Assembled & checked for leaks outside the cabinet for ease and convenience using long hoses..
I'm a contractor with a bad back, or even if you don't have a bad back mounting this permanently under the sink can be a real pain when changing filters or checking for leaks. Moving the filter out to the kitchen floor leaves all the tubing connected that's not necessary to disconnect except the tubing on the filter bodies. The worse part is reaching under the sink and lifting the filter unit out and the rest is easy. I just sit on a stool in the kitchen while changing filters and checking for leaks.. Much easier than bending and crawling under the darn sink. Us old guys need to leave the acrobatics to the younger contortionists.. LOL As shown in the pictures and video the long tubing lets me set the filter unit on a stainless cookie pan permanently under the sink just in case of a leak later on. If the garbage disposal just happens to be above the same area it's a double bonus for catching leak water just in case. Garbage disposals are known to leak after a few years and that cookie pan has saved our wood floor more than once. When it's time to change the filters I just reach in and place the ISpring filter out from under the sink on another cookie tray and that makes for easy filter changes with no water spilled on the kitchen floor which makes momma happy. Using the longer tubing really makes it nice as it just follows the unit out to where you can get to it. OK, it's heavier filled with the water, but when moving it in and out the inconvenience of a bit more weight is worth the advantage in my opinion. Another bonus is that you can turn the water back on and fill the unit while it's out from under the sink on the kitchen floor. If you have a leak it's real easy to spot and fix before you put it back under the sink. Also, you can place the ISpring leak alarm in the cookie tray in case of a drip or leak which can save a lot of water damage down the road. Unlike prior RO systems I've used the ISpring sets nice and flat on the filter canisters and one small wood screw will hold it nice and flat against the cupboard wall. It's good that iSpring supplies you with enough tubing to do the job. Other RO systems I have bought do not give you enough tubing for convenient out of the cupboard access.
