pH Recharge Glass Alkaline Countertop Water Filter Dispenser - 2.25 Gallons Jug - Removes Fluoride Chlorine & Impurities - Improves Water pH - Clean Healthy Drinking Water - 8.5 Litres

I'm writing this after having taken a couple of years or more to decide to buy this and after a couple of months of having used it. First the design is attractive and also interesting ... to actually have a water filter as a point of interest in my kitchen is an added feature. It was very easy to put together and although on my first attempt it leaked this was simply because i had not tightened it enough and then it was perfect. I also tried both of the taps that are supplied (they have different tap "actions" and am really delighted with the one i settled with. now about the water itself ... what was really interesting is that the water actually looks clearer and also there is a sense that the "texture" is smoother in the mouth ... but it's taken this amount of time to begin to truly appreciate that this water has a real flavour that the tongue can truly enjoy and the only reason i can think it took this long is simply for the tongue/taste buds to decontaminate from all the chemicals that i have consumed all of my life up until now. drinking water, which i always liked, is now a total pleasure because of the clean and cleaning flavour. totally superb ... and i wholly recommend you get one, rather than dither for as long as i have.

Was a little hesitant in buying this due to the mixed reviews but having had the product and used it for two weeks, it appears the issues of other customers have been rectified, this is a great item and a nice addition to the kitchen too. Water is tastes a lot cleaner and the chemically taste has been removed. Highly recommended.

I am so impressed with this that I have recommended this to several people, I’ve even ordered an extra filter. No more buying bottled water. The filtration on it is amazing and the water has never tasted so good and looks like glass. So easy to put together and the size is perfect. The quality of this is amazing and I’m so glad I purchased this

I really like the item, looks fancy and perfectly suite my dining room. However I didn’t know there was plastic filter holder in a glass jar? Really! That did put me off but I was still excited when it came. Assembled as instructed, filled up with the water and started drinking. Wont lie the water tasted better than the tap or plastic bottle. After 20 minutes I realized it’s leaking water but I can’t figure out how! My son re open everything and re installed then I filled up water again but it started leaking. I am so disappointed!! We have got full refund as we reported the issue but I wish it was not case because I really wanted this item for a long time.

I'll have a go at giving the most honest review. Pros: - it has a soft taste -it's quick to filter the water for fast replenishing - we all feel better for making this change as we have been wanting to get a good quality filter for a while... I suppose we would need more time to assess -It's stylish and compliments our kitchen decor (not necessary but adds to the feel good factor) - it came with 2 different taps to choose from which is ideal (but not happy it's plastic) Cons: - damaged lid straight out of the box - not sure how to contact customer service yet - we have all been constipated for a couple of weeks now (perhaps adjusting to new water..) - my 6yr old says it still tastes like the pool (chlorine) but I don't taste this - the tap is plastic .. ? We liked the metal taps as shown when we were deciding on purchasing. The insert is also plastic and the water filter too. We went with a glass jug because we are trying to limit plastic use so this was a con for us (perhaps there are only plastic made filters though...) I'll have to keep looking. Setup: It was pretty straight forward for me but it did leak initially: I didn't secure the filter down enough so the tap water leaked into the filtered water bit and secondly, I didn't tighten the tap enough so water leaked onto the counter. Once I corrected these 2 things it works as should. Water taste: I wasn't sure if it was a pro or a con.. it's different. Better than tap water, not as nice as some bottled water... I've been telling myself it's better for me (but not certain of this)... you'll have to decide for yourself; I may not be used to it yet.. praying it wasn't filtered the good minerals from the water that we need.

Love this, no leaks and the water tastes lovely.

Love this but it took me a while to stop it from leaking...I was turning the bolt inside the glass on the tap , but what you need to do it once the bolt it fixed onto the tap , turn the tap round and around while holding onto the bolt inside the glass...Once the tap is tightened , the leak stopped...

The water filter was very easy to set up, which I really appreciated. I love the design of the glass filter — it’s elegant and allows you to see the water clearly, unlike stainless steel models. I also find it reassuring to be able to see the inside, as it helps ensure the water remains clean and free from any algae buildup. We’ve always relied on bottled water, usually going through around eight crates a month from Costco, so I’m hoping this filter will help us cut down on costs and waste. So far, we’ve only done a taste test, and while I’m not completely sure how I feel about it yet, that’s mostly because the water wasn’t as cold as the bottled water we normally store in the fridge. I’ve bottled some filtered water to chill, so we’ll see how it compares — fingers crossed! Overall, it’s a stylish addition to our kitchen and looks great on the counter.

J’adore

The item arrived with missing pieces needed to assemble the item. The plastic seal was also broken and the glass was chipped. It's easy to see this is a really poorly put together product that is using branding to sell above product quality.

I had been living in Orange County California for about 4 years. When I first arrived I quickly learned that no one drinks the tap water. I enjoy several brands of bottled water, I was buying it daily at gas stations and weekly at the grocery store. When I finally realized that I was spending nearly $200 a month on bottled water I freaked out! It was near Christmas and my mother asked me what I wanted for my gift I opted for something practical and asked for a water filter. I looked around at Amazon and chose this product for the simple but sleek design, the charcoal filters, the size and it was also on sale. It was easy to assemble and fit into the perfect spot on my kitchen counter. This product works great! It turned tap water with gross taste I can’t even describe in smooth and crisp water that is beyond lovely. I went on to buy copper and zinc pieces that are intended to be used for electrolysis in filtered water containers. I am so happy with my purchase and highly recommended this great water filtration system.

Filters water but it doesn’t make alkaline

I was apprehensive about ordering this unit based on reviews, but again most people only review when they are disappointed, I, myself have been meaning to review this item, but life is busy. If I was upset I probably would have made it a priority to review, so take those reviews with a grain if salt. This unit is amazing! My kids are drinking way more water. It was easy to assemble. I soaked the filter while I assembled the unit and washed everything with hot soapy water, reviews stated a plastic taste, so I was overly proactive. I ran 6 full cycles through the unit before taking drink, it filters quickly with the base line filter it comes with, I can't speak to the add in filter. The water is crisp, clean, and refreshing. As for the faucet leaks, mine came with two faucets and a ton of silicone gaskets, one of the two faucets did leak, the gate valve in that faucet sucks, but I quickly swapped it for the secondary faucet. No leaks, no issues. I debated between this unit and a rainfresh gravity system, I landed on this because unit of the esthetics to be honest. It is beautiful, it isn't a stainless steel monstrosity occupying a large space, it's light and airy, you don't really notice it's there. The filters for this seem to be readily avaliable and a decent price compared to other units on the markert. Glad I pulled the trigger on this system
