The only downsize to this is that we run out of filtered water quickly because it's a small container. We figured out that putting it in a pitcher would help and it did a little. The good news is that the water feels so good that the inconvenience is not a big deal!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not used this unit enough to give a full count of how long the filters last. I purchased this unit as to free my self of hauling the large water bottles of water to and from the store. As a renter this unit will give me enough water and the process takes about 15 minutes to clean. So far the taste is great and very convenient. It is easily filled and run with mininunal effort. With in a few months I will be able to give a full review as the large bottled water supply will be done. Love not hauling the heavy bottles, and rise of cost of the water. Ease of operation of unit with great tasting water. Only I wish this unit would have had a glass container to store the water in. .
I drink a lot of water! I also use it for cooking. I wish I would have just went with the under the sink system instead of this one. I am constantly refilling the tank. I use this at our seasonal home. I was not aware that you can't let the filters sit for longer than 2 months when I bought this. How can I preserve them while I am gone? I bought this system because of the '2-year filters'. Let me know if I can take them home and keep them under water or what will help so they last a long time. 6+ months, I am not there. Thank you for making a quality filtration system - the water tastes great. I refrigerate the water for drinking. I would say this system is good for 2 people if they only use it for drinking water and not cooking. I dare say I cook often and drink a lot of water. LOL
