I now feel safe to drink tab water and stop buying bottled water. I wish the tank and carafe were larger so I don’t have to replace as frequently. I choose this one over the tank though, because the carafe was glass. Giving 4 stars for the size

I LOVE this convenient countertop water purifier! It is easy to set up, use, and maintain. From the moment you open the box, there's a large information sheet to assist in successful set up. But the best part about it is the water. When filling the water bin with tap water, the smell of chlorine from our tap is surprisingly overwhelming. I had never really paid attention to our tap's chlorine odors before this. But, when the purified water comes out of the AquaTru, it is odorless and tastes clean and pure. I don't know if this is coincidental, but I have also felt more energetic and have slept more soundly since beginning to drink only this purified water. Recently, there was a an article about the ridiculously high level of PFA's and microplastics in our local water supply. I'm grateful that the AquaTru virtually eliminates or at least significantly reduces our exposure to these toxicities. Compared to other countertop purifiers, I decided to buy this AquaTru model because it has 3 separate filters, rather than 1 filter to perform multiple filtration functions. In my estimation, and from other reviews I read, the lifespan and efficacy of each of the 3 AquaTru filters will outperform the smaller single filters in other water purifiers, resulting in cleaner water at a lower cost. So, although the AquaTru is not the lowest (initial) priced water purifier on the market, factoring in costs of replacement filters, I anticipate that AquaTru will cost less over time than other initially lower cost brands that use a multi-filter approach with only a single filter requiring much more frequent replacements. Overall, for the health benefits, ease of use, and comparatively lower investment costs than other brands, I highly recommend this exceptional AquaTru Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier, that very conveniently sits atop a countertop (without the need of an expensive plumber for installation).

Not working

Really like the concept of this filter and it mostly functions well! For some reason after a week of use the refill container on the back suddenly got exceptionally hard to put back on (like I have to get my husband to push on it to get it to go far enough down for the lid to fully close). it also leaks some out the bottom of that section so I think there are some seal issues. And it's really difficult to get it back off to refill. I wish there was a better way to design it because it's a real pain to deal with now. But other than that, it's a good filter.

Very satisfied. Easy setup and maintenance with quality results!
