Convenient source of great tasting water

I was concerned about the regular cleaning process, but it's not that big a deal. Just do it faithfully. When minerals begin to build up on the sides of the tap water tank, I fill it a little above the backwash water line (where most of the minerals are) and let it sit overnight. In the morning I pour the used vinegar into some jugs and keep reusing it for subsequent cleaning (so long as it still gets rid of the minerals). For the usual weekly cleaning I use hot soapy water.
I want to say that we are so very, very pleased with this product. Easy to see for fill up. Compact and wonderful to know that the water we now drink is clean. Have told others about this.
To get a reverse osmosis unit that is so small for counter-top use that doesn't waste a ton of water is awesome. It's quiet and easy to use. The only thing I don't like is that the lid on the back container (the unfiltered container) doesn't come off. It makes it awkward to maneuver into the and out of the sink not sure why it was designed the way it was with the handle inside the lid. Washing out that container is very awkward and it's hard not to bang the lid into the faucet and sink, which worries me that it will break soon. The water tastes like water that has nothing in it. So you do need to add electrolytes/minerals back in.
Pros: Taste of the water is great! Purifying process is fast. Cons: Awkward design. Blue spout button drips even after you release it. Tip: Helps to keep the unit next to a faucet the has an extension so you can easily fill it with water.
Setting up the machine and operating it is very easy. It is such a relief to finally be able to trust that I am drinking clean water. And it tastes great as well!! This is the only water I drink now. I have done away with buying bottled water. I wish it was a little less expensive but it was worth it. I have had it for about 4 months now. I am planning on buying a second machine to have keep in my office at work as well. I highly recommend the machine! You won't regret it.
I haven’t had much experience with water filters (other than a Brita growing up) but I am happy with my Aquatru. They say you need to replace one of the filters approximately every 6 months, but I am going on month 8, and the replacement light still hasn’t come on! Haha! So far so good.
The set up was simple; lots of pictures and clear words. The flavor changed for the better in brewed coffee & brewed loose-leaf tea, most noticeably, and vegetables cooked in water. Ice cubes are clear, not milky. With only 2 in the house, it works. A family would need to train several members to use the water filter and have a storage pitcher or another reservoir for high use times of the day. A simple way to cut your exposure to many toxins we encounter daily.
We love our Aqua Tru! After doing a lot of research and seeing the video of the Aqua Tru filtering out cola, we were sold! This filters out water rather quickly and the way it was designed makes it easy to empty and refill. I also like how the filters are hidden yet easily accessible. The water tastes great and I love that they sell additional minerals for an affordable price. The reverse osmosis capabilities were a huge priority for us. I would 10000% recommend this to a friend!
