I bought this carafe water system to test out what the big deal was…knowing cleaner water is part of our basic foundations to better cellular health. It tasted so clean and crisp I was surprised at the difference from using my “clean” refrigerator filter. It has no chemical taste in it at all. My kids and husband immediately loved the cleaner taste too and now we need a bigger system because we go through approximately 2 gallons every day. Definitely worth the money for improving your health!
