Two-stage filtration removes VOCs to give you cleaner water straight from the tap.
During the lifecycle of a single filter, you can save up to 16,000 plastic bottles from being deposited in landfills. Two-Stage Filtration Removes Contaminants
The Watts WP-2 filters drinking water in two stages. Once the system is connected, water from the tap passes through a five-micron sediment filter, followed by a heavy-duty one-micron carbon block filter that reduces lead, parasytic cysts, and chemicals. This specially formulated filtration process is capable of reducing cryptosporidia, giardia, entamoeba, and toxoplasma, as well as a long list of chemicals--from herbicides and pesticides to disinfection byproducts and gas additives.
Cleaner Water Straight from the Tap
It is estimated that VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) are present in one-fifth of the nation's water supplies. These contaminants can enter ground water from a variety of sources, including herbicide and pesticide runoff, gasoline or oil spills, leaking underground fuel tanks, disinfection byproducts, septic system cleaners, and chemicals used in the dry cleaning industry.
The WP-2 keeps you safe from these and other chemicals with its two-stage filtration, so you can turn on the tap with the assurance that you're getting cleaner, healthier drinking water.
The Importance of Drinking Clean Water
Water is critical to proper food digestion, kidney health, brain function, blood health, joint functionality, and more. It's important to make sure that the water you drink is devoid of contaminants. Thankfully, using a Watts water filtration device will ensure consistent quality for all of your drinking and cooking needs. In fact, when you use Watts' high-quality certified water treatment devices and filters, your water will be free of chlorine taste and odors, particles, and many other contaminants that can be detrimental to your health.
*Please refer to the Performance Data Sheet for the complete list of claims for which this system is certified.
Not only is the WP-2 filter a healthy choice for you, but it's also a healthy choice for the environment. This filter helps you minimize the harmful environmental consequences of buying bottled water. Incredibly, if a mere ten percent of North America's bottled water intake were reduced by switching to home-filtered water in reusable containers, we could eliminate:
- 133,000 trucks driving an average of 500 miles--saving nearly 12 million gallons of diesel fuel
- Over 100 million pounds of greenhouse gasses--equal to taking 1,100 cars off the road annually
- 213 million pounds of PET--equal to 1.5 million barrels of crude oil or improving the PET recycling rate by 10%
Depending upon which Watts water-filtration product you use, you can prevent up to 16,000 half-liter bottles from being deposited in landfills--all in the time it takes to use and replace a single filter.
The Watts Premier WP-2 LCV Water Filtration Device is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Prior to my purchase I had seen one or two reviews talking about the green tube coming off. The connection for the tubing is via a push connector. I have a good amount of previous experience with this type of connector because I have had to install them on industrial pneumatic applications. I have never had a problem with this type of connector including on this product. If you want peace of mind, by all means swap it for some compression fittings. But either way, don't let that prevent you from purchasing this product
As I mentioned before I have done a number of industrial pneumatic installations. In those, I have dealt almost exclusively with the Watts brand for their pneumatic filters and regulators. Watts is an excellent and reliable brand for pneumatics and I found that to be the case here as well. The construction of this product and the faucet are solid. Not flimsy at all.
The installation was incredibly easy. If you don't have any obstructions under the sink or other hindrances, you could easily have this installed in 30 to 45 minutes.
Like I mentioned before it's been 3 months. I am still on my first set of filters. With a family of 5 this product sees a lot of use. I expect I'll be replacing the filters in another month or two. At that pace I am still realizing cost savings since i was replacing my faucet mount filters every 6 to 8 weeks.
I also must mention the quality of the water. I found it to be NOTICEABLY better than the faucet mounts.
Shipping was quick and packaging was fine.
