Great machine, horrible taste

Machine works easily and well, simple to maintain. I've only used mine a handful of times though in the months I've owned it because it makes my sweet, delicious, deep well water taste like vinegar. So I only use the output demineralized water in my household steamers, steam irons, and at least I don't have to buy distilled water for them. I know it works well and the safety is very attractive (removal of toxins, drug residues, chemicals, etc.,) but I just can't drink the stuff. Merchant response to my review indicates the machine is not recommended for use with well water. I have not seen that in materials that encouraged me to purchase the unit. As a result I may well take advantage of the offered refund if a few more filtration cycles fail to yield tolerably tasty water for drinking, coffee, tea.
It seems to always have one residual drip- even if I wait. I guess I feel safer. I probably should have bought the trace minerals, let me know if they go on sale.
After researching reverse osmosis water systems of all kinds we chose the AquTru System. It is the most convenient and cost-effective way to have an in-home and portable system. The quality of the filtered water is 100% as advertised and the quality of the system's components are top-notch. We are completely satisfied with or AquTru and do recommend it to everyone.
While I realize the health benefits, it doesn’t taste as good as either bottled water or refrigerator type filters. It does taste better cold but there is still a slight oily texture to it. I also don’t like that 3 inches of water is left in the unfiltered reservoir. I use it to water plants but it just seems like such a waste. As the unit is electric it should be able to process all but a minimal amount of water from the reservoir. Overall I’m happy with the purchase for the price. . . just passing on some areas that could use some improvement.
The taste after filtration is excellent. My son noted the better quality immediately. Now he brings bottles to my house for refills. Balancing: I try to reuse the quart & half of "waste" water for house plants and rinsing as much as possible, as it bothers me to see it disappear down the drain. And yes I have recommended AquaTru
Great Way to Have Reverse Osmosis Water on the Go!

This is a hard-working machine that gives me RO water when I travel. In between trips, I keep it in my bathroom on a table so I can have RO water when I brush my teeth. I will say that it's a little bit challenging to figure out how to pack it because of the specifications airlines have for baggage, but I think I've figured out how best to pack it. I first packed it in my checked baggage, but I would advise against that, because it looked like TSA had roughed it up a bit. I'm going to try putting at least the motor portion in my carryon during an upcoming trip. You do have to be very careful to place the tap water tank exactly right or it will not work.
