSpring RCC7AK
Featuring some of the longest-lasting filters in the industry, the Reverse Osmosis system consists of 6 stages, each one designed to progressively remove contaminants and improve water quality:
- 3 Pre-filters: PP sediment filter. Carbon KDF (GAC) filter. Carbon block (CTO) filter. They remove large contaminants and protect the RO membrane from chemicals like chlorine and chloramines.
- The heart of the system is the Reverse Osmosis (RO) filter that removes contaminants down to 0.0001 microns – so small that only water molecules can squeeze through and virtually nothing else.
- Fine GAC filter provides final polishing before the purified water is delivered to the faucet.
- An Alkaline Remineralization filter restores healthy minerals and a natural alkaline balance, while also producing a more natural taste.
- The end result is great-tasting bottled-water quality.
- A booster pump is needed if the water inlet pressure is below 45 psi.
- A pressure regulator is needed for water pressure 70 psi or above.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
That is no longer the case! Now, thanks to this RO filter system, I get water from the faucet that is as good as, if not better, than the water I bought from the store. I figure I'm saving at least $25 a month in water costs, which will have the system pay for itself in way under a year. Plus, no more lugging gallons of water from the store or making unnecessary trips in search of water.
The system is fairly easy to install, requiring only the most basic understanding of plumbing and hand tools, albeit it helps to be flexible to get under your sink. The instruction manual is helpful, and there are several videos on YouTube to walk you through the process. All I can really say is that there's a big difference between watching someone else do it and doing it yourself. In particular, the instructional videos make it seem easier than it is because they're not shimmying under a kitchen sink with three drain lines, multiple water hoses and electrical conduits for a disposal and dishwasher.
I feel the one thing either missing from or not emphasized enough in the manual is that the storage tank can be stood upright or placed on its side. This was critical for me because the tank would not fit under my sink standing up, and I have a standard 36" cabinet under my sink. My drain setup may be most of the issue - you can see how complicated it is in the pictures. Of course, what little usable space I had under the sink is mostly gone, but that's a small price to pay for clean water.
Another potential issue with the instructions is with how vague they are regarding the installation of the drain saddle. It is recommended that it be placed on a horizontal section of pipe to prevent the sound of dripping water, but that's about all it says. My suggestion is to put it on a horizontal section of pipe just past the P-trap, preferably with the hole pointing straight up. Not only does this eliminate the sound of dripping water, but this might also prevent your system from malfunctioning should you get a clog in your trap, and it's less likely to leak into your cabinets if the drain saddle doesn't seal perfectly. I may be wrong about this, but I also think the videos missed the part about cutting a 45 degree angle on the waste water tubing (black tubing) to prevent the line from being blocked if it is over-inserted in the drain pipe.
The instructions also walk you through a system purge to clear the lines, tank and filters. I think a combined approach from the videos and manual worked best for me. As shown in one of the YouTube videos, I disconnected the line from the third stage filter to purge the first three stages separately from the rest of the system. Then, keeping the tank valve closed, I reconnected the system and purged the last three stages. This is especially important for the systems with the Alkalinity post-filter (Stage 5). I had to purge the last three sections for 30 minutes before the water stopped being cloudy from what I assume was excess minerals coming from the Alkalinity filter. After that, I opened the tank valve, let it fill once and drained it according to the instructions.
As for the hardware, my main gripe is that not all the quick connects had pre-installed, color-coordinated clips. However, the box contained a bag of extra parts that allowed me to perform the installation. I'm not sure if this was an oversight or just the way it is supposed to be. There was some water in the RO canister when I opened it to install the RO membrane. I speculate that either my filter system had been returned (possibly explaining the "missing" clips) or that the system was pressure tested prior to leaving the factory. In any event, the purge process cleaned everything up.
A few other minor gripes: The filter section could use some kind of handle to lift it and for holding it while tightening or loosening the filter canisters. Perhaps this is intentional to keep you from over-tightening the connections? Also, the mounting instructions seem like an afterthought. I really can't imagine anyone mounting the filter section under their counter. It is far easier to just slide it under your sink and rest in on the bottom of the first three stages or lay the system on its back.
Also, I installed the faucet in an opening in my sink originally intended for a soap dispenser that I never used. I cannot imagine most people using the included mounting hardware for the faucet, so that seems like it should have been a separate option. If it's of any importance, the faucet that came with my system is brushed nickel, but my original hardware is chrome. The distinction isn't that noticeable and I don't mind it, but it might have been nice to have an option (if there was one, I was not aware of it).
My system also came with a leak detector that can shut off the flow of water to the system if water starts to pool under the sink. My leak detector uses some kind of pulp material that absorbs water and expands to shut off the flow. It's very low-tech, but that may be a good thing. Some of the videos I saw showed systems with a battery-powered leak detector. Of course, batteries can wear out. Still, an option between the two might have been nice. I did not install the leak detector, so this is just an observation.
Overall, I am very pleased with the system despite my concerns and observations. The system is simple and sturdy. The water is creates tastes great and looks crystal clear. My only regret is not having purchased it sooner.

