Waterdrop KJ600 Reverse Osmosis System, Instant Hot Water Dispenser, 600 GPD, Reduce PFAS, Tankless, 2:1 Pure to Drain, Under Sink, TDS Reduction, Smart LED Faucet, Hot and Cold Water Dispenser Faucet

We’ve been using the Waterdrop Reverse Osmosis System with Instant Hot Water Dispenser, and it has been working very well. Installation was straightforward and took about 60 minutes under the sink. The instructions were clear, and the tankless design helped keep everything neat and uncluttered. The water quality is noticeably improved, with much lower TDS, and it’s reassuring to know it reduces PFAS. Water flow is fast, and the 600 GPD capacity is more than enough for daily household use. The smart LED faucet is a nice touch and makes it easy to monitor system status at a glance. The standout feature for us is the instant hot water. It’s incredibly convenient for tea, coffee, and quick cooking, and we love that it heats water on demand instead of using a traditional boiler. This not only saves time but also saves energy since it’s not constantly keeping water hot. Overall, this is a well-designed, efficient, and feature-rich RO system. If you’re looking for clean water, easy installation, and an energy-saving instant hot water option, this Waterdrop system is an excellent choice.

I purchased this product over two years ago to filter tap water to purify drinking water and reduce water hardness. My tap water has over 200ppm, and I was shocked to find that the GE refrigerator water filter was only able to reduce that to 160ppm. I had hard mineral buildup on my automatic coffee maker, humidifier, hot water dispenser, etc. After searching for a RO water filter system, I came across this Waterdrop RO system with high end filtration that met the NSF/ANSI 372 certification, is compact, provides great water flow, provides heated water on demand (for tea/cooking/etc), and has extremely easy to change water filter. After installation and startup, the water hardness was reduced to 5ppm! I have been using for over two years now and hard mineral issues are no longer a problem for my various appliances. For a family of four, after one year of extensive water use (drinking, appliances washing fruits/vegetables, etc), this RO system still filtered water to a hardness of 30ppm. I didn't expect it to work so well. There was a con - after a week away, I found the water heater no longer worked, and I could not restart it following the manual instructions. However, I contacted customer service who surprisingly picked up the telephone call after hours on a weekend. They walked me through to resetting the system and ensured it was operational again. They followed up with me on a daily basis for a few days via email to ensure the system continued to work. Another con (small con) is the touch sensor on the dispenser - if your fingers are wet, sometimes the touch does not register. An improvement would be to have mechanical buttons. In sum, I am very happy with the quality, functionality, longevity, and customer service for this system. If you can install this or find someone to install, I highly recommend this RO system.

