Are you allergic to plastics?

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.
It’s a good portable water purifier. However, if you plan to use it like me, at home, it can be a chore dumping used water, filling water, and cleaning the containers. Especially if you live a busy life. And if you use the purified water on other things like humidifier, nasal wash, etc, prepare to dump and fill the water many times. I just wish I don’t have to clean the tanks so often, but sometimes it can get foggy and stuffs. Makes you think if the cleanliness of the water is compromised.
In Arizona, the water from the tap is so hard with minerals and leaves water spots on everything and stinks of chlorine. We got this system knowing from a doctor friend that it made his water really taste great and removed all the impurities. We got our AquaTru and really have loved every glass of water since. I'm SOO thankful to not have to drink disgusting sink water or have to purchase 5 gallon reverse osmosis jugs from the local store again. Game on with AquaTru!
At first i thought It was working great, and now im noticing mold growing inside and around the hole areas where the water passes through. It’s very difficult to try to get into to clean, almost impossible! I’ve stopped using it for the sake of my health and cannot find a way to get in there to get rid of the mold. And this is after thoroughly cleaning the machine every single day stated on the directions.
