 Enjoy clean, refreshing, filtered water right from the tap |
 InSinkErator's filtration system lets you forgo plastic water bottles and rely on tap water to be the primary source for drinking, cooking and preparing hot beverages. |
Why Filtration?Consuming water is an important part of our daily lives, considering it makes up about 70 percent of our body weight. While it is reported that a healthy person can live without food for weeks, a person can only survive a few days without water.
The United States offers its citizens one of the safest water supplies in the world. Even so, many consumers are using home purification systems to help ensure the best tasting and safest water for drinking and cooking. In addition, others are consuming bottled water for reasons of both convenience and safety.
As for safety, many people throughout the country have no qualms about drinking tap water due to regular testing and monitoring by government agencies to ensure it is safe. Drinking water can reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. As long as those contaminants are at levels no higher than EPA standards, the water is considered safe to drink for healthy people. There are also cases where water may go unchecked. Many homes are on private wells, not municipal water, and therefore have no EPA regulation.
But numerous consumers still seek cleaner, better tasting water, as evidenced by the billions spent on bottled water each year. And because of recent reports that some bottled water supplies come from municipal water - not pristine water sources as promoted - coupled with questions about the safety of the plastic used in many water bottles and their environmental impact, consumers are left wondering what other options exist.
With an InSinkErator hot/cool water dispenser, the need for bottled water becomes obsolete, as it delivers filtered drinking water directly from the tap. Other instant hot water dispenser environmental benefits include:
- Water savings compared to other methods - Uses only what's needed, zero water waste
- Improved water quality with filtration - Reduces a variety of contaminants
- Energy efficient - Heats water at the source, no energy waste

Easy to ReplaceThe InSinkErator F-601R Filter Cartridge makes replacement easy. A simple twist is all it takes!
A 6-12 month time span is recommended for filter cartridge replacement (it is recommended that all carbon filters be replaced within 12 months), and the filter system automatically shuts off water when the filter cartridge is being replaced.
This system is ideal for use virtually anywhere filtered water is needed, such as with ice makers and refrigerators.

This review is from: Insinkerator F-601R Filter Cartridge for Hot Water Dispenser (Tools & Home Improvement)
My 1984 home has lead soldered copper plumbing, and we are part of a set of high-risk homes the water utility tests each year for lead content. Our home usually tests above the EPA 90th percentile level for lead content, and even though that is still not a "hazardous" amount according to the EPA, we feel better not drinking or cooking with the water straight from the tap. This filter removes about 99.99999999999999% of everything nasty, and the water is fresh and tasty. The filters are expensive, but we only need to replace them every six months. That equates to less than $10/month for super-clean water and better peace of mind. They are easy to replace, and my local recycling facility accepts them for recycling (call ahead, always!). My InSinkerator instant hot/cold + filter system is new (2009 model), and I've never had a problem with installing these filters. We first had the F-201R model (came with the filter system) before switching to F-601R for the add'l lead filtration,...Read more

Recommend instead of the original F-201R filter or the prior F-501R filter.
We replace the filter every 6 months.
When we are not at home we miss the convenience of the hot water (about 200 degrees) and cold water from the InSinkerator Hot Water Dispenser.
