Most quality filters (like the Aquatru in this video) use some sort of NSF 51 certified plastic, in this case Tritan plastic: info.nsf.org/Certified/Food/Listings.asp?Company=79030&Standard=051 NSF/ANSI 51 is the certification for materials safety as relates to food/ drinking equipment: blog.ansi.org/nsf-ansi-51-2021-food-equipment-materials/ That being said, there area number of glass water filter pitchers you could check out: waterfilterguru.com/best-glass-water-filter-pitcher/ Alternatively you could transfer the filtered water from whatever system into a glass vessel for storage after filtration.

In the video, you talk about the minerals that the machine takes out. I went to the website and they have a lot of different products to replace those minerals. So many products, that I don't know which one would just do the job. There is 0.9, 3.3, Active H2, etc. I just want to replenish the minerals that are essential to our bodies. They are making it too complicated.

Hey Cheryl, apologies for the super delayed response! Thanks for your feedback about the product selection at water and wellness being too difficult - I'll pass this information along to them! As an alternative suggestion, a quick and easy way to remineralize would be to use a bit of pink Himalayan salt which naturally contains trace minerals.

Hey Ryan! Thanks for your comment and question. Filter lifespans are as follows: Pre-filter (stages 1&2): 600 gallons or six months RO membrane (stage 3): 1200 gallons or two years VOC filter (stage 4): 600 gallons or one year So filter replacement will vary depending on a few factors, including: 1) your water chemistry, and 2) frequency of usage. If your water contains a higher amount of impurities, more frequent replacement will be necessary. The system indicates which filter requires replacement (there is a different indicator light for each) Let me know if there is anything else I can help you out with!

Thanks CJ and great question! The manufacturer recommend the product only be used with treated municipal water. That being said, it would work for this use case, but you should expected the membrane and other filters to foul more quickly and require more frequent replacement. You could consider another method of pre-treatment (such as chlorine bleach - bit.ly/39BkHjf) to destroy the microorganisms which may be present, then use this system to remove the residual chemicals.

Hey Lisi, sorry for the super delayed response. I wrote an entire post dedicated to remineralizing RO water, you can check it out here: waterfilterguru.com/how-to-remineralize-reverse-osmosis-water/ You are right, the simplest and most cost effective method is to use a little bit of salt. I'd recommend pink Himalayan salt as it naturally contains higher amounts of trace minerals. Alternatively there are all kinds of trace mineral drops you can buy online, including those I mentioned in the video from water and wellness. These are sourced from marine plasma, you can check them out here: shorturl.at/pzRW6

Hey Lady! Great questions: I can't imaging that the company is really sending used units. Where did you order it from? I have not had anyone mention this to me before - I take these kind of reviews with a grain of salt As for the leaking - yes this can happen if the water tanks are not properly or fully in place. I've even had this happen with my Aquatru, but figured out what the problem was (user error) and voilà, no more leaking! Would love to get your thoughts and feedback once you get your unit up and running!

When I look on different systems and tanks I always wonder how easy is to clean them. I see, there are a lot of stackable part, so once a week it would be not so easy to clean and maintain, by my opinion. How easy is to clean dispenser area, there is a tube, probably...Also, the mechanism is not really understandable. How the waste water stayed in the same area, how it is the exchanged, process is going. And as I said it's good to run test for every filter not at the beginning, but after a month and then after 3-4 moth. Nobody knows what collects and grow inside filters and nobody talks about it.

Keep in mind that this unit is not specifically designed for desalination, so if you use it for this application you can expect the other carbon filters to foul more quickly

how does this compare to a countertop water distiller? say if incoming water has 800ppm TDS, how fast do the filters last? in terms o money, how much per gallon for RO vs distiller? distiller costs electricity. RO costs would be the filters and electricity.
@waterfilterguru
11 ай бұрын
Unfortunately I don't have any hard data for you, but you'll also want to consider the fact that countertop distillers take about 8 hours to distill just one gallon of water. Whereas countertop RO systems like the AquaTru take just 20 minutes. It's worth factoring in convivence as well. Additionally you might want to think about remineralization, as both distillation and RO produce demineralized water.

Is this good for well water? Does it remove all bacteria?
@waterfilterguru
2 жыл бұрын
Reverse osmosis should not be used as primary treatment for untreated well or raw water. While capable of removing bacteria, using the RO membrane to do so will quickly foul it, causing it to reach capacity much sooner than expected. If you are dealing with a bacterial contamination issue, we'd recommend first shocking the well then installing a chemical feed system or UV system if the issue persists. A reverse osmosis unit could then be used to remove the residual disinfection chemicals and any other dissolved contaminants. Here are a few articles you might find helpful to learn more: waterfilterguru.com/how-to-test-well-water/ waterfilterguru.com/how-to-shock-a-well/ waterfilterguru.com/coliform-in-well-water/ waterfilterguru.com/well-water-treatment/

It depends on the incoming water quality. You may need to replace the filters sooner or later than others, not every situation is the same.
