5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME - Back to 5 Stars - REVIEW UPDATED Dec 3, 2023

The filters are a reasonable cost based on the time between replacements and they are very easy to replace. The filters are readily available through Bolo and AquaTru's web site. I'd recommend signing up for the AquaTru email list because they have some pretty good discounts and specials throughout the year.There's a bit of maintenance including periodically cleaning pitcher and tank, descaling (frequency depends on the hardness of your water) and replacing filters.We changed our review back to 5 stars (from 4 stars) because of how AquaTru Customer Service handled a broken power switch which rendered the AquaTru inoperable.We highly Recommend AquaTru!!!===================Complete Review:===================Day 1 - 10/9/2017--------------------We received our AquaTru Countertop Reverse Osmosis system today. We've been using a Zen Water System for several years, and liked the system, but wanted a system with reverse osmosis. We set it up and ran through the required 5 tanks to flush the filters before we started tasting/testing.It's Awesome! Quiet, fast (about 12+/- minutes for 3 quarts). Tastes great! The filtered water tank is a quite a bit smaller than our old Zen system which had a 5 gallon filtered water tank, but I think the speed of the AquaTru will make up for the smaller tank (The Zen was significantly slower). The Zen system was also more difficult to maintain, wash the components, tanks, etc. The smaller tanks on the AquaTru will be much easier to maintain.We have a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) tester which measures dissolved solids in PPM (Parts per million). Our unfiltered tap water is about 230 to 270 PPM dissolved solids. The filtered water from the AquaTru is about 33 PPM. I also tested the waste water which contains the removed containments and dissolved solids removed from your water. It tested at over 530 PPM.Will update this review sometime in the future based on our experience over time.Day 2 - 10/10/2017---------------------A couple more observations:Great Feature: The filtered water tank has a full sensor, so when the tank is full, filtering stops. As filtered water is dispensed from the tank, the unit will automatically begin filtering more water until the filtered water tank is full, or the tap water tank has been depleted. As long as there's enough water in the tap water tank, the unit will keep the filtered water tank full. When the Tap water tank needs to be emptied of waste water and refilled, there's a large indicator on the front display.Room for Improvement: The filtered water tank dispenses from the bottom front by pushing a button, which releases water. The button is a bit difficult to get good control over the rate of flow. If you're filling a container or glass it's a great, strong flow. If you're filling an ice cube tray or similar shallow container, it's a little more difficult to control the flow so it doesn't splash everywhere, but not impossible. Also, the water continues to flow for about a second after you release the button. Just something to know so you don't overflow...Still really impressed and the water tastes great!UPDATE Six Months - 4/14/2018-------------------------------------------We've been using the AquaTru for a little over six months now. Still works and tastes great! We ordered a spare set of filters but haven't had to replace any yet. On a typical day we'll run anywhere from 1 to 4 tanks through the filter. We also bought a second clean water tank and keep it in the refrigerator. There are occasional periods with more (house guests, etc) and periods with no tanks run thru (trips away from home, etc).We have found one (probably rare) problem that we are concerned will shorten the life of the pump, etc. We live in a 70+ year old house. The Aqua Tru is on a kitchen counter top. Occasionally the water in the tank may slosh slightly if there's a slight earthquake (we live in Southern California) or a truck goes by, etc. If the tank is full, this causes the filtered water sensor to think that the tank is no longer full. The pump turns on, and almost immediately as the water sloshes back and touches the sensor, the pump turns off, usually less than 1 second later. This causes the water to slosh even more, and at times becomes self perpetuating. The pump continues to turn on and off very rapidly. Occasionally we'll hear the unit doing this during the middle of the night, and have to get up to remove enough water so that the sensor no longer triggers.If the AquaTru waited a few seconds before engaging the pump or detected this rapid on/off of the tank full sensor, it would probably eliminate these false triggers.Because of this issue, i'm lowering my rating to 4 stars. It's an unusual situation that probably won't affect everyone, but one that could be avoided with a simple engineering or software change.NOTE: In the new AquaTru classic we ordered on 7/12/2023 this problem has been corrected! The new unit does not have this issue!UPDATE One Year Two Months - 11/11/2018----------------------------------------We still use the AquaTru daily with only one issue not mentioned above. We are concerned, that in all this time, the unit has never instructed us to change any of the filters! The various filters are expected to last six months, one year and two years. By my rough estimate, we've processed more than the estimated gallons through. In the box, there was a single sheet that directed us to press the reset button on the back of the unit for a period of time. We did do this. I'm assuming it was to reset