[Sorry, I am having computer problems.] Re the filter. I guess it depends on the quality of your water. We are on a private well, and the water is very good. Our habit is to change the filters every 9 or 10 months. The plumber's rule of thumb at our house is to change things when the water starts to run slow - that could take a year. I'm too neurotic to wait that long! Lastly, there seems to be little water wasted in the process (maybe a small container's worth, about a quart). Best wishes, Lauren

Yes the stainless is like brushed nickel minus the gold tint in brushed nickel, If you have brushed nickel faucets then the silver will go nicely. The chrome is nice as well, the quality is the same on both. And Yes chrome is shiny and brushed is well brushed! :) http://qualitytubandtile.com/?p=1739Purchased all finishes and probably my favorite is stainless.Enjoy,Jeff WoodingQuality Tub and Tile

Still love the system. We changed the plastic adaptor with copper adaptors. I wouldn't recommend changing the tubing, it fits into the end and seals just so, but the other fittings you can make copper. Lowes helped us find the right fittings. We can taste the difference. Our water isn't really cleaned well here, it taste so much better and don't have to worry about our stomachs not racing well to the water anymore.

Buy a Pur-Flow instead. I'm not sure if that's the correct name but it's on Alex Jones's website. It has a metal spigot. Berkey has a plastic one that last a few weeks.

It's not really brushed like the faucet I have, but it's not as shiny as chrome. Should look okay with either chrome or brushed faucet.

Mine is chrome too . . . and we bought the entire Vero line in chrome: faucet, rain shower, towel bars etc. Loving all of them! Our hand held is an accessory to the rain shower. So, it's getting used to rinse my very thick hair. Nice pressure. I like the slide bar feature for height adjustment too.

It's plastic, but not with Chrome paint. It's more like a Chrome plate over plastic. I'd rather have metal, but I think it's a lost cause in this day and age hoping for that.I do have a 12 yo shower where my American Standard thermostatic Chrome plastic handles look as good as new. I do wipe them with my towel after every shower to keep the water drops from drying and leaving mineral deposits. I am going to get the Hansgrohe and deal with it. What other suggests can you offer? Try California Faucets if you really care.

The plastic spigots that came with the 2 barrels I bought were junk. One broke fairly quickly. I replaced both with brass spigots that were threaded. Because it was about 3 years ago, I don't remember if the plastic ones were threaded, sorry.

I also have a rust problem and found the best method is to install a prefilter upstream of this one. Use one of the white string wound type filters. It helps this filter last longer. Otherwise, you get about a month or so of use.

I have a mix of polished nickel and polished chrome. It blends well. I placed the rack on the wall over the toilet and it is too far away from the sink and bath faucets to see a difference. I love it and it gives the look and function I was seeking.

Thank you for your inquiry. This vanity comes with Brushed Nickel Hardware. The Faucet model # PS-104 and Drain Assembly only comes in Chrome. Vitru USA does not make that faucet in Brushed Nickel finish. However, we have similar faucets on sale right now in Brushed Nickel finish, which would work very well with this vanity and sinks. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions. Kind Regards, FAUCET TOWN USA 800-683-7960 Mon to Fri 8am-5pm EST

The spigot is plastic. I wouldn't use it on the next 1 that I purchase. I'll just connect a short hose and shut off valve to the drain spout at the lowest practical place. That allows me to take advantage of water pressure. The spigot is useless for me. Otherwise it's a great product.

The standard faucet that came with the system is Chrome finish. We do offer two other style of faucets on Amazon and they have brush nickel finish

It's been 4 months and my water filter still seems to be working great (2 person household.) Would be great if someone could post a link to a consumer reports type article about this subject. Of course the mnfctr is going to recommend faster changes than are necessary to get you to buy more. I just set up 3 month regular shipment from Amazon, to be safe.

yep, it took me about 1 month to drop the spigot and break it. It took about 8-10 days after ordering to get the new one(I did select snail mail). Check nutriteam.com for parts

I don&#699;t bother changing just the filter. Since the filters alone usually cost about $60 and a brand new complete unit is usually about $84, I just buy a new complete unit so I can have a clean diverter and hoses. I would suggest replacing it when you notice a change in taste but it should last you at least 6 months or longer depending how hard your water is