I am very happy in every aspect of this purchase.
in NYC you can get away with 2 stages because all you really need is particulates (mechanical) and chloramine (chemical) filters so i didn't use the included carbon block which is really optimized for metals and voc which is not really an issue in most post war NYC apt. i gave the filter to a friend living in Philly where they drink processed river water full of metal and voc risk.
i interrupted a 1/2" cold side hose connection with the included T connector tap, which from it's weight i'd guess is ceramic. despite only being a 90° turn, it was not full on full off but allowed for partial on in case you want to lower your flow rate which i consider optimal whenever you are doing chemical filtration.
since the included T water filter hose connection is a push in (no screw on collar like the cans) i added my own silicon grease to increase adhesion and insure the seal. the blue and green water hoses connect to the cans with an added screw on collar which i like to see, yet also greased up, as well as the o-ring inside each can. i tested the 10" filter clearance to make sure there was no extra space at the top or bottom of each filter for water to cheat the media and simply flow above and below the 10" filter.
you can do this by adding a gasket from another filter, and if you can't fully water tight close the can, you know the original single gasket should do the trick on it's own. when you look at other review photos, keep in mind this set has been on the market for nearly 15 years, so over time Watts must have changed and improved things a bit, because the unit i got was fairly robust and more trustworthy than some of the other generic junk i've seen for sale. still, if you DIY you may wanna invest $5-$10 in a battery water alarm just in case... i always do this for every under counter filter i install, just so everyone can sleep better at night knowing that it isn't raining on their downstairs neighbor...

This unit makes a world of a difference over the Btira. Even though our city water is "clean", this makes it so much more enjoyable and tea/coffee much better. Of course this is all subjective but knowing that this is a VOC and other contaminate filter is a great bonus over the Brita in the event city water might be compromised without the city knowing.
This unit is now used for all drinking and for humidifiers (ultrasonic)
Pros:
Benefits of this design is that it's universal, meaning any filter element can be used.
simple installation (if you've done some plumbing before)
All-in-one kit
Allows the use of sink and water filter at the same time unlike the other add-on units.
inexpensive vs btia filter costs (filter life per volume of water)
Cons:
Water tap unit into main line. It leaked slightly when the plastic line was not aligned correctly.
Does not include a wrench to change filter when that's needed. Had to order a "Watts WR-100 Filter Housing Wrench"
Annoyances:
Slow flow. Not really a big issue knowing what it's filtering but it can take time to fill a pitcher.
Packaging, others noted broken parts but I did not have any. It's sitting in a box with no internal padding so the filter plastic bits that are sticking out are at risk
Concerns:
Given the other reviewers notes about line blowout I was initially worried. I ran the unit with the valve open just slightly so that pressure is there but if it blows out I wouldn't have a flooded kitchen. I've since have it on full volume now and still no leaks or signs of blowout. Possible issues with others' installations might be due to stressed plastic lines, or in other words extreme twists and stresses on the junctions?
Suggestions:
For the DIY people out there, don't work/force the lines into place. If it takes any effort to install the water lines then you're probably doing it wrong and risk a blowout of the plastic lines.
4-star: No wrench and concerning plastic parts. Otherwise great unit and I do recommend it.
Top reviews from other countries
The system was easy to install, with directions. The inlet valve included was a bonus as I was expecting one of those cheap saddle valves included with other systems. I had a leak from the compression fitting at the tap. When I first turned the system on. That was corrected after I reconnected it. Making sure the hose was pushed fully into the stem. After running the recommended 3 gallons through the system the water came out a little bit cloudy at first. This is due to air. After settling and tasting the first glass, I'm convinced this was a great buy. The flow is very good. Faster than a Brita. And tastes better.

After settling and tasting the first glass, I'm convinced this was a great buy. The flow is very good. Faster than a Brita. And tastes better.
The only thing I don't like is the flow rate is low I guess because it has to travel through the two filter elements.
But the water taste very good even after 6 months of using it. I have had this filter system now for almost three years and only changed the filter elements once. It is a great water filtration system that is fairly inexpensive.
Installation was not difficult and it took me two hours to locate , connect to cold water lead and place two screws for hanging this unit under the sink cabinet.
I was a little weary on the plastic diverter / shut off valve and plastic compression joint but it all went well and is working as it designed to be. I bought the extra filter and wrench as i find turning this thing with manual muscle power is straining.
All in all, this thing works well and i have been drinking tasty water from the unit.
One star off for having to depress the lever all the time to fill, i would prefer if this thing has a shut off valve to save my thumb.
