I have one of these with the +Mineral filter in it and I absolutely love it. Zero complaints really, I just wish the filters were cheaper. AquaTru makes a roller-base that locks as well, so its easy to slide this to the edge of the counter to fill up large bottles.

[@Freshnss]

Thanks for watching and the great feedback!

[@jessebaker2311]

@enigmarocker what is the TDS of your tap water vs. the filtered water you are getting out using the +Mineral filter? I live in an area with very high TDS tap water, so the filtered water I am getting out is already pretty high.. I'm wondering if the mineral boost filter would add too much hardness/TDS on top of that

[@stephenmoon5123]

How can you be sure the mineral booster filter is working?

[@Freshnss]

@stephenmoon5123 it will nominally raise the TDS, which is the simplest way to test. These aren't technically filters but a block of caclcium and/magnesium which dissolves back into the water.

[@rehab_paddler]

I’ve had mine for 2 years. The worst thing about it is cleaning the rear tank. Depending on where you live. You might have to wash the rear tank more 3-4 times a week. Otherwise the mineral deposits acummulate.

[@Freshnss]

Hey, thanks for watching! We have not had that issue with ours. We clean it maybe once a month, but that takes about 2 minutes. Other than that, you like it after 2 years?

[@rehab_paddler]

I love it and recommend it to friends.

[@Thelightofhappiness]

Impressive. I have been looking at countertop ROs and this helped me decide

[@Freshnss]

Hey There! Thank you for watching and glad it helped in your search 👌

[@petekamote]

Finally a product that is really designed to benefit the consumer.

[@4tun8nanette]

I have the unit you used in this test. I have found after a year that the button that releases the water gets a little misaligned and then the water won't get released. I've read others have issues with this and AquaTru should probably go back to the drawing board to solve this issue. Other than that this is a great counter top unit. Also, my unit is much more noisy when filtering water than the tested unit, always has been, right out of the box brand new.

[@Freshnss]

Hey, thank you for watching! I appreciate the feedback! I have had two of these units now and haven’t experienced that issue with the button. It’s the first I’m hearing of it. It still works and everything for you though?

[@4tun8nanette]

@@Freshnss Yes, it still works. I have several other appliances on my counter so it adds to the 'clutter' I wish my husband hadn't decided he didn't want to service our under the sink unit any more. But the AquaTru wastes less water so that's a bonus too.

[@Freshnss]

Ha, I know the feeling! 😅 There are other under sink units that are very efficient these days. If you want some options, just me know and I can send them over 👍

[@mrnt1257]

I’ve had a unit since they came out. I actually paid for it and had to wait months to be shipped. Never had this issue.

[@johnr5545]

Great job god bless I’m looking for one that is portable from Camp at the house

[@jamiec.378]

Wow, very creative! So interesting to see how effective the filter was!

[@Freshnss]

Hey Jamie! Yes, we didn't know if it would work because we added so many chemicals, but the AquaTru pulled through 🙌

[@Minnie11chula]

I love my Aquatru and especially for my cat - it’s important especially for male cats to have purified water to prevent urinary blockages. (Vet told me this years ago)

[@exotichotshot7221]

The AquaTru seems to be the best RO system out there @Freshnss. How do the other top rated filtration systems compare to it (using city water): 1)WaterDrop 2) Springwell 4-stage (undercounter unit) and even the 3) ZeroWater ?? I’m interested in what’s the best for filtering out PFAs and all the other bad stuff. Not interested as much in catching big particles or how much water they can put out.

[@Freshnss]

I would do the under sink option if possible. The Waterdrop is certified to NSF 58 standards which is the standard specific to reverse osmosis systems. It also has an integrated UV light. Check that one here: bit.ly/3S9ucYe And the AquaTru here: waterandwellness.com/freshnss

[@rickwhite599]

ZeroWater: After a few months the water well taste fishy.

[@exotichotshot7221]

@rickwhite599 What are you referring to? This is an AquaTru RO system, not a ZeroWater pitcher

[@fatimaalzahraa1313]

what about micro plastic? does it remove the MP?

[@tomtarlton6292]

I am surprised you didn't highlight the presence of aluminum in the "filtered" sample that was not present in your unfiltered sample. -- This was also found in the testing done by BOS Water (on youtube) where both AquaTru Classic and Carafe introduced AL into the filtered samples. This seems a little to coincidental to be a fluke... which is disappointing since aluminum is highly neurotoxic

[@FillyAnne]

I have also been concerned abaout this- but I found that Modern Castle, Water Filter Guru and some cat lady didnt find any aluminium added to thiers. So not sure what to make of it!

