AquaTru Carafe Alkaline Mineral Boost | Countertop Water Purifier for PFAS & Other Contaminants Exclusive 4-Stage Ultra Reverse Osmosis Technology (No Plumbing/Installation Required) BPA Free

Update - 4/15/ 2025I replaced my PRE filter on 4-14-25 and my VOC filter on 4-15-25.That is just a little over 6 month life span for those 2 filters. My water is considered moderately hard. It in my opinion a 6 month life span for 6 carafes filtered daily is a good performance. I just purchased the descaling Kit and have yet to use it.My Carafe is still preforming well, with no issues_____________________________Update since I have received itPurchased during October Prime Day 2024Still, nothing to complain about. The unit is a nice size for my counter. It still makes great-tasting water.To the manufacturer - Can you make the unit in Blue? How about a stainless steel carafe top instead of a plastic top?(My Opinion) The cost of filters on Amazon is overpriced. Why so expensive? Go to the manufacturer's website, they are less expensive, pick yourself up a few 3-set filter replacementsBackground.Tap water drinker dislikes the taste and cost of bottled water but also hate the taste of tap water.Pain in the butt to reclaim deposits on bottle empties. Try not to be subjected to Microplastic particles where I can help it. Uses an ample amount of Lemon and Lime juice to kill the chlorine smell and lousy taste of my tap water.Took advantage of the prime deal for this water purifier and am extremely happy with the results and difference made to what I am now drinking. The taste and smell of my tap water is night and day.I'm so excited, and happy that I have been processing large batches of purified water and handing out samples to others to try.ProsEasy to set up.Small form factor- the size of a mid-size coffee maker.Cartridges snap right inTime to purify after the initial 4 x flushing is pretty quickGreat tasting water without the plastic water bottles and required need to recycleWill eliminate my need for lemon or lime juiceMy water no longer smells like my pool was just treated !ConsI can find nothing to complain aboutThings to Know.There is a small amount of waste water produced for each batch purified that must be discarded but let us put this in perspective.You no longer have to purchase water in plastic bottles (that is good for the environment and your pocket )No need for costly water subscriptions or lugging home cases of water or bottlesI got all three replacement filters for 54.00 dollars with additional tax and shippingIf you feel bad dumping the wastewater back into the sink you can find useful things to use it for like plant water.

I love this water filter system. If you are looking for an RO water filter, this one is for you! It's small enough to hide on the countertop, yet big enough to make water for a family of four. Water is quietly made in less than 10 minutes and tastes great. Others mentioned the pitcher is made of thin glass, but I find it to be light weight and attractive. System is easy to use and a great value for my money. It's a big step up from my last plastic filter which did little to nothing.

The water where I live is crystal clear, and tastes horrible.I have an undersink unit that is driving me nuts. It makes a whole lot of perfect water, but it never stops running. I went online and read a lot of stuff and watched some videos. My takeaway is that you need a masters in engineering plus a thousand years of plumbing experience to fix this. Plus a good back and knees. I don't have any of that stuff, and the constant sound of water running is driving me insane. I've spent all the money I'm going to spend on it!Enter this thang. I personally think it's too expensive. But it works great, and it's very well designed. The filters are super easy to install, the waste tank and the pitcher only go in one way and that way is obvious - you won't have to try to figure out if you've done it right. If they were to slash the price and do a bit of promo, this could be something everybody wants.I haven't even looked at the instructions yet (but I will). It is so easy to put together; then you run four rounds of tap water through and you're ready to drink. The water is delicious.It has a tap water container on the back that you fill up at the sink. The unit starts immediately when you place that container down. The water recirculates quickly through the various filters and sends clean water to the pitcher in front. One round results in 30 oz clean drinking water, and you're left with wastewater that you are to pour down the drain (or use for watering decorative (non-edible) plants or cleaning (not dishes or things you will eat off of) or you could mop with it).Unlike the undersink unit, the filters are quite easy to install.
