We've had our system for 3 years and love it. We pitched our reverse osmosis system and got AquaLiv because we wanted more balanced water with more minerals left in it and the better Ph levels. Also it is true that this water will detox you and some level. When we moved to a different location our system was offf line for about three months until I was able to reinstall it. Once I put it in I could tell that I was detoxing again. Cheers Aqualiv for a great system.