[@yellowwidget]

Same, would like to have better answers to why this is happening. In addition, it shows Potassium is there after too.

[@bryansmalls6448]

Has anyone got an answer about this from aquatru?

[@FillyAnne]

@bryansmalls6448 I have. They actually gave a really good response. It was quite lengthy. I can try post it all in here. "Hi, Frankly, anyone can have their water tested-from home tests they do themselves to hundreds (thousands?) places you can send your water for testing. But of what quality is the testing and to what widely accepted standards? The California EPA specifies a choice of four laboratories to qualify for certification: NSF, WQA, IAPMO, and UL. We chose IAPMO (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials) because it offers the best customer service and the shortest lead time. IAPMO is an independent testing laboratory whose mission is to protect the public and continually improve the safety, performance, and reliability of plumbing and mechanical systems. This is the accepted standard for comparison of water purifiers used by consumers, industry groups, as well as the EPA. Every water purifier that is certified to remove contaminants will have a Performance Data sheet. AquaTru has been tested and certified to remove 83 contaminants by IAPMO (International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials) throughout the recommended filter life to the NSF Standards 42, 53, 58, 401, and P473 for the reduction of the substances listed in the Performance Data sheet. Part of the certification to NSF standards by IAPMO is to ensure all parts are safe for water contact. For example, to be certified by IAPMO, the filters have to go through extraction testing, which is a way to test to see if the filters leak any toxins into the water. The extraction testing standard is created by NSF to ensure we meet FDA limits as well as the strict California Prop 65 standard. Anyone can post any test results online, but we rely on the industry standard, NSF testing, and certification protocols. There is no aluminum used in our filters. This sheds serious doubt on any claimed test results regarding aluminum being added to the water. And apart from the filters... There are no aluminum parts in AquaTru"

A follow up to my follow up question 😁: The AquaTru countertop unit seems to work so well, is there an under the counter version of the unit that works just as well?

[@Freshnss]

Hey! It did work amazing right!! I just sent the Waterdrop under sink RO. That is what I would do if you wanted an under sink RO. But the AquaTru is my favorite Countertop.

[@BeccaMoments]

Can I plug it into an electrical strip because where I need to put it there is no outlet close.

[@exotichotshot7221]

A follow up question to my first comment: Is it a trade off of how much water a filtration system puts out compared to how many contaminates it filters out? For example: The Waterdrop (800g/day) VS. The ZeroWater or even Aquatru (75g/day)

[@Freshnss]

Hey there! Good question. Not necessarily. It is more of a fiction of the type of pump in those models and the type of RO membrane. Are you looking for a countertop or under sink RO?

[@aluisious]

I really don't know why people stress out about missing minerals in water. You eat food.

[@OldLadyGamersince1990]

Everything we eat are contains pollutants including nanoplastics so what is the point to drink safe water if we also eat those contaminants that we remove from the water?

[@mrnt1257]

@@OldLadyGamersince1990so you think we shouldn’t bother to drink clean water?

[@mrnt1257]

Our food is also lacking in minerals. I always add liberals back to my water after filtration.

[@Daniel_Adam]

Yet these people are happy to drink fizzy drinks and alcohol 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@EntangledSingularity]

Lol that is a defeatist mindset. Drinking clean water is vita for health. Eating organic and local foods as much as possible is best. Of course we are not going to remove 100% of everything but that’s not the point. Drinking purified water is going to do your body a huge favor in reducing the amount of toxins it has to remove

[@higgsboson9212]

is it possible the filter adds unwanted chemicals into the water? how are you sure the filters/plastics/chemicals it uses is safe?

[@pavankumarchowdary2756]

Is it will give the 0 TDS water..?

[@Freshnss]

0 TDS is not an indication of water purity. For example, lead and VOCs could still be present with a zero TDS reading.

[@RogerRamjetLips]

if only it had a glass water storage tank instead of a toxic plastic one

[@eightofhearts]

Does it matter if my country of origin uses 220 - 240 v? Will it work if i buy it?

It should work and you can always get a converter if not. 🙌

[@AlbinOnishchenko-87]

Does this filter out well water?

[@Freshnss]

Not sure what you mean. Do you have untreated well water and thinking of using something like this for filtration? I would recommend a lab test of your well water first. Treatment should be based on what you're treating and well water is highly variable.

[@diskdrive123]

Its so quiet, lets play background music to make it impossible to hear.
