Watts Premier Standard Air Gap Auxiliary Faucet with 1/4" Supply Tubing Connection for RO Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration Systems, Touch N'Flow Spring Loaded Handle, Chrome

Works great, not too difficult to install. Would definitely buy it again!

This did not work on my GE reverse osmosis system, because it needed a air bubble faucet. But I ended up putting in a new single hose system, which this will work with. And it's nice quality too.

First off, the system seems pretty solid and works well. My only issue is with the instructions because someone at this company made the conscious decision to not include anything usable or even guide you to their youtube page that shows how to actually install it because connecting the blue tube to the faucet correctly is the difference between "this works great" and "F this company". Make absolutely sure that when you connect the blue tube to the faucet, bolt holding it together has been turned by a wrench and is tight, hand tighten won't cut it. This will seal the tube so you don't get any leaks at the faucet. I learned this the hard way.

This Watts premier air-gap faucet is a perfect replacement for our 35 year old reverse-osmosis (RO) sink faucet. We had the Watts RO system professionally installed in 1990. Over the years, we have increased the system's capacity. Eventually, the original faucet, also from Watts, just wore out. It didn't leak, but the handle wouldn't stay turned on in that position. This new watts premier air gap faucet is a surprisingly inexpensive exact replacement. It's half the price of many imported air gap faucets. Even better, it came with color-coded poly tubes already fitted. So they were a perfect fit to the RO system's existing connectors. Installation was a breeze. It fit perfectly into the pre-punched hole in the new stainless steel sink. It's clear that the faucet can also be used as a non-air gap faucet just by not using the red, black, and blue tubes that it comes with. Please ignore the slight and embarrassing line of stain on the top of the back splash. We replaced this RO faucet as a part of an ongoing kitchen remodel. This phase involved a new sink, main faucet and the RO faucet. Counter tops are the next phase!

All good

Summary: Black plastic lever can break in a way that is not visible to the user. I spent weeks trying to fix my RO water filtration system after installing this faucet because my original 12-yr old Watts Premier faucet wore out. Water stopped coming out of the faucet a week after install. I replaced the tank since it was old and history showed the tanks only lasted about 8 yrs in our system. Flip the faucet on. No water. I quadruple checked the filtration system. I have mobility and dexterity issues so it takes me couple days for each check. I can feel the water running through the system to fill the tank. The incoming pressure is set to 90 psi. The tank pressure is set to 5 psi. Waste water is running through the drain tube. The filtration system is working beautifully. I pulled off the faucet spout to see if something had been jammed inside somehow. The small amount of water that drained from the spout had little black bits of plastic from the black plastic lever. The brass pull release for the faucet's water valve chipped away just enough of the black plastic that the black lever appeared to operate in both the up and down positions, but was not actually lifting the brass pull to release the water. If possible, I would give negative stars for poor materials. Due to my inability to complete these checks and investigations within the time given, I am not eligible for a refund.

I read reviews concerning being always leaking or lever does not stay up. Here is the clue you need. The rotating spout lifts out and the lever comes forward and off of the valve. In operation that lever lifts on a barrel nut that threads onto the valve plunger. It can be screwed down where it eventually will always lift and keep the valve open (leaking?). The same too low adjustment could prevent the lever from lifting all the way but without leaking. Or backed off higher and eventually not lift enough to fully open and turn on the water flow. I seriously needed a replacement but after seeing the assembly method I now know I could have made my 20+ year old flat sided model stop intermittently dripping 2 weeks ago. The valve has to be removed from the bottom. It only drops out after unscrewing the brass inlet pipe. That pipe has a tapered end with an o-ring only to prevent leaking outside of the assembly. The key part is the spring assisted lift valve. It has two o-rings with one very small one that seats into the top of the fill tube. It is a 3 cent o-ring fix as long as you have access to unusually small o-rings not commonly found in assortment sets. That is unless you are a Butane lighter or miniature water valve specialist. Still, cleaning up all the parts on my old one made things work again and Now I have a hot swap spare in the event this one ever has an issue before I go to the old folks home. I will add for the brave who disassemble the old unit. The bottom removal is the only way to fully disassemble as until the bottom is clear and the top barrel nut removed it will be near impossible to remove the top screw in valve retainer (in spite of the fact I split a screwdriver blade and did so myself). Special note. When reassembling only screw in the top retainer flush with the body, not all the way threaded in. You can install it with a common screwdriver because the valve stem is not sticking through the middle of the slot. The spring tension will be applied when you turn in the fill tube. I would recomend using a double nut (nut with a 2nd jam nut) system so as to not damage the pipe threads.

The water dispenser tube on our kitchen sink RO water dispenser broke off at the base. I looked around and checked various brands before settling on this one, which seemed to be the same brand as the one that came with our unit (which we'd purchased at Costco years ago). The instructions on the box were complete, although a little unclear that some of the instructions for the non air gap were also applicable to the air gap (our model). Came with all the required hardware, plenty of tube length for all 3 tubes, perfect size, and was quite easy to install as far as the faucet itself. The overall job was a pain through no fault of the faucet - just very difficult to get access under the sink. But now it works great, better than new! I'd definitely recommend this faucet for anyone with a Watts Premier RO-TFM-5SV (ours), or similar.

Easy to install, works like a charm , on night two no leaks, my readings of TDS are back to where they should be, faucet is cheap but works great. expecting 3-4 years like the original.

Très satisfait !

Installed very well and works as it should…

The product appears well made, was kid simple to install and looks excellent.

Couldn't find anywhere else so bought this and works... but the water doesn't emerge with much pressure and the air gap makes a very loud suction sound after each use.
