Review: Darn good water filter! - I'm pretty picky about the quality of the water that I put into my body, as I drink 2 - 3 liters of it daily. I want it to taste, smell and look perfect, as there is nothing quite like a refreshing good drink of clean, pure water. Many countertop pitcher filters just don't deliver on their promises. Many countertop units leave an after taste. Many don't seem to be actually removing contaminants. Not the Aquagear Water Filter Pitcher though - it really delivers! This filter is great. The company seems to have done their research when designing their actual filter and what goes into it. I've owned a number of "pitcher type water filters" over the years and there's always "something" I don't like. This time around I actually researched a number of pitcher filter units and the Aquagear filter kept coming up #1 in the reviews. It's not the cheapest, but it works well and the filters last a long time. The company says that it removes almost everything that you don't want in your water. You get what you pay for. It is a little large feeling at first and actually could be a problem for small hands or children, but we all got use to it quickly and once we got use to its size and shape, it is easy to use. No problem. As far as "kitchen design style" is concerned, It looks good sitting on our kitchen counter top too. The company seems to be of good integrity too. They donate clean water filters to remote African villages, with every unit sold here in North America and Europe. Does that add to our cost? Probably, a little - but what goes around... Their packaging is very "green" too. I like to spend my money with companies that 'do the right things'. So many companies these days don't even try! The filters last a long time and replacement filters are reasonably priced and easy to find. They even offer a 'scheduled' replacement service and you save an additional $10 using it. We get our water from our well, that already tests clean and safe, but one extra filtering can't hurt! I don't know how it would preform if our water had a lot of sediment in it, you'd have to ask the factory people who I found to be quick to respond and very personable. The bottom line is that water tastes great from this pitcher - like REAL water! Try it. If you don't like it you can always use desertcart's 'Costco copycat return policy within 30 days - no questions asked and they'll even pay your return freight! It's that simple!
Review: Does its main task well, but pitcher is rife with problems - I'm giving this five stars because it's the only product of its kind on the market, and it does its main task, filtering water, well. I'll take the company at their word that it removes things other filters don't, and removes a higher percentage of the things that other filters do. The water it produces is delicious and, according to my subjective datapoint of 1, tastes better than competing filters. Now for the criticism, with roughly the most important first. - As others have stated, the water filters veeeery slowly. For the first dozen pitchers or so it was pretty slow, but acceptable. Since then, it takes something like 2 hours for all the water to filter through. I did do the initial flushing before putting in the filter. I haven't yet tried doing the re-flushing that the company suggests to make the filter work faster. Even if it works, I'm not sure if I'm going to be happy doing this once a week for the rest of my life. - Related to above: the company's guideline for when to change the filter is when water flows through it too slowly. So I foresee in my future many phases of trial and error and wondering if I need to flush more or if the filter is really truly done. - Related to above: it's weird to me that flushing can solve this problem. Shouldn't running more water through the filter just build up more filtered material? Or, if it's because the pressure from the tap forces things through, isn't that bad? Doesn't that mean that contaminants are being forced through when they shouldn't be? I wrote to support asking this and they said "The flushing process helps push residual carbon from the manufacturing process out of the filter if there is any." That doesn't really fully answer the questions, but I'll take the company at their word that all is well. I hope that they expand their documentation on this matter in the future. - If you tilt the pitcher too far while pouring, the water completely fills up the spout, which doesn't allow air to come back into the pitcher, making the water come out in spurts or even almost completely stop. When the pitcher is full, you can get around this by not tiling it so far. There's also been a scenario where I couldn't find any angle at all that worked. I think it was when there was water in the upper filtering area and also in the lower area, I'm not sure. I'll probably eventually drill a small hole in the back of the pitcher to get around this problem. If I do I'll report back and post a photo. - If you pour the pitcher while there is water in the bottom part and water in the top part, water can leak out from the top part. Other pitchers have this problem as well, and I've been dealing with it for 2 decades. I'm pretty sure it's not a huge engineering challenge to work around this, I don't know why no one has done it yet. - The little auto-closing circular flap which closes the fill hole looks nice and is cleverly designed... but has problems. The first is that a ring of pink mold(?) has grown around the edge of it in only two weeks. The second is that it's difficult to see how far the water has been filled up. It's possible, but you need pretty good lighting and you have to be ready for it to sneak up on you. - The little auto-closing flap on the spout can get stuck in either the closed or open position. - To remove the filtering assembly, you have to stick your finger in the spout area, which means you have to wash your hands first, which adds time and effort to the process of pouring water. First-world problem for sure, but for something I have to do 2 or 3 times a day, I really wish it had a better design. What I have done to get around most of these problems is to use this pitcher to fill up other pitches of water. I happened to have two of these around: Takeya Airtight Pitcher, 2-Quart, Black and they suit my purpose well. I let the Aquagear take its time filtering and use the pre-filtered water from those pitchers, and then fill them up when the Aquagear is ready. Of course, whenever I do this, I have to completely remove the filtering assembly. Good job Aquagear on your V1 and for getting this needed product to market! Now get to work on the V2...
