AquaTru Carafe Countertop Water Purifier Compact 4-Stage Reverse Osmosis System with Glass Carafe Removes 84 Contaminants Including Forever

The AquaTru Carafe Countertop Water Purifier has become an essential part of my daily life. I use it for every glass of water I drink. Its simple, straightforward operation makes it very easy to live with, and it’s especially well suited for apartment dwellers since it requires no plumbing or permanent installation. Despite being a countertop unit, it uses standard, easy-to-replace filters, which I really appreciate. Filter changes are simple and don’t feel proprietary or overcomplicated. For renters, this makes long-term ownership much less of a hassle. Water quality is where this system really stands out. The city I live in heavily overcompensates for known bacteria issues, which causes tap water to smell and taste strongly of chlorine. The AquaTru removes both the taste and odor completely. The difference is immediate and very noticeable, resulting in clean, neutral-tasting water. I also really like the glass carafe. It looks good on the counter, feels solid and pleasant to handle, and helps reduce my concerns about microplastics in drinking water compared to plastic containers. After daily use, I’ve picked up a few tips that make ownership even smoother: 1. Always fully empty and rinse the intake tank before refilling it. Some water remains after filtering, but it’s dirty water from the filtration process and should be discarded. 2. Remove the carafe before placing the tank back onto the unit to avoid fighting the vacuum pressure created by the pump. 3. Make sure all filters are fully seated before operating the purifier. Overall, this is a well-designed, reliable countertop water purifier that delivers excellent results without installation hassles. If you’re dealing with unpleasant-tasting tap water and want a simple, apartment-friendly solution, the AquaTru Carafe is absolutely worth it. Read more

This purifier works really well. The water tastes good and it filters it very quickly. We are a two person household and even then, we have to refill it fairly often, but it's very easy to do. It's a natural routine for us now. I wish the carafe was a little thicker. The first unit we bought arrived with the carafe completely broken. Why a company doesn't package their product better, I don't know. We were sent a quick replacement however so we are happy. It is super easy to set up and it doesn't take up anymore counter space than a coffee maker would. That's good for us, because we rent and an under the counter system wouldn't work for us. Read more

Update - 4/15/ 2025 I replaced my PRE filter on 4-14-25 and my VOC filter on 4-15-25.That is just a little over 6 month life span for those 2 filters. My water is considered moderately hard. It in my opinion a 6 month life span for 6 carafes filtered daily is a good performance. I just purchased the descaling Kit and have yet to use it. My Carafe is still preforming well, with no issues _____________________________ Update since I have received it Purchased during October Prime Day 2024 Still, nothing to complain about. The unit is a nice size for my counter. It still makes great-tasting water. To the manufacturer - Can you make the unit in Blue? How about a stainless steel carafe top instead of a plastic top? (My Opinion) The cost of filters on Amazon is overpriced. Why so expensive? Go to the manufacturer's website, they are less expensive, pick yourself up a few 3-set filter replacements Background. Tap water drinker dislikes the taste and cost of bottled water but also hate the taste of tap water. Pain in the butt to reclaim deposits on bottle empties. Try not to be subjected to Microplastic particles where I can help it. Uses an ample amount of Lemon and Lime juice to kill the chlorine smell and lousy taste of my tap water. Took advantage of the prime deal for this water purifier and am extremely happy with the results and difference made to what I am now drinking. The taste and smell of my tap water is night and day. I'm so excited, and happy that I have been processing large batches of purified water and handing out samples to others to try. Pros Easy to set up. Small form factor- the size of a mid-size coffee maker. Cartridges snap right in Time to purify after the initial 4 x flushing is pretty quick Great tasting water without the plastic water bottles and required need to recycle Will eliminate my need for lemon or lime juice My water no longer smells like my pool was just treated ! Cons I can find nothing to complain about Things to Know. There is a small amount of waste water produced for each batch purified that must be discarded but let us put this in perspective. You no longer have to purchase water in plastic bottles (that is good for the environment and your pocket ) No need for costly water subscriptions or lugging home cases of water or bottles I got all three replacement filters for 54.00 dollars with additional tax and shipping If you feel bad dumping the wastewater back into the sink you can find useful things to use it for like plant water.
