SimPure Y9A UV Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter, Alkaline

We bought the SimPure Y9A as a no-installation alternative to an under-sink RO system, and after several weeks of daily use, it’s earned its spot on the counter. Setup & Design: Genuinely plug-and-play. No drilling, no plumbing, no calling a handyman. Fill the back tank, plug it in, flush the filters per the manual, and you’re dispensing within 20 minutes. The footprint is reasonable for a 4-stage RO + UV system — smaller than I expected. The TDS readout on the front is a nice touch; ours dropped from ~180 ppm tap to single digits within the first few pours. Water Quality: This is where it earns the price. The 4-stage filtration (sediment → carbon → RO membrane → post-carbon) plus UV sterilization produces water that tastes noticeably cleaner than Brita-style pitchers. No chlorine taste, no metallic edge. The pH+ feature adds back minerals so the water doesn’t taste flat the way pure RO water often does. Dispensing: Multiple temperature presets are useful — instant hot for tea, room temp for drinking, and adjustable volume. The hot water is genuinely fast (under 5 seconds), which replaced our kettle. What to Know Before Buying: • Like all RO systems, it produces wastewater. The drain tank fills up and needs to be emptied — not a dealbreaker but worth knowing. • Filter replacements add to long-term cost; budget for that. • It’s not silent when filtering, but it’s quieter than a dishwasher. Verdict: Excellent fit if you rent, can’t install under-sink plumbing, or want clean water without committing to a permanent system. The combination of RO + UV + remineralization at this price point is hard to beat. Would buy again.

I purchased this SimPure water pitcher in November 2025 and overall I’m very happy with it. The water tastes much better and cleaner, and it has helped me reduce bottled water use at home. The pitcher is easy to use, easy to refill, and the design fits well in the refrigerator. What I like most is that the filtration is fast enough for daily use and the filters are reasonably priced compared to other brands. The plastic also feels decent quality and not too flimsy. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because I wish the filter lifespan indicator and pouring design were a little more refined, but overall it has been a very good purchase for the price. I would recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable everyday water filtration option.

I’ve been using the SimPure Y9A for almost two months now, and it has been a great purchase. The setup was very simple since it’s a countertop system, and it started working right out of the box. My wife used to drink only bottled water before I bought this, but now she prefers drinking water from the SimPure system. She really loves it, which says a lot. The water tastes very clean and fresh, and you can tell that it’s filtering really well. Another thing I like is how fast it filters water compared to many other RO systems. The taste is great thanks to the remineralization, and we haven’t had any issues so far. Overall, it’s a really good product, and we’re very happy with it. Highly recommended if you want clean, great-tasting water without relying on bottled water.

The water tastes great and I change the water about once per day. Twice per day if I am using the water for cooking, such as pasta. I did have to flush it about 10 times (they recommend at least 3-5 times) before I stopped getting floating stuff in the water. They mention in the manual this can happen due to the protective liquid (food grade glycerin) in the RO filter cartridge and that it disappears after flushing. However, I started getting floating stuff in the water again after a little while. Not sure why it keeps coming back if they said it disappears after flushing. It is not coming from my tap water. I wish they had the rejected water in its own isolated compartment or at least have the divider closer to the top. The rejected water constantly enters the feed/source water, so the system is constantly trying to filter water that it has already filtered. I used water test strips and a TDS meter. Tap water ranges from 430-450 ppm. Filtered water through this ranges from 40-50 ppm and bottled water was 20-22 ppm. The top part of the water tank is starting to bend on the left side. There are no latches or anything to secure the lids. They lay flat on top. I have dropped the lid into the water tank several times when I go to change out the water. It does take a while to dispense the water, especially if you are using a lot for cooking. I suggest getting a pitcher or water bottles to fill them beforehand. I wish the water dispenser itself was higher as I cannot fit containers greater than 8 inches tall underneath it. Some water bottles will not fit. I usually have to move the magnetic drip catcher as well. I do have to wipe down the water tank and the part of the system that holds it every time I change the water to help prevent leaks. Otherwise, water will leak around it when I place it back in. It is a bit concerning how close it can leak next to the power cord in the back if you are not careful. This is still a decent system and it fits in my apartment.

Do not buy!!! I would give 0 stars if I could. I had another Simpure that broke in less than a year, but decided to give Simpure another try with the Y9. It broke in less than 3 months and did not filter the water properly. Since I bought protection through Asurion, I thought they would replace and they didn’t. I had to go through Simpure manufacturer and they refused to replace the system and sent me water new filters to replace the less than 3 month old filters. The machine still did not properly work. I’ve been drinking out of water bottles for over a month now which is ridiculous for a machine I paid over $350 for with “protection”. And when I try to get ahold of someone through customer support, no one ever answers. Don’t waste your money!!!

I’ve been using the SimPure Y9A UV Countertop Reverse Osmosis system for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best purchases I’ve made for my home. The water tastes incredibly clean and crisp — way better than bottled water and the alkaline remineralization gives it a smooth, natural taste instead of that flat RO flavor. The setup couldn’t be easier since it’s countertop and doesn’t require installation. Just plug it in and start using it. The 300 GPD capacity is more than enough for daily use, and it fills quickly without any hassle. I also really appreciate the UV purification feature it adds an extra layer of confidence that the water is safe, especially for family use. The build quality feels solid and modern, and it looks great on the counter. Overall, if you want high-quality purified water without dealing with under-sink installation, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend.

We’ve had our SimPure Y9A for over a year and have been very happy with it. We use about 2–3 gallons a day, and the water consistently tastes clean and crisp—a big improvement over our Southern California tap water. We also feel comfortable using it for our infant. It replaced the hassle and expense of constantly refilling multiple 5-gallon water jugs each week, which alone has made it worth it. I’ve also been really impressed with SimPure’s customer service. I recently misplaced the socket wrench needed to clean the valves, and they returned my call almost immediately. The rep was knowledgeable, handled everything herself in a few minutes, and quickly shipped me a replacement. Great water, convenient system, and excellent support. Highly recommend.

Dear Customer Service Team, I am writing to report an issue with the [Device Name] I purchased six months ago. While I am very satisfied with the water quality, the unit has been leaking persistently for unknown reasons, causing constant mess on my desk. As this defect has become a significant inconvenience, I would like to request a replacement with a new unit. I hope your company can address this flaw and provide a solution. Best regards,

Excellent reverse osmosis machine the best money can buy.

We are very happy with the water filter. It looks good on the counter and the water tastes great. We had an issue with the unit leaking occasionally and got a replacement for the entire unit very quickly. The customer service is excellent!

Absolutely love this! Water tastes just like it came from an under sink reverse osmosis system. We live in an apartment and like our reverse osmosis like we had in a house. And it isn’t overly big.

I have been using this for 1.5 months. The filters are supposed to last 6-9 months. We are a family of 3 and the TDS when we installed it was 20 ppm. After one month it went to 35 ppm and now it is at 71 ppm at 1.5 months. You can see a picture. We live in Toronto so the starting TDS is 151 ppm. I am going to have to purchase a new filter system which together cost $200. If that is how my no have to spend every year = $1400 a year on Top of the $550 price tag. It is not worth it.
