The water tastes amazing!

I really like the unit but I feel a lot of water is wasted cause you have to dump a quart of the water in the first reservoir out and refill every time. I try to drink a lot of water in the day and I have to refill this twice a day just for one persons needs,
Love the taste and seems very pure. Don't like how often i have to refill and do the reverse osmosis. It would be great to have a system that makes a larger amount of purified water as we drink a lot of water and use it in cooking etc.
I was very excited to get this water filter, it was highly recommended with the multi filters. It is easy enough to use, but I thought it would hold more water then it does. The water that is splashed back in the base has to be emptied - before adding more and can't be used as drinking water. It was explained to me when I call that this is the water that is released back from the filter. I can use this to water my house plants, but not plants I will eat. I think there is a lot of water that I can't drink this way. I haven't had to replace the filters yet, so I can't comment on that. The machine is easy to use, I like the pouring spout, it is easy enough to clean- once a week, and doesn't take up much space on the kitchen counter.
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.
