If you’re willing to risk buying an already defective product.

Many seem to enjoy using the product because of how well it works. Several customers have stated that paired with their other water softener/ water filter it works fantastically. Their water seemed even more clear than with the other water softeners alone. Another reason so many people enjoyed this product is because it can be used anywhere. A product that can be used in a home as well as an office or an apartment shows diversity that you don’t get with other water filters.

That being said, there are problems that come with owning this product. This includes a pressure release valve that seems to always leak.
