I have always been a fairly avid water drinker until I bought the Aqualiv system. Now I Love, Love, Love my water. I don't have any trouble at all drinking ½ my weight in ounces of water a day. Most days I far exceed that. My friends come to visit just to drink my water. I could not be more pleased and comforted to know the water I am drinking is CLEAN and not stripped of all the minerals as is the case with several systems. I also bought the filter for the shower and I can sure tell a difference in my hair when I go out of town. GREAT FILTER SYSTEM in my opinion, Thanks a ton Aqualiv!
