Clean and Delicious - Kitchen & Bathroom Plumbing

I don't know what's in our tap water, I suspect unusually high levels of chlorine, but whatever it is, my stomach upsets me immediately after I drank That's why we've been buying Costco bottled water to drink for a number of years. In summary, with the money we spent on bottled water, we could probably buy three of these devices. After going through the start-up procedure in the manual (be sure to read all the instructions, part of the key information is one sentence), this water supply system makes pure and great-tasting water. There is definitely a unique flavor that comes from the alkaline-mineral stage, but I don't want to drink pure, "dead" reverse osmosis water. I feel good when I drink this water. A few setup tips: 1. Make sure you plug the booster pump into a live outlet, not the outlet the heat exchanger is plugged into. The outlet that the load is plugged into is usually powered by the switch you flick to turn on the load. So unless you plan on unplugging the consumer and leaving the wall switch on, this outlet is not suitable for powering your reverse osmosis system. 2 . You may notice that the tubing to and from the UV light is mounted differently on the pre-assembled block than the image in the instructions. The UV light has to work in any configuration as all you have to do is flow water through the cylinder with the UV light to disinfect it, the direction of the water flow is irrelevant.3. YouTube installation video is helpful.4. If you have any problems, I recommend an email instead of a phone call. When I called, no one answered, probably because everyone else had calls, and I couldn't leave a message because the inbox was full or something. I received an email response in just over a day from a very helpful guy named Sean. My problem was solved, it was assumed that the booster pump was damaged in transit and I am very happy with this system. To solve my outlet access problem I bought a rectangular extension cord with 3 outlets on one end, plugged it into the outlet behind the unit and routed the cord over the cabinet baseboard and into the sink cabinet. Not a big deal, just a little annoying. Seems to be a well built system, I don't see what more expensive systems can offer other than what this system offers. I look forward to seeing his performance in the years to come. My husband and child also like unscented water.
