How to install an undersink water filter

Greg show how to install an unde rsink water filter and a dedicated spigot near the sink.

Please rate and comment on this video.

This video shows every step in the installation: Where to place the spigot, drilling through the granite countertop, mounting the filter, and the use of both a push fitting and a ferrule ring fitting to join water supply tube ends.
We use a Body Glove filter for this installation, which provides some advantages over a reverse-osmosis system, although as with any filter system, it does not "purify" the water as completely as an RO system. However, the filter system is less expensive, does not produce waste water in the filtering process, and filters on demand - thus providing no opportunity for pre-filtered water to become "stale."
Also see the video on How to Replace an Angle Stop (shut off valve) which was done in preparation for the water filter installation:

this does not get rid of fluoride

@frankyboi187 I forget, go online to Water Inc.com go to Bodyglove get specs. I think it does. Fluoride has had the Max. Level allowed raised by the EPA for political reasons. Fluoride comes to you in many ways in foods too. this is why the level needed to be raised as to not alarm people. I have been in classrooms on the subject and studied at length thru the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) and I use a Bodyglove system thinking it does. I cant say for sure, let me know

Different sizes could be needed. I used a 1 3/8" because that will accept common Plumbing fixtures. The spigot being used is the limiting factor, I would not use smaller than 1/2" for a spigot using only one tube.

@matthewjogden Thank you, was the sound in sync? we have had youtube trouble on that? I really like the camera zoom on the valve under sink, just like it was as clear as on a table top.
