We installed this system in a single-sink IKEA cabinet that already has a fairly large garbage disposal installed right in the middle, and the P-trap already occupying one side. Although it was a tight squeeze for the tank, everything fit quite well, as you can see from the photos above. Even though I'm not a contractor, and have never put one of these systems in before, I was able to get everything done in about an hour of active time, not counting the wait time to sanitize and flush the system. Style-wise, the curved contour is a fairly close match for the Moen pull-down faucet. The only thing here is that while the body and tip of the tap are polished, the neck part is satin-finish for some reason. It's a little odd - I would have expected some more consistency there. In fact, the tap element was the only imperfect item in the whole setup, because as shipped, the valve leaks while water is dispensing. I think it's the washer in the handle/stem, because the O-ring joint is dry. The instructions, while obviously written for an experienced professional, are quite able to be followed by someone with a moderate technical ability. You'll need to know how to drill the hole in your sink top. The only thing I felt was lacking was some sort of diagram for installation in a single basin with garbage disposal (they only show a single basin with no disposal or a double basin, and instruct you not to connect the drain line to the disposal output to prevent contamination). Similarly, if you already have an air gap for a dishwasher, there's no diagram for this scenario either. My solution was to purchase a new dual air gap that was specifically designed for both the dishwasher outlet and the RO waste outlet. These are readily available on Amazon for $20-30, and made the installation much easier. Although I have the model that has an air gap integrated into the faucet, I bypassed that setup entirely and just ran the waste line to the new one I purchased. The dishwasher and RO paths are completely separated, and there's no risk of cross-contamination, The storage tank is more than adequate volume for the needs of our 3-person family, and the 7psi empty pressure is enough to provide good flow all the way until the tank is empty. Our line pressure is just shy of 100psi most times, so I'm probably lucky when it comes to fill times. If you're not familiar with your line pressure, I'd definitely test it and consider a booster pump if yours is below the recommended pressure. You can install one inline with this system. As for water quality, the taste is excellent. We live in Southern California, where the DWP water typically has a LOT of chloramine added (I tested). The output of this system tastes more like Sierra water now!
