Review on Pure & Refreshing Water at Your Fingertips: MR 1030 Countertop Water Filter Desert by Brad Blake

Our well water didn't taste bad before, but it's well water, so filtration is still a good idea. I like that the hose is also black on the black model because it fits well. The device connects to the faucet in minutes, the switch is easy to flip, and the flow rate of the filter is much faster than our Brita faucet filter. After filling with water, the filter becomes heavy so it does not move, and the spout is very flexible and can be rotated at different angles. Based on the Q&A, it looks like this filter housing will also contain a 1050 alkaline filter, so I might give that a try on my first filter change. I also noticed a better flavor in our coffee with this 1030 filter. We did an experiment with a bottle of alkaline water over a weekend and it made the coffee so much better. In the 1030 filter there is a calcite content that is supposed to raise the pH value a bit so that our coffee might taste better.
