Review: Updated review- changed from 3 stars to 5 - Update: previously had leaking problems at the spigot. Turns out you need to make sure you have the seals oriented in the right direction, the washer oriented in the right direction, screw if on really tightly, and screw it on in dry conditions. Now it doesn’t leak and I’m happy with the product. As other reviewers said, the filter is great. Tap water has 200 ppm, filter reduces it to below 6 ppm. Performs better than brita (in the UK), which reduces tap water to around 150 ppm. But the dispenser leaks at the spigot. Horrible design. Also, the area where the filter connects to the water reservoir is not water tight so unfiltered water can leak through. Not a big deal, just a few drops. The biggest problem is the leaky spigot.
Review: Brilliant. Money well spent. - The purest water ever. A little bit sweet, it's crisp. (I even started to wash my face with it.) The coffee tastes better. Huge difference. And finally I can stop buying plastic bottle water. What was a shock for me that the tester showed a higher number in the mineral water then in the tap water. So for me there is no going back. Here is an update after using it for more then 2 months: I still didn't have to change the filter. It is still zero. What I do : sometimes I let the filtered water go down, very low so it wouldn't touch the filter. I also move the lid a bit. I let the filter to dry out. Maybe that's why I still didn't have to change it. And I use a lots of water.

### ⭐ DO NOT BUY
*by N***O on 10 April 2024*

Do not buy, you will be spending £100 every two-three months on filters. What they don't tell you is the UK water is much harder than this is made for, meaning you will be able to use one filter every 9 days (company quote not mine). The water is brilliant for the first few days, and then stinks of fish after one-two weeks, which even though the reading is still 000 (they say change filter at 006 or higher) is way quicker than they lead you to believe, atrocious. The smell and taste will make you wretch. To make things worse, the company wont return the product despite months of speaking to them, albeit when we first complained of the fish smell, they didn't even ask for our order or details instead just sent out an extra filter. This filter turned up with water drops inside the packaging which makes me think they are just recycling their products to cut margins and appease customers for a few weeks. Really gutted to be writing this as for a few days it was great!
