The improved taste to the water tells me the filter is removing something(s). I am generally happy with it and appreciate the automatic filter replacements arriving in the mail every six months. But the filter replacement package always includes a new battery which is not needed for the unit to operate but is only there to remind me to replace the filters. Receiving a new battery in the mail every six months with the replacement filters makes no sense for me the consumer, is wasteful and is a long-term health issue to our children, grand-children, etc. Please find a way to not send new batteries to the many customers like me who receive replacement filters every six months.
The only advaantage of this water filter compared to a reverse osmosis system is saving water. Otherwise it can not compare as far as taste, filteration etc.
Pros: Does Not Waste Water, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
Cons: Slow pour, Some Impurities Visible, Visible Residues
We received our first "Water for Life" replacement filters right on time. We continue to enjoy our 3-stage water filter system. Actually we love it! Filter replacement could not be easier; no tools, no leaks, no problems. We're glad we made the decision to replace our previous GE Dual Filter with the Aquasana!
Pros: Clean taste, Durable, Easy to clean, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
