As an elderly woman, I found it increasingly difficult to use the original AquaTru filter. Transporting and lifting the tap water tank became difficult. When I moved to a senior living facility a few months ago, there wasn't sufficient counter space in the "kitchenette" for my old AquaTru filter. For a while, the only solution was to have the aides bring me a quart of water at a time from the so-called filtered water unit in the kitchen. Then, to my surprise, the AquaTru Carafe was offered. I immediately pre-ordered it. Now that I have it, I can again be sure that I'm getting safe water to use for cooking and drinking. The new Carafe is much easier to use. Installing the filters was a breeze. And the fact that the machine indicates when the filters need to be replaced is very reassuring. No guesswork involved. The tap water tank is easier to put in place and wash. Having a glass carafe is a plus. While it is true that one run of the unit produces only about half the water that the original model does, the new one is so much easier to use. Everything is much lighter and the machine is simpler to operate. I'm very pleased with this purchase and very grateful that AquaTru came up with this new product that exactly meets my needs..
Love it. We live in a motorcoach and don't have a lot of counterspace so this is much easier to handle than the original. It was difficult to pull out, refill and replace. We passed the old one on to our son.
I’m so glad I purchased this. I can’t complain about it at all. I feel so great knowing I’m putting less toxins into my body. Long Island NY tap water is so dreadful and smells like a swimming pool. This filter makes me feel so much healthier.
