I got this filter in about a month ago and I'm very happy with my purchase. I was tired of the crappy Brita filters that will break every 3 weeks or had to be replaced every month. So glad to be done wasting my money on that! I was thinking about purchasing a Kangen filter, but the price is just ridiculous and almost insulting, and luckily I found out about this filter. I love that it keeps the minerals, and doesn't remove everything including the good stuff in water like Reverse Osmosis filters. Sooo, soo happy with my purchase. The water tastes great, it's soft and you just feel how gentle and wonderful it is as soon as you take your first sip. I highly recommend it to everyone. Thanks for making such a wonderful product!
