This is a nice filtration/RO system. Put it all together easily and it runs well. Not sure what materials the filters contain or what the plastic container is made of, but so far, I am allergic to the water. I am sensitive to certain plasitcs and the pitcher had a smell when it arrived. I washed everything with warm soapy water and even left warm water in it for an hour or so, then rinsed with cool and dried. Ran several pitchers through the filter as instructed. Noticed that the water had a plastic taste and that the pitcher also smelled of plasitc. Ran water through there and immediately poured it into a glass container. Too bad that my mouth and throat still burned when drinking. I am leaving it on the counter to off gas and will try it again later. Had an RO system before that I had no issue with but there was no plastic involved. Might work great for someone that is not bothered by chemicals!
The water tastes great. It filters through fast, no waiting. The ice I make is crystal clear with no hard water floaters. And no more buying heavy cases of bottled water to pack into the house. No more plastic bottles to recycle or throw away.
I would have given it a 5 Star but it stopped working 7 months after we bought it. We called the company, they suggest we needed a solution to clean out the minerals. Our friends have had their for 2 years and no issues, maybe we use it more than their family.
