Water Filter

Water Filter After going on a search for a product that would deal effectively with hexavalent chromium-6 and discovering that reverse osmosis was the best choice, I started looking for the recommended standards for a good system--which included 5 stages (for filtering effectiveness and to extend the life of the membrane), among other things. The other really critical component was an alkaline post-filter to reinsert a healthy dose of minerals so that the final water was not overly acidic and closer to natural spring water (very few systems offer that). I was also hoping for a countertop model that was totally portable, since I''m living in a rental and didn''t want to deal with installing a spigot on the sink. This unit provides all that and more (leak detector, filter replacement indicator, etc.). My only small disappointment was an error in the original product description, indicating the unit had carbon block pre-filters (slightly better quality than the granular activated carbon filters that it actually has). However, the Healthy Water Supply distributor bent over backwards to offer compensation for the error once discovered (now corrected in the description). I was extremely impressed with his integrity as a businessman (itself very unusual these days!)--and have kept the unit because I am extremely impressed with it overall. I highly recommend it, and HWS.
