    I have had this franke triflow water filters since 98 so am suprised to read the other reviews. I never had a leak in 9 years and if you shop around you can replacement filters for under £15 (pozzani for e.g). The only problem I have with it everytime I have to change filters it is a horrendous job as I can't unscrew the filter. I always need help and take hours to loosen the suction. For this reason I am thinking of changing the filter for something easier that a lady can operate and maintain with ease. I have no other complaint infact all my friends who come over like the taste of the water but that may have something to do with where I live, softwater scottish countryside.

    The leaking as described by others is a horrendous flaw on the Franke Triflow Water Filters. Caused thousands of dollars of damage. Third-rate manufacturer.

    We "bought" the Franke system as part of a replacement kitchen project so on its own the Franke system didn't seem that expensive BUT the cost of replacement filters from Franke is horrendous and I totally agree regarding the problems with leaking after the 2nd or 3rd cartridge replacement. An "O" ring for the cartridge container is a must but as previously stated Franke don't see the issue at all!

    I had this franke triflow water filter unit fitted about two years ago. The first time I replaced the filter, things were fine, the second, I found it impossible to stop it leaking. I contacted the company asking for advice and they ignored my questions, suggesting only that I upgrade to their new stainless steel model. So I now have a useless filter system. It strikes me that it should come with an 'o' ring on the casing, but when I asked them about it, they didn't respond. I've talked to other ...

    bought this Franke triflow system as we live in an extremely hard water area in wiltshire. We were using a brita water filter for the water in the kettle which worked great. We bought his as we thought it would save money in the long run. When installed the water just tasted like normal tap water to me (although i am not a big water connisseur saying that) What we did notice though was that the kettle seemed to be getting scaled up for a pastime using this in it, so i phoned avilion to chec ...

    The Franke Triflow is easy to operate - filtered water a treat, every time. New filter easy to fit. Smart design although now considered old-fashioned as I bought it in 2001. I do not know why more people do not fit them, as those jug filter systems are expensive in the long run and you have to wait while the reservoir fills up - with the TriFlow you get continuous filtered water which tastes great, on its own or with tea, coffee or infusions.

    Good product, It looks good, but that cartridge is so tricky to seal. Too loose and it leaks. Too tight and it leaks. Also, the cartridges are probably twice the price of others on the market, but I am not going elsewhere in case the cartridge changing problem gets worse!

    I find that the filters stop any scum forming ( and we live in London a hard water area) on tea and coffee and plain water tastes great even in my single malts!

    I had a Triflow system installed about 18 months ago because the water supply goes through a salt softener. The filter tap is connected directly to the mains, however, before it reaches the softener.
    The 'filtered' water has an oily scum on the surface, most noticeable when making tea or coffee, which looks disgusting. This is after taking care that the kettle is clean, cups have been rinsed after washing, etc. Since water from the other cold tap seems OK , I also made sure that the plumbing ...

    I like this filter system, it's great to know that I am no longer making the planet worse with my obsession with clean and great tasting water. (I used to buy all my drinking water) now I simply buy 1 or 2 Franke replacement cartridges at a cost of approx £45- for the 2. I am saving loads of money! in fact I save £730- a year. (min. 2L bottle per day)
