Love the system

Anyone who knows me knows how picky I am about my Water. I love everything about this system. Water taste great, easy to use, doesn't take up much space, inexpensive machine and filters, seems small but I wouldn't want it any larger, I filters Water fast enough that I am never without.
We use it constantly. after using it awhile I became very sensitive to the smell of water directly out of the tap and noticed that smell was gone after filtering in the Aqua Tru. Now I use the filtered water for brushing my teeth too. The only thing that comes to mind about improving it would be that it doesn't hold enough water and I do spend a lot of time refilling and rinsing it out. Also at first I added water to the tank without throwing out the leftover water. So it appears we need to remember that adding fresh water to the tank needs to happen after throwing out the old water left in the tank.
It was too pricey for me. I wish the water tank was bigger to hold more water. I need to refill too often. I think I understand the wasted water also. . . I love having cleaner water.
The set up was simple; lots of pictures and clear words. The flavor changed for the better in brewed coffee & brewed loose-leaf tea, most noticeably, and vegetables cooked in water. Ice cubes are clear, not milky. With only 2 in the house, it works. A family would need to train several members to use the water filter and have a storage pitcher or another reservoir for high use times of the day. A simple way to cut your exposure to many toxins we encounter daily.
After having a few reverse osmosis filters installed under the sink, and every time we moved we had a problem uninstalling and installing at the new place, this water filter was a life safer. It's great. It's free of PBA & other replacement chemicals, like bisphenol-S (or BPS)- which may be just as bad. I only wish it refilled itself.
I was concerned about the regular cleaning process, but it's not that big a deal. Just do it faithfully. When minerals begin to build up on the sides of the tap water tank, I fill it a little above the backwash water line (where most of the minerals are) and let it sit overnight. In the morning I pour the used vinegar into some jugs and keep reusing it for subsequent cleaning (so long as it still gets rid of the minerals). For the usual weekly cleaning I use hot soapy water.
