GROHE Blue Pure Eurosmart Duo Starter Kit: C-spout Filter Tap - Separate Handle for Filtered Water - 28 mm Ceramic Cartridge - Activated Carbon Filter - Filter Exchange Timer - Chrome - 30383000

Works as designed, fits great.No issues.Installation was smooth.

I needed something to replace my Triflow system for filtered water.This is a stylish system that is easy to fit.The connector are for europe but adaprors are easily bought at a local plumbers merchant.Do a test: -Fill a glass of water at night, taste it the next day - that will convince you.My old system tested like mud. The Grohe was fresh (albeit warm) spring water.

This is a terrible product and has broken down twice. The first time Grohe replaced the tap as it was still in warranty but the second replacement tap hardly lasted a year but is now out of warranty. Avoid!

Love the water filter although its not as good as a Brita filter. Still see limescale/scummy layer on tea water but kettle is keeping clear so it's doing something.Bit of a faff to fit. The tails are European so you need adapters to be able to fit to UK flexi pipes. Screwfix has some for cheap.Be aware if you've got stuff under the cupboard the hose pulls out and the weight to return it gets tangled and means you have to move things around for the hose to return to it it's return position. Not ideal when you are using it.Instructions also not very clear either. Ended up watching a you tube video.Quality of tap is very good. Brass fittings for under the sink but you get what you pay for. This replaces a Franke tap - I've been through many and they end up leaking.Make sure you have a clear area under your sink. Otherwise if it's narrow and close to the waste pipes and other things like plug sockets it's a pain to fit. I had to remove most of the sink waste pipes to fit the water filter cartridge.On fitting it leaks a little bit but only for a short while and then fine.Overall happy with it but the hose feature is not worth it for me at least.

We initially ordered the Britta filter tap. The flow was just awful, reach wasn't deep enough. Switched to this Grohe tap and it's like night and day. Non spitting flow, amazing reach and overall Grohe elegance. I can't believe it was half the price of what we paid for Britta. Highly recommend it!

Just enjoying filtered water straight out of the tap, no more cumbersome filter jugs lying around the kitchen counter.

I bought mine for about £300 and would not want to pay more than this. The common price found is over £400. Caution: the top part of the description says it has a 90 degree swivel. The body of the text refers to 360 degree swivel. It is in fact a 90 degree swivel, or, more like 85 degrees. This was not enough for my installation. There is a tab that fits into an arced grove, that limits the rotation. We had to use a small hacksaw to remove about half the tab, to get about 100 degree swivel.The installation was not easy in a single-width but otherwise standard dimension cabinet. First, the flow piping to the filter is not actually long enough for the filter (and mine is the large one) to sit on the floor of the cabinet. A pedestal will be needed or, what we did rather reluctantly, was mount the bracket with a drill onto the side of the cabinet. Four inches of extra piping would have been enough. Second, there is a weight about the size of a tennis ball that retracts the extendable hose. It has to have a clear vertical run. We had to sow out the back of the cabinet and move some pipework in order for the weight to not go clunk knocking things as it passed by. For a professional plumber, it was about an hour and a half installation.Be prepared for lower water rate because of the German engineering. We have Megaflow and so good outside pressure. Yet, the German specs squeeze it down to just an average flow. This means the extendable arm does not give you a strong spray to help hose out the basin. The water coming from the filter is a very slow flow so be prepared to set your water bottle down and wait for it to fill.The timer is daft. There are only two buttons and no apparent way to set it to anything other than 90 days, and that is done by taking out and reinserting the batteries.Having said that, it is visually a striking fixture, very big and looking of quality.

The tap cartdridge has failed, and the tap is now leaking. A replacement part is £50 (not including labour), and the tap isn't under warranty anymore.On top of that, the dismantling of the filtered water tap is a very tight push fit, and replacing the cartridge to solve the leak means it will most likely get damaged, so not a great tap to service.Cleaning product to flush the filtered water system is at least £30, not including the required adapter, and has to be done every year.The water pressure is very low on this tap, I think it's the new style water saving feature. Therefore the hot water takes for ever to arrive compared to the tap it replaces.Other than that it is an okay design, and we like it well enough, just very annoyed that it is leaking.
