Good water filter

I haven’t had much experience with water filters (other than a Brita growing up) but I am happy with my Aquatru. They say you need to replace one of the filters approximately every 6 months, but I am going on month 8, and the replacement light still hasn’t come on! Haha! So far so good.
It is small and quiet and fits nicely on the counter. The list of bugs and bacteria it covers is awesome. The water tastes great. The one complaint I have is that the holding tank is small; I find myself refilling it at least twice a day, because I drink a lot of water and cook with it too.
Omg I never thought water could taste this good!!! Going to order filters soon because I probably use this more than most I can't live without it, thank you for designing a great product. If Dr. Mark Hyman suggests anything, it's to the moon and back. If he jumped off a cliff, I would be sure to follow lol! Every house, office should own one of these!!!
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.
