Great solution for my husband and myself. We are on well water and were buying tons of on gallon water bottles in plastic and we go through so much every week that this is a great temporary solution for us until we can get our kitchen built and put a system under our sink. The water taste great from this RO countertop carafe.
I would like to fill the tank sitting on the stand because it's heavy, but it won't start if I do. I have to fill it, then lift it. Also I leave it on the stand, take the pitcher off and replace it it begins to process the 1/3 water remaining, so I guess it has to be emptied right away. The water is delicious though.
Our tap water smells like chlorine and we drink a lot of water. I can only imagine how many unhealthy by-products of chlorination are in the water. This filtered water tastes so fresh and has no odor. We have only been using it for a bit less than 2 months, but so far we are thrilled. Only downside: The glass carafe that the water dispenses directly into does not have a cap, and I do not want to place an open water container into my refrigerator. Remedy: We transfer the filtered water into an existing lidded glass carafe for storage in our refrigerator.
It takes getting used to filling. We need to get small extra glass bottles to have in the fridge but other than that water tastes good, clean and don’t regret my purchase.
