Unit arrived made of 100 percent plastic which I was trying to get away from. After installing the filters, 5 times it leaked out the side of the water tank. It also would not stay running....would fill about half the container and then shut off several times. I thought it would be healthier with the glass container, but your basically running all your water through several plastic parts to land in the glass container. To me, its silly and still creates plastic particlces. I returned this unit and went to a gravity fed stainless steel countertop model called Membrane solutions. Several of my family did as well and we all LOVE it. I run bottled water through it to remove the plastic particles and the water tastes amazing.

Purchased for daughter starting college this fall. Recommended by her functional medicine doctor. Tried it out at home first and it works well. Great portable counter top design.
