So very happy with this product!! I live in a super small village with OLD water tower and our tap water here is terrible. The whole family going through water bottle after water bottle was creating the worst amount of plastic waste. Not to mention the PH level of the bottled water we were drinking was super acidic. My husband was recently diagnosed with cancer as well, so I felt compelled to make a change. This water purifier gives us nice Alkaline water that hasn't been stored in plastic bottles for ages and is nice and filtered, and clean, and tastes amazing unlike our tap water. I feel so good about the water I'm putting into my body and giving to my family. We feel over all healthier having it. Not to mention it relieves the stress of trying to get our hands on bottled water when stores are sold out due to panic hoarding.
