I've owned this device for four months. I trusted Dr. Hyman on this recommendation, but unfortunately, it felt like was pushing this without really testing its daily usage. The design for the water reservoir is horrible; hard water deposits get stuck in the container and cleaning by hand is a chore and a task. While I understand that this is a normal task needed given how hard water can build up, the design of the reservoir does not allow large hands to be able to truly clean it up. Definitely save your money and buy a eSpring Carbon Water Treatment System; the quality is better and there is no cleaning that you need to do. The device also emits large amounts of blue light which is known to cause sleep problems, and regarding electric consumption; the device will stay on nonstop if you fill the water reservoir while the clean water container is still full.
My wife and I each drink about a gallon of water a day, we also have a dog and filter about 3.5 gallons every day. This takes up quite a bit of time and we work around it but would love to have the convenience of have an aqua tru water filter to connect to our water line at home!

I found this system very easy to set up and use. It sits on the counter top and you can dispense water easily. It is just a relief to know that I can have clean drinking water at my fingertips.
