It\u2019s also one of the most efficient RO systems we\u2019ve tested and is very affordable to maintain.<\/p>\n<p>But there were a few issues we experienced with the Y7P that we didn\u2019t with other similar systems, including <strong>annoying design features and a time-consuming filter flushing process required for setup <em>and <\/em>filter changes<\/strong>. Plus, because there\u2019s no remineralization upgrade with this particular model, our purified water had an acidic pH, and (despite SimPure\u2019s misleading claims) the system isn\u2019t certified for contaminant reduction.<\/p>\n<p>None of these features are dealbreakers\u2014but remember that the Y7P costs around $150 more than the <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterguru.com\/waterdrop-countertop-reverse-osmosis-water-filter-system-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/waterfilterguru.com\/waterdrop-countertop-reverse-osmosis-water-filter-system-review\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Waterdrop N1<\/a>, which has a very similar design (without the Y7P\u2019s annoying features) and performed almost identically in our testing. <strong>With this in mind, we think it makes sense to go for the Waterdrop model instead.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But if you want a system with remineralization included, <em>without <\/em>any of the annoying features of the Y7P, you can spend virtually the same on the <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfilterguru.com\/aquatru-carafe-review\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/waterfilterguru.com\/aquatru-carafe-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AquaTru Carafe.<\/a> This system is currently the top-performing countertop RO system of all those we\u2019ve tested so far \u2013 and it\u2019s extensively performance certified.<\/p>\n<p>                    <!--begin code --><\/p>\n<div class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-layout-boxed multiple-authors-target-the-content box-post-id-71557 box-instance-id-1 ppma_boxes_71557\" data-post_id=\"71557\" data-instance_id=\"1\" data-additional_class=\"pp-multiple-authors-layout-boxed.multiple-authors-target-the-content\" data-original_class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper pp-multiple-authors-wrapper box-post-id-71557 box-instance-id-1\">\n                                                <span class=\"ppma-layout-prefix\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ppma-author-category-wrap\">\n                                                                                                                                    <span class=\"ppma-category-group ppma-category-group-1 category-index-0\"><\/p>\n<ul class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-ul author-ul-0\">\n<li class=\"pp-multiple-authors-boxes-li author_index_0 author_brian has-avatar\">\n<div class=\"pp-author-boxes-avatar\">\n<div class=\"avatar-image\">\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"brian headshot\" src=\"https:\/\/waterfilterguru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/brian-headshot.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waterfilterguru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/brian-headshot.jpg\" class=\"multiple_authors_guest_author_avatar avatar\" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" title=\"brian headshot\"\/>                                                                                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"pp-author-boxes-avatar-details\">\n                                                                                                                                <span class=\"ppma-author-job_title-profile-data ppma-author-field-meta ppma-author-field-type-text\" aria-label=\"Job Title\">President &amp; CEO, CWS, CWR <\/span>                                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<p class=\"pp-author-boxes-description multiple-authors-description author-description-0\">\n                                                                                                                                                    Brian Campbell, a WQA Certified Water Specialist (CWS) and Certified Water Treatment Representative (CWR) with 5+ years of experience, helps homeowners navigate the world of water treatment.
