One of the best purchases I have ever made.

I pre-purchased my AquaTru machine when they first were sold and it really is a game changer. When I think of how many hundred plastic water bottles I have not used and thrown away since I started using it, that alone makes it worthwhile. Plus I am not consuming all the microplastics and chemicals that leach into bittled water! I didn't realize how much money I was spending a year on bottled water, but the machine basically paid for itself in the first year. And the yearly cost of filters is a bout 1/3 of what I spent on bottled water, so the savings continue. Since the water is almost distilled (I got a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter to measure and it goes from 260 ppm from the tap down to 20-30 ppm after filtering) I do add concentrated minerals to make it as close to pure mountain spring water as possible. It tastes great and I'm motivated to drink more. I'm a health professional and I have told so many of my clients about the system who have bought one, I should sell them!
I feel like it is a good unit and does a good job. I also feel like the first part to diminish in function will be the dispenser button. It feels like it sticks on occasion.
After much research we decided AquaTru was the way to go. Far superior to any Britta type filter and much easier to use. Far less expensive then a household reverse osmosis and it allows you to use the filtered water when you choose versus every time you run the water. No complaints from the husband or kids either which is remarkable! Be prepared to wash both tanks weekly but it is very simple to do. Go for it. You won’t be disappointed!
Individual filters can have persistent leaks which result in daily puddles on your counter. My neighborhood looses electricity briefly at least twice a year. Because of the interruption of power, my AquaTru does not track usage, and does not indicate when the filters need to be replaced. This really should be mentioned in the owner’s manual. Now I mark my calendar with the date of recommended replacement.
Water tastes better and makes me increase my daily water intake I fill up the tank twice a day. Find that even with mild soap and water the tank does not look clean because I have hard water in my area. I also use vinegar to clean it. Had problem with ants getting inside the water tank so had to waste the water. Over all I feel it has been a good investment
I found it very easy to set up and start using, the water tastes great and the only drawback i see is how much water i throw away! I know my reverse osmosis filter wasted water too, i just wish i didn't have to keep tossing it. I don't have a yard, and only one indoor plant, so nothing else to do with it!
