I enjoy the taste of the water much better than any other filter I have used. I trust its filtration system too. Although it takes time to filter, I know it's doing some hard work. The amount of gallons it filters with the toxicity level in my area in relation to the amount of water to little for my family. However, I enjoy the taste of my water when it is filtered. Keeping this on the side even when adding a RO filter under the sink as I'd still filter it for the taste it brings to my water. Great for a single person and decent for a family of 3. Enjoy.
