Overall this is a much more economical solution than the competing brand. The kit is complete with everything except the actual T-connection which varies depending on your plumbing situation. It took me 5 tries to get things connected without a puddle in the morning on the counter and under my coffee machine. I had to recut the tubing several times times and ditch the shutoff to reduce the number of connections to stop leakages. I still have the T-connection shutoff under the sink but miss the convience of one close to the filter. Works excellent now with no leaks and I am happy with it.
