With Auto-Ship, your replacement cartridges are delivered right to your door, when you need them. Simply adjust your next refill date or change your refill frequency to fit your needs.

The problem with this option is, due to hot and cold water sharing the same pipe, the water from the cold faucet may be lukewarm or take time to get cold, especially if you have a swamp cooler. Some homeowners turn their pump off in the summer to solve this problem.

Have you ever wondered why your hot water faucet gives you cold water when you first turn it on? Depending on the size of your home, you may wait a few seconds or even minutes for hot water. This is not only inconvenient, but wastes a lot of water.

Beyond cost savings, fewer water filter cartridges mean less waste. When it's time for a new filter, effortlessly order online at waterchef.com or simplify your life with an Auto-Ship subscription to receive your cartridges automatically when needed.

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

Big Block™ Technology provides superior contaminant reduction for a broad range of 78 common tap water contaminants, including:

Many pumps are designed with sensors and timers. The sensor shuts the pump off once hot water has made a complete loop. A timer allows you to control when the pump is active. You can set it to shut off automatically at night, while you’re at work, or when you’re on vacation. If your pump does not have these features, a plumbing professional can help you add them.

In an industry marred by unsubstantiated and overstated claims, WaterChef stands apart by prioritizing credibility and transparency. To underscore our commitment to delivering reliable performance claims, we have invested in rigorous independent testing and certification from the esteemed IAPMO Research & Testing – a pinnacle of trust in the water filtration realm.

Furthermore, our unique formulation allows beneficial essential minerals (such as Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium) to remain in your drinking water. This ensures great-tasting water that is cleaner, healthier, AND naturally balanced (without the de-mineralization and 'flat' taste associated with other water filtration methods like Reverse Osmosis and Distillation).

Bid farewell to the inconvenience and cost of frequent refrigerator filter replacements. Incorporate an optional Refrigerator Kit (sold separately) into your under-counter filter installation. Once installed, you can effortlessly supply premium-quality water to both your sink and your refrigerator from your U9000 System.

This is option is not for everyone. The cost of the pump and the additional pipe needed can be pricey. In addition, many New Mexico home designs make it difficult to add the pipe needed for this system. If this solution is difficult for your home or budget, there is still another option.

PRO TIP: An existing spray attachment or soap dispenser may be removed as an alternative to drilling an additional sink hole to install the dedicated system faucet.

The U9000 also tackles sulfur odors in drinking water and is suitable for filtering municipally treated water supplies and well water from most disinfected wells. (For well users, we recommend water testing before purchasing any home water filter treatment system. This will ensure that you choose the best filter system for your specific needs.)

A recirculating pump will end the wait for hot water. Whatever the size of your home, you can save your family time, money, and water.

You can have your plumber install a recirculating pump. A hot water recirculating pump is installed on your water heater, returning unused hot water back to the water heater. It is designed to provide hot water on demand.

You may be wondering how this effects your gas and energy costs. If the water heater is running continuously with water looping endlessly, doesn’t it cost more? Not necessarily.

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.

The distance hot water needs to travel is the reason cold water comes out first. When the faucet is on, hot water is drawn to the sink through your plumbing. Turning it off stops the water, but doesn’t return it to the water heater. It stays in the pipes and gets cold. The next time you need hot water, the cold water in the pipes has to be pushed out by fresh hot water from the water heater. The more piping between the water heater and the faucet, the more cold water there is and the longer it takes.

Enjoy the added convenience of an impressive 1,000 GALLON rated capacity, equivalent to over 7,500 plastic water bottles. For most families, this translates to just one cartridge replacement per year! (Contrast that with the frequent replacements required for the tiny cartridges found in pitcher and faucet filters, which not only remove less but demand up to 25 replacements annually.)

Your ultimate under-sink water filtration solution. Superior contaminant reduction paired with premium quality components, this rugged stainless steel system is built to deliver a lifetime of amazing water!

Hot water recirculating systemwith dedicated return line

You may not realize that you already have a recirculating system. A previous homeowner may have unplugged the pump. It is worth checking to see if you already have one, especially if you’re frustrated with the time it takes to get hot water to areas of your home. Your plumbing professional can help you locate your pump and make it functional. You can also check for it yourself near the top or bottom of your water heater.

Designed to complement today's high-end kitchens, this faucet is available in four beautiful finishes: chrome, brushed nickel, polished brass, or oil-rubbed bronze.

The IAPMO Platinum Seal we proudly bear is a testament to our adherence to the industry's most stringent testing and compliance standards—NSF/ANSI Standards. Valued by consumers, manufacturers, retailers, and regulatory agencies globally, IAPMO certification represents the gold standard in assuring the effectiveness and safety of our filtration systems. For us, earning your trust is paramount, and IAPMO Platinum Certification underscores our unwavering dedication to providing filtration performance that you can rely on with confidence.

With this option, an additional pipe that is designated for hot water is installed in your home’s plumbing. This system creates a loop from the water heater to the faucet and back again. The unused hot water is drawn back through this loop by the pump, so when you turn on your hot water faucets, you get hot water quickly. Water is not left in the pipes to get cold and you waste less water because you don’t have to wait.

This system uses the existing cold water pipe to send the unused water back to the water heater. This is a cost effective solution for homeowners who are frustrated with the wait for hot water but are unable to install the first option. The Comfort System can bring hot water quickly to areas in your home that take a long time to get hot water. For example, if your water is far away from your shower or kitchen, the recirculating pump will solve this problem.

Combining the power of solid carbon block filtration with a unique blend of proprietary filter media, WaterChef’s exclusive Big Block™ filtration technology maximizes contaminant reduction. This innovative sink filter seamlessly delivers 1,000 gallons (3,785 L) or up to a full year of impeccably filtered drinking water from a single cartridge.

You also won’t need to install additional pipe. This lowers the initial cost. These pumps typically cost somewhere in the $500 – $800 range, though exceptions do apply. However, this system does have its drawbacks.
