I have just finished fitting a pair of water filters under the sink. A few hiccups on the way but I am happy with the result.
Last time in Sydney I went to the Parklea Markets and just inside the door is a guy selling almost every kind of water filter you can imagine. I have picked his brain every time I went there and finally bit the bullet and bought a double filter setup with tap. I finally got round to installing it even though the instruction sheet kept referring to diagrams of which there was none. It used the push in fittings for coupling the pvc pipes to everything but on the first test run water went everywhere from the small tap. An email to the company (they have a website http://www.ontapwaterfilters.com.au/ ) and I was promised replacement parts in the mail. Two days later I had a replacement ball cock and half a dozen locking clips for the connections. After sales service was excellent.
All parts fitted and working well. The nut to hold the main tap to the sink top was too large for the space so had to be reduced in diameter but no big deal. The only problem now is that, as water flow must be restricted through the filter, when running the filter tap on the 12v pump the pump hunts and as it does the hand pump puts out water in time with the 12v pump. Then when you turn off the tap, the pump runs on for 4-5 seconds with water coming out of the hand pump. Not a major drama but I'd like to know why.
