   my only concern was for nitrates,you assembled a filter for me which reduced my nitrates from 14.4 mg/l to undetectable. when I first used it there was no sediment as expected.the assembly instructions were clear and usable.i didn't have any leaks after assembly overall I'm pleased with my purchase.

   It's a great little unit! Forgot to lubricate the O-rings when I changed the filters, and it developed a leak that was easily fixed!

   Thanks for taking a moment to review this system. Since you mentioned it's a great little unit, I wanted to highlight for others it's dimensions as some many misunderstand it's size:
   20.5" (Width) x 13" (Height) x 9" (Depth) (Posted on 3/21/2023)

   The product was so easy to setup. The instructions were clear and they even prepared me for the adaptor I was going to need for my faucet in advance so that when it arrived, I could set it up in minutes to have safe, great tasting water. (Posted on 7/11/2022)

   This filtration system was recommended by a naturopathic doctor based on its ability to remove most of the toxins that we all are taking in with tap and bottled water. I do not have any testing equipment, but know that others have tested this product and it received top marks. My experience with it is that it is easy to install/set-up, very well constructed and the water tastes a million times better than Southern California tap water. I have had a few questions along the way, and Igor has cheerfully and skillfully answered them all. I would recommend this to anyone looking t improve their health through better water.

   Love this filtration system! Have been a satisfied, repeat customer for almost 6 years. Water quality remains very good for well over 1 year (household of 1). I notice that, after installing new cartridges, the mineral residue (cloudiness) takes awhile to disappear, but I’ve been reassured that it’s perfectly safe for consumption and it does gradually go away. I’m sure with more frequent use, it wears off faster. I know that with proper care, this well-designed and sturdy system is sure to provide many more years of pure, refreshing drinking water! Thanks for GREAT customer service, Igor! (Posted on 8/29/2020)

   I purchased this thinking I could take it around with me but it’s definitely not portable. Once I got it installed (I converted it to undercounter) which required a bit of effort I am now a very happy customer. I have it connected to my instant hot water and cold water faucet so everything I drink is so clean and pure and I can taste and feel the quality of the water. Customer service is excellent. Really recommend this company. (Posted on 11/15/2019)

9. Good unit, but only purchase if you’re a homeowner & not renting.

   Have had this unit for 2 years and have enjoyed the results. However, when we moved apartments - we realized that this countertop unit was not conducive to the existing sink in our new apartment. Igor was helpful in trying to find a way to accommodate for conversion, but it required either drilling holes in the sink or dismantling the existing faucet. This work requires a bit more than a novice person can handle, cost too. To get this work done it would be like buying another unit, so we now own a very expensive paperweight until we actually buy a home where we can make such modifications. Because we live in a rental space, making such modifications would cost us our security deposit which just isn’t worth it. Unfortunate that there’s nothing more that can be done, but it was my mistake buying such an expensive unit for a rental home. I regret not having bought a Berkey, in this case. In short, these units are great — Just be careful investing in such an expensive unit for a rental space.
   
   MERCHANT COMMENT:
   Thank you for your review Sasha. I totally understand your concerns, which is why we provide in-depth support with various helpful options so you don't have to buy a whole new system:
   
   1. Converting it to an undercounter unit with an inexpensive conversion kit found on our "Parts" page. Yes, you do need a small hole drilled in the sink for this, but many sinks already have a hole for a sprayer hose or a soap dispenser for example, so no drilling would be necessary in that case.
   
   2. If you don't want to or can't drill a hole or convert to undercounter, in most cases, you connect this system to the existing faucet with an adapter. In your case, we contacted the manufacturer of your faucet by phone, spoke with their tech support, found out which tool you need to unscrew the aerator and determined which adapter you will need to connect your filter system without making any permanent alterations, but simply unscrewing the aerator from your faucet and adding the adapter. Perhaps you misunderstood something? In any case, please contact us if you decide to take this approach.
   
   3. Gravity systems like Berkey are great for emergencies where you have to fill water from external source (lake, river, etc.), but for every day convenience, many of our customers have said that gravity systems are not very convenient because they take a long time to filter and have to keep being refilled. Also, the water sits in a reservoir which is more susceptible to mold/bacteria fouling from stagnation, as well as absorbing odors from the air, since it's not hermetically sealed.
   
   Here is a useful comparison chart to get a general idea of how our system compares to other technologies: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/Comparison_Chart_ULTRA-DISINFECT_Full.pdf (Posted on 10/1/2019)
