I am satisfied but concerned as there is information out that our area had covered a Uranium bed. How do we find the truth and what to do if their is a fadon problem? A number of children in the area have Cancer and it's a small town not far from Pittsburgh.
I love love the way the water taste. I did a comparison tests with my friends and aquatru won hands down. The only thing I am disappointed with is how many times I have to refill the water tank. I drink water all day and refill it about 4 or 5 times a day.
Love the quality of the water however it only makes a very limited amount so if you are a heavy user you have to refill 4-6 times Day. The worst thing is the back chamber only uses half the water you put in and you have to discard any water that remains in the chamber. So it wastes a tone of water every time you use it - money down the sink. The unit should purify all water in the back chamber but ours literally only does half. I was tossing up between this and a Berkeley and wish I had chosen the Berkeley as I assume it wouldn’t waste as much water. Again though the quality and taste of the small amount that comes out is very good.
Good for couple. In larger family would be changing water all the time. Keeps us busy with just water for drinking and coffee for two of us. For larger family would need a whole house system. We also use a Zero water pitcher for a fifth filter stage. We put the AquaTru water into the Zero Water pitcher. Our tap water registers 145 on Zero water tester. AquaTru drops it to 5 or 6. Zero pitcher takes it to zero so now the Zero Water filter lasts a much longer time. We have drastically dropped our use of bottled water. Zero water filters take the test reading to zero routinely but the filters are expensive and you change them when the reading reaches 5 or 6 which is equal to Aqua true’s results. Haven’t changed Aqua Tru’s filters yet but they are much more expensive than Zero Water. If I had to choose only one system I would keep the Zero Water, but together they make a great, if complicated, system.
My wife and I each drink about a gallon of water a day, we also have a dog and filter about 3.5 gallons every day. This takes up quite a bit of time and we work around it but would love to have the convenience of have an aqua tru water filter to connect to our water line at home!
I found this system very easy to set up and use. It sits on the counter top and you can dispense water easily. It is just a relief to know that I can have clean drinking water at my fingertips.
