Who Needs It?
A quality carbon block undercounter filter is for those who want not only better tasting water but a high quality of purity in their water as well. Being an undercounter filter means that it is much bigger than a faucet mount filter and hence there is more carbon block material filtering the water, increasing the removal of pollutants. It's not the highest level of removal of pollutants. A water distiller or a reverse osmosis filter can give you purer water, but at a much slower rate. The undercounter model as opposed to the countertop model is great for those who have adequate undercounter room and want their filter to be out of sight. It also has its own separate faucet requiring installation that drills through the sink or countertop.
There are hundreds of undercounter filter systems which are high-quality, durable and relatively inexpensive. Pure Water Products LLC, model Triple Undersink Filter is just one of them. Compare this with the others I present to see which fits your needs best. In each case I explain why I put them at the top of this category of hundreds of models.

Disadvantages
The disadvantages of the Pure Water Products, model Triple Undersink Filter are the same as the disadvantages of any carbon filter. There are four elements that affect the quality of filtration: 1) The amount of time that the water is in contact with the carbon, 2) The density of the activated carbon, 3) The quantity of the carbon, and 4) The amount of water that has gone through the filter which becomes increasingly ineffective the longer it is used until it needs to be replaced. In short, there is a relative element to the filtration. It is relative to these four factors. As opposed to a purification system such as distillation which removes all impurities completely, except for VOCs which are usually remove by other filters.
The second disadvantage of carbon filters is that they cannot remove many micro organisms such as bacteria and viruses. They cannot remove toxic minerals, nitrates, fluoride or soluble salts without other kinds of filters.
