*Our systems should not be used with microbiologically unsafe water, or water that has not been approved for drinking by local, state or federal authorities.
We bought this system to remove chloramine and fluoride from our water. It was easy to install. We were concerned at first that the tube attached to the faucet would get in our way, but that has not been the case at all. The water tastes clean, and because of it we drink much more water now than we used to! Great product and worth the cost.

It sits unobtrusively on the counter and provides the filtered water I need in this city of old lead pipes. Thanks.

I ordered this after first buying the shower filter, and I am extremely pleased with both. I rarely write reviews, but am happy to take the time to endorse these products. The shower filter was a huge relief to my dry skin problems which took me months to correlate with the increased amount of chlorine in the local water, so much that I could smell it. When after just one shower with the filter in place there was a clear improvement in my skin and hair, I wanted the countertop filter as well for my drinking water. It was easy enough to install, only had to adjust 2 of the filters once to fix leaks initially, but now it has been operating perfectly for several weeks, and the water tastes fresh and clean. Super happy with both purchases! If they sold a faucet filter for bathroom sinks I would also purchase that in a heartbeat (I'm renting, and can't install a whole house filter).

Owned this product for close to a year now. It was originally hard to invest in such an expensive filter but its for a good reason. Cheap things are cheap! Couldn't be happier with this investment. Amazing customer service too!

Water tastes great. At this point it is hard for me to enjoy water or even tea from water from the tap. Even in countries where the government claims their tap water is safe to drink.
The whole system is quite big, so if you have limited space around your sink, it might be cumbersome to put it in place. It would be handy if there was a more convenient tap/faucet with an easy to operate valve that would efficiently stop water from dripping from the faucet (in case its not placed directly over the sink).
There is also the question of whether the water should be alkaline (as in case of this system) or more acidic. After reading tons of information online I have to say that I have no idea. Both sides of this discussion have their points, but none of them conclusive in my opinion.
MERCHANT RESPONSE:
Thank you for your review Pawel. I'd like to address some good points you brought up, the drip from the spout and the alkaline/acid water matter. Regarding the dripping: Countertop filters function in a way that requires them to de-pressurize when the water is turned off, as such, some water may drip out of the spout right after you turn the system off, this is by design and is normal. The amount of water that drips out is negligible, however, you're correct that it should be placed near the sink so that it can drip into it.
When it comes to alkaline vs. acidic water, we look to nature and the Science of Chemistry for the answer. Almost all water in nature (ponds, rivers, aquifers, lakes), with some exceptions, is alkaline (above 7.0pH). This is because it has natural and necessary alkaline elements like calcium and magnesium in it, which raise the water's natural hydrogen concentration (important for hydration). See this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3395574/
Further, acidic water is often devoid of necessary minerals (e.g. rain which hasn't yet finished it's precipitation cycle, reverse osmosis and distilled/deionized water which is corrosive, etc.) and can leach minerals from the body, resulting in poor hydration. So we follow water as it is normally found in nature, it must have a gentle alkaline pH and a good mineral balance. This kind of water is what humans and animals evolved with for thousands of years and provides us the best example of proper natural water chemistry.

The system was easier to install than we thought it would be. We are loving the water and even guests who drink it can tell the difference. I feel so much better knowing that we've eliminated one more area in which we were unknowingly consuming toxins. Cheers to a healthier life with Pure Effects!
