[@kreasu]

Thank you so much! I really love my system from them and its a relief to see that it works well

[@boswater6065]

Glad it helped!

[@mosthighsapple7168]

Hey thank you for your time and information. I have a question dealing with the additional UV, in your professional opinion do you think that will be that much better ? For $100 more

[@boswater6065]

If you have harmful pathogens in your water, then I wouldn't rely on the UV to take care of them. On the other hand, some systems use UV to prevent filtered water that has been sitting for a few days from becoming stagnant. We've never tested if this really works, but the Bluevua doesn't have any sort of internal tank and thus no water that could even become stagnant. So personally, I wouldn't bother with the additional UV.

[@ErikTheCooky]

Great review! Do you have any thoughts or plans to make reviews on ceramic filter systems?

[@boswater6065]

The ProOne pitcher uses a ceramic filter element and that was part of our big pitcher comparison video. We're also testing the ProOne gravity filter, the British Berkefeld (Doulton), and other similar systems right now!

[@ErikTheCooky]

@@boswater6065 Awesome! I actually have a ProOne gravility filter (ceramic)! i love it but it's a bit much for a one person household. It's recommeneded that if it's not in use for 24hrs it has to filter out 1 liter of water, doesn't explain why. Which is annoying because the tank gives 2-3 days worth of water supply for me.

[@boswater6065]

I'd say probably to keep the filter element wet so that filtration performance stays consistent.

[@ErikTheCooky]

One more question. Have you tested the AquaTru Carafe? or does it use the same filters as the standand one so there's no need?

[@boswater6065]

We did test it. Check the big countertop RO system comparison video/Google Sheet!

[@D22237]

Can you test their re-mineralization filter and see if it works? They essentially have an attachment to top of carafe and it adds back in essential minerals and I want to see if it’s actually working/doing something

[@boswater6065]

Added to our list!

[@ambroseorr9312]

Could you test out the Melissani RO system? It looks like to have a ton of great bells and whistles and is reasonably priced, but I'm very interested to know how the lab results compare/if it adds anything bad to the water post-filter. TIA!

[@boswater6065]

Added to our list!

[@AllAboutHugs]

Was this tested with or without the remineralization filter in the pitcher? I'm concerned about the mesh leaking metal into the final water.

[@boswater6065]

Without the remineralization filter.

[@BigTimeFaith]

Hi, out of all the reverse osmosis systems you reviewed, which one reduces floride the most and overall the best in your opinion?

[@boswater6065]

Bluevua and AquaTru Classic. But we prefer the AquaTru Classic because it's NSF-certified for 93.5% average fluoride reduction. You can check our countertop RO comparison video for more info.

[@WAVMOB]

I hope the Classic considers going Glass for that version. Great review. Thank you 😊

[@boswater6065]

Yes, that might be an upgrade that many people would appreciate.

[@WAVMOB]

@@boswater6065 I wonder if your influence can make that happen sooner? Glass carafe please.

[@boswater6065]

I doubt it. We are not that big of a deal. But if we ever get the chance to mention this, we'll make sure that we do!

[@chriscahill7463]

would love to see a head to head comparing and contrasting this system and the aquatru Carafe. Is there one you would recommend out of the two all things considered? It looks like this one actually was given a higher filter score over the Aquatru Carafe despite the lack of certifications

[@boswater6065]

Yes, the Bluevua performed slightly better. But keep in mind that we can only test for a limited number of contaminants. That's why we usually prefer water filters like the AquaTru Carafe because they have so many NSF certifications.

[@donemy92]

Do you recommend this version or the upgraded version with UV and remineralization filter?

[@boswater6065]

We haven't lab-tested the version with UV and remineralization. But assuming that there's no problem with any chemicals leaching, we like both versions. Remineralization is always a good thing to have when it comes to RO, but some people prefer to do it manually, so it depends on your preferences really!

[@annaraj1672]

Have you reviewed the Multipure Aquapetform yet??

[@boswater6065]

No, but I've added it to our list!

[@lucidity7983]

I’d love to see your review & testing on an Osmio Zero please. I’m in UK.

[@boswater6065]

Noted!

[@Ooulu]

Can you review Philips Aquaporin water filter system. It’s something coming from Denmark aquaporin a/s collaboration with Philips

[@boswater6065]

Could you provide a link, please? The system only seems to be available in Australia.

[@georgecheliotis418]

Did your lab tests show anything for microplastic reduction?

[@boswater6065]

We didn't test for microplastic reduction. It's extremely expensive.

[@yellowwidget3902]

It looks like at 2:04 minute mark that the water contains bacteria after RO that was not there in the tap water sample. If so, it is above EPA standards it says on that data sheet. Am I reading this correctly, if so, why did it get bacteria?

[@JJ_NY]

As an owner of a Bluevua unit, I'm curious to know as well.

[@boswater6065]

That's Total Bacteria Count and nothing to worry about. Basically, these are bacteria that exist pretty much everywhere in our environment like every surface you touch. They didn't show up in the unfiltered tap water, because the chlorine kills them. However, as soon as you take the chlorine out, they can survive in the water. But again, Total Bacteria Count is not a health indicator. It's only that a high count may lead to stale or stagnant taste or odor. Another example where you will find a high Total Bacteria Count is in reusable water bottles, and it's why you should clean them every once in a while, just like you should clean your water filter.

[@yellowwidget3902]

​@@boswater6065 Thank you for the response and I understand about bacteria. A concern is I don't see bacteria counts in your other product testing. Also noting that perhaps this is a good reason to get a system with UV to kill the bacteria. Have you tested how efficient UV in RO systems is for killing bacteria that might grow in the filters?

[@boswater6065]

Actually, almost all the other countertop ROs had the same bacteria count - maybe check again? About the UV: The APEC ROCT-PLUS, Waterdrop A1, and SimPure Y7P-BW use UV and there was no difference in bacteria count. That said, we didn't perform our testing in a sterile environment. In other words, even if the UV did do something, there might have been secondary contamination for example when I touched the sample containers. Long story short, I can't say with 100% certainty if the UV provides any benefit or not. Personally, I wouldn't focus on it.

[@yellowwidget3902]

@@boswater6065 Thanks for the information.

[@carlosgarcia1165]

it would have been amazing if you review the remineralizing filter of bluevua, that is the only reason we are getting bluevua. We don't like the filter being plastic but those filters have a ton of reviews in Amazon, sadly there is not scientific review about them

[@boswater6065]

Added to our list!

[@carlosgarcia1165]

@@boswater6065 please another detail to take into account. Can the remineralizing filter of bluevua be put in the refrigerator? can it be cooled? I am buying 3 glass carafe with 3 remineralizing filters because it is very inconvenient to detach the filter and put it to the next carafe, so the remineralizing filter has to kind of stick to the Carafe, but I am worried if when the filter is cooled with the water in the refri, then something happens to the components inside, or it reduces its life span. There is a ton of stuff to deal around the remineralization filters in general, and starting with the Bluevua ones would be amazing. This is why a lot of people is buying Bluevua and I just want to be sure everything is safe

[@boswater6065]

I don't think that putting it in your fridge should be a problem. But you can always confirm with Bluevua if you want to be 100% certain.

[@Iamandthatiam]

carat is glass but the tank is plastic and that is where the water is sitting too, right?

[@boswater6065]

Yes, but that's just the unfiltered water.

[@acousticECHO]

As a small apartment dweller, I would love to see how the Bluevua RO100ROPOT LITE compares to this bigger model. Any plans for review this one?

[@boswater6065]

I can't make any promises, but I've added it to our list!
