This Avalon water dispenser and filtration system have a flow rate of 0.5 gallons per minute. Additionally, to delivering you hot or cold water on demand, this appliance also purifies the water. What is more, this model can remove lead, rust, chlorine, and even bacteria from tap water.
Features
The lifespan of the filters is average – 6 months or 1,500 gallons, whichever comes first. There are two filters, both of which are included in the package. Also, the setup manual and kit come with the unit. This machine doesn’t require water jugs. You install it to the faucet cold line supply. There’s even a helpful installation video on Amazon you can use when you set it up. The dispenser has a 30-day warranty, in case something happens.
Even though this model is larger than others that need a direct line, it is still compact enough to fit in small spaces. Its exact dimensions are 13 x 12 x 41 inches.
If you’re looking for a way to eliminate buying bottled water, whether it’s for your home or office, this unit is a good option to consider. It gives you three options – hot, cold, or room temperature. Just like most water dispensers on the market, this one, too, requires manual work. You press and hold the button until your vessel is full. There’s no option to press once for the water to flow, and once to stop it.
A nice thing about the system is that it is very quiet. There are two filters inside of the machine, which makes sure no contaminants are left in your drinking water. First, the water passes through a sediment filter, which eliminates harder contaminants, such as rust, dirt, and sand. Secondly, it goes through a carbon filter that gets rid of liquid impurities.
Installation
Its installation doesn’t take a lot of time. The manual and the video are pretty straightforward, and the job can be done by a non-professional. Furthermore, changing the filters is also a piece of cake.
First, you have to stop the water. Underneath your sink, locate the cold water supply and disconnect the pipe from the valve. Then, between the two, you must insert the metal adapter with a valve, which is in the package with the dispenser. On the protruding part of the adapter, insert the white tubing and tighten it.
Before you go on to attaching the dispenser and using it, you will need to flush the filters. In the manual, you will find more details on how to do this. When the filters are done, it’s time to set the unit up. Turn the two valves that you now have under the sink, plus the valve, which is on the device. Then you can activate the switches and pour yourself a glass of cold or hot water.