Next, the customer service for ISPring is over the top amazing!! They are always there for a phone call with me if I have a question. Nick, the technician for ISpring, is the person who handles my calls and is always available with kind, helpful, professional service to answer any questions. Nick really knows the system, but more important his customer service is beyond excellent!! I highly recommend this system. Not only is it priced reasonably, but it works like a charm and you have a service tech, Nick, to answer questions! My niece actually was the one who told me about it because she searched for the best one out there and came upon this company!!

The 6-stage filtration process, coupled with the pH+ Alkaline filter, ensures that the water not only tastes clean but also has a refreshing and revitalizing quality.
I appreciate the attention to detail that iSpring has put into designing this system. The robust construction and high-quality materials used instill a sense of durability and reliability. It's evident that iSpring prioritizes delivering a product that not only works efficiently but also stands the test of time.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the iSpring RCC7AK Reverse Osmosis System. It's a fantastic investment for anyone looking to enhance the quality of their drinking water. I highly recommend it to others who value ease of installation, water purity, and the peace of mind that comes with a reputable certification.
En México, la mayoría de las casas y apartamentos tienen tanques de agua instalados en el techo. Se alimentan por gravedad y, por lo tanto, la presión de entrada de agua es de solo 15 psi. Por lo tanto, actualicé la unidad para incluir una bomba de aumento de presión y un esterilizador de luz ultravioleta. La bomba es virtualmente silenciosa. La instalación fue fácil y tomó solo alrededor de una hora. La mayor parte del tiempo se dedicó a instalar el grifo de agua purificada en el fregadero de la cocina, ya que no había un orificio previo para ello. La unidad se oculta muy bien debajo del fregadero de la cocina.
Este es un ahorro de costos real para nosotros. Antes de este sistema pagábamos $40 pesos/5 galones por agua embotellada entregada (alrededor de $0.40 usd/galón). Como una familia de dos, usamos alrededor de 2.5 galones de agua para beber/cocinar por día (alrededor de 910 galones/año o $7,280 ps/año). Ahora nuestros costos de agua potable escalan con el costo de reemplazar los filtros y la luz ultravioleta. Encontramos que estas partes duran alrededor de dos años entre reemplazos. Cuestan alrededor de $ 4000 ps/kit, por lo que pagamos alrededor de $ 2000 pc/año en piezas de repuesto. Por lo tanto, nuestros costos de agua potable disminuyeron de $8 ps/galón a $2.2 ps/galón (o de $7,280 ps/año a alrededor de $2,000 ps/año).
Por lo tanto, soy grande en el producto como un sistema de bajo costo de mantenimiento y reparable por el usuario. También doy un saludo especial a "Don y Nick", ¡ustedes son increíbles!

Lots of pros to it:- water is clean. It tastes good. The price was good (I got it on a January offer). I like that it has a separate tap.
The only con that might bother some is that it takes up most of one side under your sink. I have the space for it but some might not. But then if you're serious about clean water it's either the space gone there, or space in your fridge for a filter or space on your side for a distiller....so....
Also if you're not handy around the house you might have to get someone in to install it. We did it ourselves but some may not be able to.
(I'm not being paid for this review I genuinely think it's great after trying so many other options!)
