Buyer's feedback: - * Constantly breaks, rotten product support ...
This unit worked okay for a couple of months, then the diverter valve malfunctioned. They shipped me a new one, but that one was defective too. I'm on my third diverter valve, and frankly I'm tired of having to change this part. The description of this item does not let you know that you will constantly have to be replacing a key part or the thing won't work. So, in addition to replacing the filter, you'll also have to contact their customer support to have them repeatedly send you a new part. You will have to install this part also, taking up your time. If the filter ever malfunctions, be prepared to open the filter yourself and troubleshoot it with their customer service people, and you're lucky if you can open the damn thing. I soaked mine and still could not open it.

Bottom line, yeah it filters water, but with the added hassle of many many part changes. I've only had the thing 6-7 months and already I've changed the part in question 3 times. Somehow they always manage to send me defective parts too, imagine that. And they are under the mistaken assumption that if the diverter valve malfunctions, they are not responsible for honoring the 1 year warranty because "the filter itself is still working" !! and because they sell the diverter valve separately as well...even though you cannot get water out of it with the diverter valve malfunctioning. You figure that one out. So, just because they also charge some people money for this part in question, therefore when that part breaks down on the filter, it's not their problem. I told them I'm tired of changing this part and could I get a unit that works - nope! They'll just keep sending me new (defective) diverter valves.

So....I just thought other buyers should know what they're getting themselves into with this product....many part changes every 2 months. Rotten product support, and it sounds like they only honor the 1 year warranty if the filter inside conks out. If anything else malfunctions, you're screwed. And since they are shipping units out with defective parts (and keep sending ME these defective parts as replacements), you can bet that yours will probably have a defective part too.

If the filter would just work properly without so much time invested on my part, then I'd give it 5 stars. But because I have to keep changing this part and will have to keep doing so into the foreseeable future, I give it one star. This is just an unacceptable defect for a filter that is this expensive.

Buyer's feedback: - Great overall, small glitch
I purchased this filter about 3 months ago, so writing on 3 months of continual use.

I live in Sofia, Bulgaria, and the city water's a bit dodgy. Ex: If you leave for a few days and come back, lot's of rusty colored brown water pours out the first minute or so of running the tap.

PROS:
Overall, I *love* the water filter:

It's easy to set up,
The water seems to come out pretty clean/tastey. I've been using various Brita filters in the past, and I prefer this one. It could be psychosomatic, just *thinking* that it's a bigger & beefier filter, but...
It's also convenient, no frequent filter changes and it takes up very little counter space. I also didn't like to have to remember the Brita filter changes.

CONS:
The only downside is that the auto turn-off feature is a bit sketchy. Mine stopped working after 1 week. There's a small metal valve on the faucet that you pull out to get the water re-routed to the filter. When you turn off the faucet, this value is supposed to auotmatically pop back into place. The thing broke pretty fast, which is dissapointing. Now, when the water faucet is turned off, I have to remember to manually push it back. There's some warning in the instructions that you shouldn't push it back into position when the water is still running (which I didn't), so I'm mindful to push it back in only when I'm finished.

I'd give her 5 stars if the build quality of the valve was better!

Buyer's feedback: - * Good service. ...
Bought a New Wave Enviro - Premium 10 Stage Countertop Water Filter System
which saved me quite a bit off the store price. No problems with it.
Arrived quite a bit sooner than promised.

Buyer's feedback: - Great filter~
We bought this filter at a local health food store, and paid too much ($125 + tax).

We have had this filter for about 10 days now and love it! We did have a PUR water filter on our kitchen sink faucet, but now we have this ENVIRO filter and what a WORLD of difference!

The water tastes so clean, not metallic as when we simply had a PUR carbon filter on our kitchen sink faucet. This ENVIRO filter puts the water through 10 stages of filtering. I wish we had a filter like this for the bathroom sink!

Also, the water came out so slow when using a simple carbon filter (like PUR or BRITA). However, with this ENVIRO filter, the water comes out in a steady, smooth stream from the spicket on the filter itself.

This item was very easy to set up. And, each time you use it, you simply pull this little metal stick knob and then turn on the faucet and the water flows smoothly from the filter. When you have all the filtered water you want you simply turn the faucet off, and with the release of the water pressure, the stick knob goes back into its original position (without one having to mess with the knob).

Highly reccommended!

Buyer's feedback: - * I spoke too soon - not a 5 star - maybe a 2-3 star ...
I originally gave this 5 stars but after 2 months it stopped working. We cleaned the filter as directed but it still wasn't taking the lime/calcium out of the well water even though it wasn't even close to the 600 gallon suggested replacement level. I purchased a replacement filter anyway but that didn't last any longer than the first filter. I don't know if it's because this water is so bad but that was the reason I purchased it; it said it was specifically for bad water. I can't seem to change it from a 5 star though. Here was my original review.....
It was so easy to set-up and the water pressure is pretty good. I use it to fill gallon jugs for coffee & drinking. The $55 cost of the replacement filters is great considering .79 per gallon at the store x 600 gallons is about $475. The only surprise was on inital set-up; requires running clean water thru for several minutes then letting it set for 24-hrs. So far it seems to be worth it.