I am on well water, and I have a very expensive whole house filter, scale remover, and silver bio filter. The well water at the sink still tastes bad, so I added a large flow water filter under the sink. This feeds both an instant hot water system and the sink faucet. Even with this double filter system, both the hot water and sink water tasted bad. The refrigerator ice maker on the other side of the kitchen was also having issues with its built-in filter because as the ice sublimated, it would leave a white powder residue behind, and the ice/water tasted bad as well. As the ice melted in your drink, one could see little white particulates at the bottom of the glass. So, all drinking water was bad, and I resorted to using 5-gallon filtered water on a cooler. There had to be a better solution. I am a hot tea drinker, and I wanted clean good tasting water from my well and stop having to buy the expensive 5-gallon water jugs at the store. So, I bought the Waterdrop 600GPD hot/cold water RO filter dispenser to go under the sink. I installed the Waterdrop and left the large flow filter that I installed earlier to filter the large sink faucet water. I was a little worried about the water pressure now having three filters in series and had a concern whether the 600GPD Waterdrop filter had a sufficient flow rate. My well runs at 75psi, but it has a large 3hp 3-phase AC pump that has at least a 29 GPM flow rate. I followed the Waterdrop filter install instructions and let it do its 15-minute flush. Then I tasted both the room temp and the hot water from the Waterdrop RO system. The glass surprisingly filled quickly. It only took a few seconds to fill the glass. Even with two filters in front of this third RO filter. What a success! Finally, I have pure water with no after taste and no particulates! When I opened the under-sink fill valve for the first time and sent water to this filter, the hot water took a few moments to preheat, but after this pre-heat, the hot water was instant. I have my temp set to 203 degrees F. I also disable the hot water child safety feature on the faucet head by touching the safety control and holding for about 6 seconds. You will hear a beep at about 2 seconds telling you that you can now touch the hot dispenser control and if you keep holding for about 3-4 seconds longer, the safety control will turn off and you can now get instant hot water by just touching only the hot dispenser control. I did have an issue with the Waterdrop faucet display being very hard to see. The display on the main under sink unit was fine, but the faucet display had an issue. Instead of sending the unit back through Amazon, I elected to contact the manufacturer directly by email. Their customer service responded the very next day. They asked for a few photos, and I asked them via email, could I just get a new faucet head only since I did not want to uninstall the whole system and ship back with water in it. One day later they responded that they would ship at their cost a new faucet head with a good display. Each day they checked in on me via email to see if I was having any issues installing the new faucet. They were very nice the whole time. I got the new faucet unit and all is awesome now. Their customer service by email was fantastic. They checked in on me almost every day and were patient with me and gave me time to install the new unit without closing the service ticket. They never abandoned me. They even checked in on me for over two weeks after I had told them I was successful with the replacement faucet install just to make sure I had time to use the unit and see if any issues surfaced. The unit is working very well. The email service people are just fantastic! So, all is well and both hot and cold water is fantastic. Crystal clear and no foul after-taste. I most certainly could remove the second under sink filter I have in front of this unit, and I may do that, but my water flow is fast, and everything is awesome and working well. Great clear water. Finally!!! Another few topics for DIY people... If you do not use the dispenser for 48 hours, the Waterdrop hot water filter will go into standby mode to save power. I use it every day, so I have no problem with a delay. There have been a few times I did not use the unit for a few days, and I had to wait for it to come up to temp, but it was a short couple of minutes. No big deal at all. The faucet display will inform you if it is pre-heating, so you don't panic about what is going wrong. The faucet display shows everything you need...temp, TDS, what is running (cold or hot) and it also has the up/down temp settings where you can easily adjust the temp. You do NOT have to keep touching the contact for hot or cold-water flow. Just touch until you hear a beep and let go. The water will keep running and when you want it to stop, simply touch the contact again. This is a great feature if you are filling large containers with either hot or cold water. Just sit the container in the sink and fill completely hands off. The following is a tip on how to better install the faucet water lines to the under-sink base unit. I have a very deep sink and only have a few inches clearance between the top of this unit and the sink bottom. This unit has a supply, hot and cold faucet lines, and a wastewater line attaching to the “top” of the under-sink system instead of the back or sides. That really is a tight fit and requires the water lines to bend 90 degrees within a few inches. The following is a must do to prevent damage or leaks…I bought what they call “90-degree bend guides” for ¼-inch and 3/8-inch push-in tubing to prevent the lines from kinking. (Waterdrop, you might want to include three ¼-inch and one 3/8-inch bend guides in your install kit.) I will include the pictures below. One can buy the bend guides on amazon for a few bucks, and you just snap in the tubing at one end and walk up the tubing with your fingers and push the tubing into the bend guide as you go. Now you have a 90-degree bend in your three ¼-tubing (wastewater, hot water, cold water) and you will also need one 90-degree bend guide for the 3/8-inch supply tube. Now your under-sink unit will fit nicely under your sink and never kink the tubing especially if you need to pull the base unit out from under the sink or rearrange its position. Now a quick story about how I used a Waterdrop filter on my refrigerator… I loved the hot/cold Waterdrop unit on my kitchen island sink so well, I have bought another Waterdrop basic 600GPD (without electronic controls on the faucet…this is extremely important to make this work with your refrigerator ice-maker/water dispenser) and hooked it up directly to my refrigerator which is against a wall with a bathroom sink on the other side to provide service for the waste water. Now I have crystal clear ice and cold drinking water. I had wrongly bought a refrigerator filter bypass/plug since this new Waterdrop RO filter is all I needed but learned that most new refrigerators have a built-in bypass and do not require a plug. You simply unscrew the filter from the refrigerator and just close the housing cover. Now I do not need to keep replacing my refrigerator filter. Those are expensive and are not required when you directly hook these Waterdrop filters in-line with the fridge. The refrigerator filter will also drop your water pressure too low to reasonably fill the ice maker or dispense water. I will say this important fact again…I bought a basic 600GPD Waterdrop filter with a simple “non-electronic” faucet because when you directly hook up the filter to the fridge, the electronic faucet with dispensing controls is not compatible! The simple non electronic Waterdrop faucet design allows the fridge icemaker and water dispenser to automatically work because the base unit will automatically work on just a pressure drop, not an electronic control. For those who want the Waterdrop filter to service the refrigerator and a basic non-electronic faucet to fill up large 5-gal jugs for a water cooler…You could tee off the Waterdrop filter output, one line to the fridge and one line to the basic non-electronic faucet. On my setup, I do not use a faucet but instead use a tube with a valve at the end and make it with the tube sticking through a cap that fits over a 5-gallon jug top. That way I do not have to hold the tube and I can more easily turn the valve off when the jug is full. After installing and flushing your Waterdrop RO filter, I would recommend throwing away all the old refrigerator ice and the first few new ice drops as well. Overall, I would rate the Waterdrop filters a 5-star, and I will gladly give the Waterdrop email customer service a 5-star as well. As of writing this review, the email service department periodically still checks in with me to see if all is well. That deserves an extra star, and I wrote back to the service department thanking them several times.

