Worth the Money!: Water Filtration and Softener

This was one of our best purchases of the year! Before AQUA TRU, we would buy 6 packs of 1 liter Essentia water (about $10 per pack) x3 every two weeks or so, so we were spending $15 a week on water. My SO is very picky about their water so I did a lot of research on the bottling process and reverse osmosis; I've also been thinking under the sink and on the counter but since we live in a small 1B/1B apartment our options were limited. I decided on AQUA TRU about 3.5 weeks ago and it was worth the money. The instructions were very easy and there is a YouTube video to help with the installation (very easy). As a result, we drink more water! I estimate that we drink the equivalent of about 6 packs of 1 liter Essentia water per day (or more!), which works out to about $10 per day. It will take us around 50 days to pay back AQUA TRU and Essentia Water will last around a week for annual maintenance with the purchase of new filters. We also use filtered water to make coffee/tea/ice cream and we use wastewater to water our plants. That's not even counting the benefits of reducing plastic waste, physically carrying water bottles, shopping when water is scarce, etc. As mentioned, my SO was very picky about water, "tastes like nothing". and AQUA TRU does an excellent job on this task. My only concern is the durability of the product and only time will tell if it can last longer than it was worth. Also remember that in the event of a long absence (ie without filtering the water) it is recommended to fill the filters with reverse osmosis water by filling the tap water tank with filtered water. I have done this both during long absences and when moving to a new apartment and there were no problems with AQUA TRU resuming. In addition, the filtration ratio of AQUA TRU (1 gallon tap water 0.75 gallon RO filtered water) is one of the best on the market; Some of the undercounter reverse osmosis filtration systems have a 1:5 faucet-to-filter ratio, and some of the comparable countertop systems also have a 1:5 ratio. Other countertop models also have a preset water volume, but the AQUA TRU system does has a clean water reservoir so it supports a ton of water when needed. I can't say enough good things about AQUA TRU. Thanks to its creators!
