Does its job, but has a horrible design

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.
We are full time RVer’s and were concerned about the source of water in a lot places we visit. The AquaTru filter gives us more piece of mind and a consistent taste.
This machine is small and powerful. The water tastes amazing. The only part I dont like is when the mineral deposits make a ring around the waste water in the back tank if I leave it there too long. I have 2 pitchers and I switch them out. Sometimes when i wait too long to do so the mineral ring is very hard to remove from the back waste water tank. I use vinegar and get it off with no problem however. I guess that just goes to show you all the filth in our water!!
We love the ease of use, how quick it is, how wonderful the water tastes, the price was great with our introductory discount! We even stopped buying distilled water for our cpap machines and it works great with no mineral build up!

As far as I can tell (not testing my water or being an expert in toxins, etc) this system is really good for supplying healthy, filtered water. I don't like the taste as much as unfiltered or Brita-filtered water, and the mineral drops make it even stranger- maybe it just takes more time to get used to the difference. I wasn't expecting the amount of maintenance it takes, rinsing and filling the tank at least once a day for one person's use, plus weekly washing. It would be easier if the handle wasn't inside the tank, and the lid detached- I find it awkward to work with as it is. I don't think everyone could handle the full tanks of water, especially having to lift them up and onto the back of the unit- I'm able to go around my counter and get at it from behind. From what I've seen offered, this is still a more economical choice for a water filtration system.
