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.
I want to say that we are so very, very pleased with this product. Easy to see for fill up. Compact and wonderful to know that the water we now drink is clean. Have told others about this.
To get a reverse osmosis unit that is so small for counter-top use that doesn't waste a ton of water is awesome. It's quiet and easy to use. The only thing I don't like is that the lid on the back container (the unfiltered container) doesn't come off. It makes it awkward to maneuver into the and out of the sink not sure why it was designed the way it was with the handle inside the lid. Washing out that container is very awkward and it's hard not to bang the lid into the faucet and sink, which worries me that it will break soon. The water tastes like water that has nothing in it. So you do need to add electrolytes/minerals back in.
While I realize the health benefits, it doesn’t taste as good as either bottled water or refrigerator type filters. It does taste better cold but there is still a slight oily texture to it. I also don’t like that 3 inches of water is left in the unfiltered reservoir. I use it to water plants but it just seems like such a waste. As the unit is electric it should be able to process all but a minimal amount of water from the reservoir. Overall I’m happy with the purchase for the price...just passing on some areas that could use some improvement.
I’m so pleased with my AquaTru water filter. Highly recommend it! Every time I serve myself I know I’m drinking clean, healthy water! I wasn’t sure about spending that much for a water filter. After researching your product as well as others and having my doctor recommend AquaTru, I decided to invest in my health and make the purchase. Wise investment on my part!
