I am thoroughly disgusted by this filter. If the Coronavirus didn't exist, I would send it back immediately. The water tastes exactly the same right out of the tap, which makes me wonder if this thing filters at all. The taste is not crisp. You can literally feel the difference, that there is definitely "something" in the water, like all those chemicals, that was supposedly filtered out, for instance. Had I the money, and I will most certainly be saving for it now, I should have waited a couple more paychecks and purchased a reverse osmosis filtration system, which is far, FAR superior to this piece of crap! If this is a review that will be read by other "potential buyers", DO NOT BUY FROM THIS VENDOR! THIS MERCHANDISE IS GARBAGE! A REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTRATION SYSTEM IS WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT. DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS CRAP!!!
