I owned and used this filter system for about a year. The taste of the water is amazing but that’s the only positive. My lid broke right away, so that was a hassle. Sometimes my filters would get full of air and would quit filtering so I’d have to take it apart and restart. Also, when the filter would go bad the water would get a bad smell to it. This isn’t what I expected for something that costs $1 per gallon of water to filter. I’d go elsewhere.
