Unlike other filtration methods like reverse osmosis or distillation, Big Block™ Technology preserves beneficial essential minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium in your water. This ensures a naturally balanced, refreshing taste without the de-mineralization and "flat" flavor associated with over-processed water.

better water qualityStop overpaying for small, less effective water filter cartridges that require constant replacements. With the WaterChef U9000 Under-Sink Water Filtration System, you'll enjoy the luxury of great-tasting, premium-quality water at a fraction of the cost—all directly from your tap.

Featuring an impressive 1,000-gallon capacity, the U9000 is designed to handle the needs of most households with ease, delivering the equivalent of over 7,500 plastic water bottles—all with just one cartridge replacement per year! (Compare that to traditional pitcher and faucet filters that not only remove fewer impurities but require up to 25 costly replacements annually.)

Not only will you save money, but you’ll also reduce waste. Fewer cartridge replacements mean less environmental impact, making the U9000 a smart, eco-friendly choice for your home.

When it’s time for a new filter, ordering is simple. Visit waterchef.com to purchase your replacement or opt for an Auto-Ship subscription to have cartridges delivered automatically—hassle-free, right when you need them.

Intelligent Monitoring takes the guesswork out of cartridge replacement. Unlike conventional water filters for sinks with simple timer-based monitors, our Intelligent Monitor goes beyond by measuring your actual usage. You'll never discard a cartridge prematurely or continue using one that has exceeded its rated capacity again.

Expertly crafted from solid forged brass and built to meet NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 standards, this premium single-temperature faucet combines durability with style. A ceramic disc valve ensures long-lasting reliability, while a precision-engineered aerator delivers a smooth, steady water stream.

For added convenience, the Intelligent Monitor™ LED indicators are seamlessly integrated into the faucet base, providing real-time feedback for easy filter changes.

Available in four stunning finishes—chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, or polished brass—this faucet is designed to complement today's luxury kitchens.

PRO TIP: Replace an existing spray attachment or soap dispenser to install the system faucet without adding a new sink hole.

Simple and straightforward to install it does what we needed to do and it’s reasonably priced, especially for refill cartridges

In our other home, we have a water filter supplied by best filters, who went bankrupt. We were very happy with that filter and so we were extremely happy to find one of a similar design using a similar charcoal block technology. Installation of this was really pretty straightforward-there was already a hole in the sink where there had been a soap dispenser so no drilling was required. It is awkward of course to fiddle around under the sink, because it’s a cramped space and not because of a problem with the design of this filter. But it went in easily enough, connected straightforwardly, works perfectly well and does what we needed to do. This is a straightforward product to install and it does seem to remove the extreme swimming pool/chlorine taste from the water and I’m pretty sure it does a good job purifying it too. So I would strongly recommend this product on the basis that it is absolutely easy and straightforward to install, especially if you already have the appropriate hole in the counter next to your tap.

FAQS
FAQS
Have an Additional Question? Just Ask Us.
How often does the cartridge in the WaterChef U9000 Under-Sink Water Filtration System need to be replaced?
WaterChef filtration products are all about performance, style and value! Not only do you get a system that looks great and performs to your expectations, but one that is also designed to provide up to 1,000 gallons with a single filter cartridge! That means an average family of four can enjoy freshly filtered water for just pennies a day with the convenience of just one cartridge replacement per year – great for your wallet and your busy schedule! Of course, if you have more thirsty people in your family, or just simply enjoy a lot of water, you can replace the filter more often.
How will I know when it is time to replace my U9000 filter cartridge?
The U9000 System has an electronic Intelligent Monitor that tracks how much water has gone through the filter, so it will let you know when to change it. And, it will also give you a warning before the cartridge is completely used up so you will have time to order a new replacement filter cartridge.
Why does the filter cartridge need to be changed?
WaterChef filter systems have been certified to reduce the contaminants claimed on the performance data sheet. Every filter has a limited amount of capacity for the contaminants it captures. Even though water is still flowing through it and may still taste fresh, there comes a point when it is no longer providing the performance it had when new. Therefore, it is important to change the filter on time to get the best performance from it. There is nothing wrong with changing it ahead of time if you notice a return of off taste or odor similar to the tap water. A sudden or temporary change may be normal with seasonal factors or activities of the municipal water provider.
Why is independent testing and certification so important?

In an industry riddled with unvalidated and misleading performance claims, having a trusted, independent “third party” organization like IAPMO R&T, NSF, or WQA evaluate a water filtration system against an "official" standard or protocol that has been developed by industry experts, public health officials and consumer representatives, gives you the ability to make a sound and informed choice about the performance claims of the system.

Some water filter manufacturers base their performance claims on internal test results from their own laboratories, but you would have to know them very well to trust whether the performance claims they make for their products are true or misleading. Having a trusted testing organization “validate” performance claims gives you the peace of mind you are looking for when it comes to selecting the right system for you and your family.

Does this system remove beneficial minerals from the water?
NO. Beneficial minerals (such as calcium and magnesium) pass freely through the system. This provides you with filtered water that is both great tasting and naturally balanced.
Does this system reduce Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from the water?
NO. TDS is a poor measure of water quality. TDS in drinking water is usually attributed to the amount of calcium, potassium, and magnesium that is present in your water supply. These are beneficial minerals that are known to support good health. WaterChef systems have been specifically designed to reduce a broad range of unwanted contaminants while leaving beneficial minerals in.
Does this system reduce sulfur odor (rotten egg smell) in my water?
YES. All WaterChef drinking water filter systems have been independently tested and certified by IAPMO Research & Testing for the reduction of odor, including the rotten egg smell that is often associated with sulfur.
Does this system remove fluoride?
NO. While it does have a limited ability to reduce fluoride, it is very dependent upon the pH of the water. If you've had your water tested and find that fluoride is a major concern for you, we recommend finding a reputable manufacturer for either a reverse osmosis or distillation system. Be sure that the system has been independently tested and certified by IAPMO, NSF, or WQA for fluoride reduction. If you have questions or would like assistance, please call WaterChef Customer Care at 1-800-879-8909. One of our support specialists can help you find a reputable manufacturer that fits your specific needs.
Can this system be used to filter well water?

YES. While this system has been specifically designed to reduce contaminants that are most commonly found in municipally treated water supplies, it also has the ability to work well on most disinfected wells.

Prior to making the decision to purchase any home water treatment system, it is advisable to have your well water tested first. Once you have your test report, call WaterChef Customer Care at 1-800-879-8909 and request to have one of our water quality specialists review the specific substances and contaminants shown on your report. This will help us to determine whether this system is the right solution for you.
