For a long time I have been made fun of because I could taste the differences in bottled water but this water filtration system brings it all..and then some. The crisp, clean bite of the cold filtered water that has cascaded across carbon is one of the most perfect beverages to wake me up. Ever since purchasing this I have cut back on energy drinks because the cold, clean, water with a touch of lemon gives me the boost I need. This system will remain under my sink but I secretly wish it was an on top of the counter system to show it off.
