We are using NYC water. The AQ-5300 has doubled the life of the filters from about 2 months to 4 months. If they lasted 6 months I would change the rating to 5 stars. Keep trying.
Gotten so hooked on drinking very filtered water that I had to get the powered filter pitcher because even bottled filtered water doesn't compare. You can really get spoiled on filtered water. And, I drink more now, so staying hydrated more.
Pros: Clean taste, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
We use this filter system for both drinking and cooking. Filter lasts 6 months as advertised. Water comes out of faucet at a good rate and water tastes great! One of the best investments we've ever made!
Pros: Clean taste, Durable, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
Our municipal water has a definite chlorine taste, especially on certain days of the week. It rather resembles pool water. The aquasana three stage filter completely gets rid of the taste and smell of chlorine, and makes the water taste fresh and clean. It was easy to install, and with the automatic refill option, I don't have to remember when it's time to replace. I highly recommend this product.
