A good countertop water filter that hooks up to the water line?

As a start, perhaps you may wish to re-read post #10.

With regard to water softeners or any type of water treatment for well water, it is commonly recommended on this forum for the poster to obtain a comprehensive lab test of their specific water before deciding on any type of treatment or equipment.

Since your water supply is municipal, the water system operator will be required to have each water source tested on a regular basis and provide the test results to clients, often posted on the town's web site. If a municipal client is considering a water softener, it is recommended to test water hardness directly at the client's home as hardness levels can vary throughout a municipal distribution system which is supplied from multiple water sources.

I already said it's not an issue with Denver city water, and why.

Omnipure does not list the thousands of custom filters they produce for companies, this would be difficult at best to maintain an up to date list. Onnipure is a world class USA filter manufacturer and they manufacture custom filters for many companies.

Alkaline filters require contact time, the media needs to be in contact with the water for extended amounts f time to work properly. We have some specialty medias that react quicker but each media has its own unique problems and quirks that have to be carefully considered.

Regardless, please ignore 90+% of the information you find online about alkaline water and its health benefits... the old saying "I read it online so it must be true" needs to be considered.

So just keep the Multipure SB750 then?

I guarantee that if you drink alkaline water you will never die. If you do I will refund your purchase cost minus the pro-rated value...

We're interested in a good, yet affordable countertop water filter that hooks up to the water line below the kitchen sink, and has a spigot that comes out over the sink.

Countertop, to make it easier to change. We currently have a Multipure and have to crawl around under the sink to change the cartridge, which gets me procrastinating until it starts tasting bad.

I found an article on "alkaline" at http://alkalinewatermachinereviews.com/alkaline-water-benefits/
which I wasn't aware of, so that's interesting.

Then there's a nice looking, well-rated, and affordable filter at http://www.apexwaterfilters.com/countertop-drinking-water-filter-alkaline-black.html
but it appears to only hook to the sink faucet, which...ehhhhh.... no thanks. And I'm not sure it would even hold up to the pressure of hooking it directly to the water line all the time. Perhaps one that had a closable spigot, might.

Just kinda thinking out loud here.

The Link of alkaline water filter you have posted is not currently working. After doing a little search i found the correct url: please check and replace.
