Good and not so good

The good: it’s great to have a product that uses excellent technology to purify water of all the toxins. The NOT so great: the containers are plastic. This is not good as it’s equally important to rid our lives/bodies/world of plastics. Also, I find that if I have something smelly in my Refrigerator the water in the AquTru pitcher also in my refrigerator gets smelly. The pitcher has the cover on it. So how is the water picking up the smell?
The on off button is in the back instead of front or side where you would remember to turn it off and it doesn't light up. The top of reservoir is hard to open. The only reason I purchased it is because Erin Brockovich endorsed it.
I love this product and the water tastes great. I wish it was easier to fill and could hold more because I use a lot of water. Its also a bit dificult to figure out the display and when i should be replacing filters that could be improved as well. Overall by far the best water filter I have used though.
I pre-purchased my AquaTru machine when they first were sold and it really is a game changer. When I think of how many hundred plastic water bottles I have not used and thrown away since I started using it, that alone makes it worthwhile. Plus I am not consuming all the microplastics and chemicals that leach into bittled water! I didn't realize how much money I was spending a year on bottled water, but the machine basically paid for itself in the first year. And the yearly cost of filters is a bout 1/3 of what I spent on bottled water, so the savings continue. Since the water is almost distilled (I got a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter to measure and it goes from 260 ppm from the tap down to 20-30 ppm after filtering) I do add concentrated minerals to make it as close to pure mountain spring water as possible. It tastes great and I'm motivated to drink more. I'm a health professional and I have told so many of my clients about the system who have bought one, I should sell them!