Clean drinking water with a tap of your finger. The ability to get hot or cold filtered water is so handy. The system does take up a rather large footprint under the sink, so make sure you have enough space. Installation was straight forward with clear and easy to follow steps. If you already have a hole drilled into your countertop, it is an easy DIY install. Taking off a star for how loud the system is when running cycles even when not in active use. The thing will be running and filling an inner tank but makes quite a bit of noise. That said, you get used to it and the easy access to water and clean design still wins. I would still buy this again.

Such a great solution. It is really as described. Good water flow, instant hot water. Regarding the noise it is not that much and you can hear the sound for seconds. The only disadvantage is if you want to change the temperature for the hot water you need to wait until the system adjust, it will take couple of minutes.

Ho installato il depuratore ma non mi da indicazioni della temperatura, TDS e non parte la scaldiglia, sapreste aiutarmi a capire il problema?

I’m really impressed with the Waterdrop Reverse Osmosis System! I use it to make my baby’s formula, and it has saved so much time. Having instant hot and cold water on hand is super convenient, and I feel safe knowing the water is clean and filtered. It was super easy to install and works great. The instant hot water dispenser is a huge bonus, perfect for coffee or tea. The cold water is always crisp and refreshing, and the smart LED faucet makes it easy to check the water quality. The smart LED faucet is a nice touch too. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable water filtration system!

Ho deciso di acquistare il Waterdrop Sistema di Erogazione Istantanea di Acqua Calda a Osmosi Inversa WD-KJ600 (600 GPD, senza serbatoio, rapporto 2:1) dopo una precedente esperienza non particolarmente positiva con un altro prodotto dello stesso brand, il Waterdrop G2P600. Proprio questa esperienza iniziale è stata determinante nella scelta: speravo che un modello più costoso, più evoluto e con funzionalità aggiuntive potesse risolvere le criticità riscontrate in precedenza. Purtroppo, le aspettative non sono state soddisfatte. Parto dal contesto: con il G2P600 mi ero trovato male principalmente per due motivi. Il primo, molto serio, riguarda la reperibilità dei filtri di ricambio. Dopo circa sei mesi dall’acquisto, i filtri non erano più disponibili su Amazon e potevano essere acquistati solo tramite un sito estero non italiano, con costi di spedizione elevati e tempi lunghi. Il secondo problema era la durata reale dei filtri, che sulla carta avrebbero dovuto garantire almeno 12 mesi di utilizzo, ma che nella pratica si sono esauriti in circa 6 mesi. Nonostante tutto, però, quel modello base aveva un punto di forza importante: la qualità dell’acqua filtrata. All’inizio riuscivo ad ottenere un valore di TDS intorno a 21, un risultato eccellente per un sistema domestico a osmosi inversa. Proprio per evitare di ripetere gli stessi errori, ho deciso di investire di più e acquistare il WD-KJ600, convinto che un sistema di fascia superiore, con erogazione istantanea di acqua calda, rubinetto LED intelligente e una portata elevata da 600 GPD, fosse più affidabile anche sul fronte della filtrazione. Dal punto di vista costruttivo ed estetico, nulla da dire: il sistema è moderno, compatto, ben progettato per essere installato sotto il lavello e l’assenza del serbatoio è sicuramente un vantaggio in termini di ingombri e igiene. Anche il rubinetto LED è intuitivo e ben realizzato. Il problema principale, però, resta ancora una volta la qualità effettiva della depurazione. Fin dai primi utilizzi ho notato valori di TDS costantemente superiori ai 300, un dato decisamente deludente per un sistema a osmosi inversa di questo livello e prezzo. Ho effettuato più misurazioni, in diversi momenti, convinto inizialmente potesse trattarsi di un assestamento iniziale dei filtri, ma la situazione non è mai migliorata in modo significativo. Questo è particolarmente frustrante se confrontato con il modello base, che almeno nelle prime fasi garantiva un’acqua con TDS estremamente basso. A rendere il tutto ancora più scoraggiante è il fatto che anche su questo modello si ripresentano le stesse incertezze legate ai filtri: costi elevati, disponibilità non sempre chiara e, soprattutto, una resa che non giustifica né il prezzo dell’impianto né quello dei ricambi. Quando si acquista un sistema di questo tipo, l’obiettivo principale dovrebbe essere la qualità dell’acqua, e purtroppo è proprio su questo aspetto che il WD-KJ600 fallisce. In conclusione, nonostante le ottime specifiche sulla carta, le funzioni avanzate e un design curato, questo sistema non ha mantenuto le promesse. Spendere di più non ha significato ottenere un’acqua migliore, anzi, sotto il profilo della depurazione pura, l’esperienza è stata addirittura peggiore rispetto al modello base. Per chi valuta un impianto Waterdrop, consiglio di riflettere molto bene soprattutto sulla gestione dei filtri nel tempo e sulla qualità reale dell’acqua filtrata, perché almeno nel mio caso il rapporto qualità-prezzo risulta decisamente deludente.

Was very pleased with this purchase. It’s been almost one year and it is performing perfectly. Hot water is the game changer. Making tea or instant coffee is so quick.
