This is the best water filtration unit I have ever had! When I began to water my plants with water filtered through this unit, they showed signs of being more vibrant and healthy. My serrano peppers, habanero peppers and tomatoes are the best I have seen. Most importantly, when I drink it I feel properly hydrated. The water doesn't taste acidic like most city water or water run through reverse osmosis systems (which is often more acidic than coffee!). It is soft on the palate, obviously because of the pH level being more alkaline. Thanks Igor! (Posted on 10/14/2016)

I ordered the overcounter model by mistake but we ordered the conversion kit and it worked out nicely. I recommend anyone to buy the undercounter model. The spigot looks much nicer on the undercounter model. It matched our existing hardware perfectly. Installation was as easy as using the system. We experienced the cloudy water but filled up a container to keep the water in the fridge and the cloudiness is slowly disappearing. The water tastes great! So happy we bought this system.
MERCHANT COMMENT:
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. Just a note to our other visitors on the site about cloudiness of the water. This is a normal effect of the natural calcium in the system adapting and subsides after the initial break in period of the filter (apx. 1 week). (Posted on 10/5/2016)

Ever since I've had my filtration system back in April of 2013, I've had fresh clean tasting water for my health and well being. I am grateful that Igor has this company to give people like me fresh filtered water. In gratitude, I have recommended friends and family to buy this ULTRA filtration system because of the contaminants in our water system. And, I will always continue to recommend to acquaintances that I meet to buy this ULTRA filtration system for their well being also. (Posted on 8/18/2016)

Glad I went with the ULTRA Countertop system as it now saves me from countless trips to the store for gallons of water and the quality of my tap water has been much improved. There was previously a strong chlorine odor at times and the water also had a funny off taste. Had a nice chat on the phone with Igor who is very well informed as to water quality related info. My water now tastes great -- thanks! (Posted on 8/13/2016)

This is the second unit from Pure Effect that I have owned. The first was an under the counter system which was great! When we sold our house, the new owners asked to keep it. Upon moving into our new rental house (in Maryland--wow, the chlorine in the tap is amazing!) we were unable to do an under counter system since the granite counter top didn't have a hole for the spigot to come through. And, the kitchen is pretty small with limited counter space, so an above counter system just wasn't going to work. However, there was a utility sink in the finished basement that could accommodate a system. We opted to have an above counter system because its so easy to install. Having it downstairs works just fine, although my 12 year old son would probably say otherwise--he's frequently asked to run downstairs to fill up our 2 gal glass water jugs which we have on the counter top to use throughout the day.
We thought of so many possibilities for water--get it delivered? A different system? But we had been so happy with our first Pure Effect system...the water is amazing, guests are always commenting on how great it is. At this point, I would be hard pressed to go with another system. Great water, affordable price, easy install... we're very happy. Thank you so much for such putting this out into the world! Everyone should have a Pure Effects system! (Posted on 8/12/2016)

It is extremely difficult to compare water quality without a side by side test. The water tastes good feels clean. Bang for the buck is acceptable. There are much cheaper systems that provide high quality water to what extent can only be measured with equipment I do not have. I used to sell water filters and this is the most expensive unit I have ever purchased, due to the representatives presentation. Without scientific testing I feel secure in my choice.
MERCHANT COMMENT:
Thank you very much for your honest review! You mentioned it's one of the most expensive units you've purchased, and I would like to highlight that these are NOT Made in China, all cartridges are Made in the USA, so we don't use any cheap components or media in this system and they're built to perform and last! Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can be of any assistance to you. (Posted on 7/25/2016)

So for so good. We have only had the unit for less than one month, but immediately we noticed the excellent taste and quality of the water. I have yet to have the water tested, but I'm expecting good results. (Posted on 6/15/2016)

Excellent product and excellent customer service which is so rare these days.
I live in Brazil where all the piped water and the bottled mineral water is fluoridated. There is no choice and none of the filters manufactured here remove fluoride.
Unfortunately, when my children were growing up I was unaware of the dangers of fluoride and now I am worried about the long term effects on their health. One daughter already suffers from hypothyroidism.
I determined that my grandchildren would not be exposed to this poison however much it costs and that is why I bought the filter.
But even if they stopped fluoridating the water I would still buy the filter because of my concerns about the water being contaminated with medication and pesticides.