the counters used for each filter. I'm ordering all new filters to install and resetting the unit. And will monitor more closely this time on the six month filter.UPDATE Three Years Eleven Months - 09/30/2021------------------------------------------The original unit we purchased in 2017 is still in use on a daily basis, often several tanks a day! I gave up on the filter reminders. I just replace them based on the calendar. Replace the pre-filter and carbon filter every six months, and the Reverse Osmosis every 12 months.Yesterday, I used the AquaTru descaling kit - I recently noticed it was available on the AquaTru site. Had a minor issue because I was following the directions too closely. It tells you to remove the filter cover, remove your regular filters, and insert the filters for descaling. The directions say to start running the descaling fluid through the AquaTru. They didn't say to put the filter cover back on. The unit won't run without the filter cover on! Spent an hour trying to figure that out.During the descaling process, the unit stopped filtering once or twice with each run-through, which was expected. Once the descaling was done, you run clear water through at least twice. That's when I started having an issue with the unit not starting. I let it sit overnight and it started running fine. After the flushes were done, I washed the tanks, put new filters in, added water, and once again it won't start. When I turn on the power, there's a faint click, then nothing. Re-seated everything, to the same result. Going to let it sit for a few hours, hopefully, that will get it running again. Update to follow...UPDATE Three Years Eleven Months - 10/01/2021------------------------------------------Issue resolved! We have two clean water dispensers so we can keep one in the fridge. When I was washing them, I got water into the handle, where the sensor is to see if dispenser is full. The other dispenser works fine. Just need to drain the water from the handle and let it dry out inside.UPDATE Four Years Nine Months - 7/13/2022---------------------------------------------It’s been four years, nine months, and four days since we started using our AquaTru! It’s still running strong, although it’s slightly showing its age.It’s a little less forgiving when we place the clean water and tap water tanks on the unit as it occasionally leaks water on the counter and floor. Not a ton, but enough to have to wipe up. One of the clean water tanks can leak a bit when it is not sitting on the base.After replacing filters or descaling the base, the pump doesn’t always re-engage immediately. The last time we changed a filter, it had to sit overnight before the pump would engage again, so we could run a few tanks of water through and start using it again.Since it is an integral part of our daily routine, using a couple of tanks of water daily, we have been concerned that the unit may finally go out (it’s still working today).We saw the same AquaTru unit for a great price in the Prime Days sale, so we ordered a new AquaTru unit yesterday. Probably the best endorsement I can give – we repurchased the same model!When we receive the new AquaTru unit, we’ll probably move our old one to an office area and continue to use it as long as it operates. I’ll add an update to this review once we have the new unit, and it’s been working for a bit.UPDATE Five Years Two Months - 12/30/2022-------------------------------------------Have been using the new AquaTru Classic unit we purchased on Bolo Prime Day for almost six months now.The issue mentioned above on 4/14/2018 where the motor turns on/off repeatedly when the tank is full and the water moves a little bit has been fixed in the new AquaTru Classic we received!!!The new unit stopped filter without turning off/on. Called customer service and they suggested it might need descaling. We live in Southern California and our city has fairly hard water. The customer service sent us a couple complimentary descaling packets (we already had the descaling kit used in place of the filters while descaling). They also suggested we replace the Stage 1 & 2 pre-filter as it can be affected by hard water). This did the trick and it's been working great!UPDATE Six Years One Month - 11/20/2023---------------------------------------------While doing a routine scaling on our newer AquaTru Classic, the power switch broke! Unfortunately it broke in the Off position so we couldn't turn the unit back on. The unit is a few months past the end of the warranty, and AquaTru doesn't offer repair service for out of warranty products.I opened a customer support ticket through the web site. I decided to try calling customer service as well. The Customer service rep said there was a possibility of purchasing a replacement base at a reduced cost. I told him I'd think about it and call back.Shortly after, I received an email from AquaTru asking for my shipping address so they could send me a new base for the AquaTru classic. Received it a few days later and it's working great!During the time our AquaTru wasn't working, we used our original AquaTru which had been in storage. It still worked just fine!

Exactly what I was looking for

Started out with a Melissani M1 but found the water had an awful taste/smell (had to return it). Not so with AquaTru -- very pleased. If pressed for a criticism, I wish the water output was higher. Right now the spout is hanging over the edge of my counter so I can fit a kettle underneath. I might find some sort of platform to elevate it later... otherwise so far so good.
Indispensable
Desperdicia mucha agua, algo gostoso pues la alimebtamos ee agua embotellada
