I have used a Katadyn filter for many years and it is maintenance free basically except for an occasional wipe down of the filters. It has served us well in a foreign country. One of my daughter's uses berkey filter and it is also basically maintenance free, except for infrequent changes of filters. In the US now we bought the Aqua Tru for our daughter and it has required way to much maintenance and changing of filters. It doesn't like hard water, but we prefer to use hard rather than soft because of the sodium but have to use soft water. I'm sure it does a very good job of removing all of the things we don't want in our water, but it is impractical for a large family!
Overall we love it!! We’ve had it for about three weeks and our water tastes and even looks so much cleaner! We have the perfect place for it in our kitchen luckily because there is room right behind our sink, our faucet is offset and there is an outlet right below. We can dispense the water right over the sink. I think it would be awkward to have it on the counter dispensing over the floor . The spigot doesn’t some out very far so it would have to be right at the edge of the counter if you wanted to dispense into anything taller than a glass or mug.
We love everything about this filter with one exception: we can't seem to find the ideal spot on the counter top for it....we don't have a huge kitchen! Outside of that.....it's great!
Assembly was simple. The water tastes really good. We have tried bottled water when not at home and it tastes terrible now. We carry AquaTru water with us now.
The products is easy to set up and use. Changing out the filters is easy. The build up of algae is expected but you are able to clean it. There are a couple of areas where it would be nice to be able to get to more easily when cleaning places like the rubber stoppers and in a very small area in the front water tank at the top.
I was found to be "high" in inflammation levels and for months I tried to get it down. Then I got Aqua Tru and as they say: "Lo and behold. . ." My inflammation levels DROPPED to "medium" ~ which is far better than "high" thanks. LOVE this product! I think I purchased it in April 2019 or thereabouts.
I really enjoy the fresh, clean water from the Aqua Tru unit. It's easy to use and produces very clean water. The filters have lasted 2 years now, and I was thrilled to get replacements at a special sale recently. It's terrific to have this unit without plumbing costs for undercounted reverse osmosis, and it can easily be taken with me if I move.
