I'd searched for years for a water filter that lives up to it's claims, and now I have one!
After dealing with sellers ranging from misinformed to evasive, I discovered Ionza. Dean has been so helpful, addressing my queries and concerns.
The 'Fluoride-Free Benchtop Filter TWIN - Town Supply' arrived well-packaged and with helpful, informative instructions.
The only problem with setting up was that the adaptor-ring cut my thumb, and water leaked at the top (solved with a bit of plumbing tape). The diverter tap works well, though I'm still getting the hang of turning off several seconds before I want the flow to stop, as it takes a little while and I don't want to waste a drop of this precious water. The hose is nice and supple (some are very rigid), and the swiveling spout is handy.
I took samples for testing and am thrilled with the reduction in chlorine from 0.82 g/m3 to 0.02 and fluoride from 0.8 to <0.05 i.e.: undetectable! (A vast improvement on the previous filter I bought, which claimed a 90% fluoride reduction, but only managed 33% - I sent it back for a refund).
Now my water is so pristine and clear that I no longer have to clean my kettle with vinegar.
And I have refreshing, safe, delicious water to drink!
(PS: I contacted the manufacturer about the health warning sticker on the carbon filter. It's a California requirement, and has been verified as safe in 49 states).
