Tools and Hardware Reviews of Watts 500313 2-Stage Undercounter Lead, Cyst & VOC Reducing Drinking Water System

Customer Review: Best bang for the buck, but cartridges clog easily.
Summary: 4 Stars

Unlike others that had problems with leaks, so far so good. After 7 months, there hasn't been a drop anywhere. I will admit I was worried about the 'cheap' nylon tubes supplied and the fittings used but I had little trouble installing them.
I believe others may have reversed one of the fittings and/or over tightened to cause the leak(s).

Great close up photos from that user from New York, especially regarding the unprotected fittings on each end of the bracket. Real poor protection for those nylon right angle fittings. Mine weren't damaged lucky.

Could someone post choices for substitute filter cartridges, since after 7 months the cartridges clogged reducing the flow by over 50%. We use the filter very little since it is only the two of us. This is with all copper pipes in a 1920 house.

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.
