Needs improvement
2 weeks ago
The bad: Needs improvement, and further accessories to make it usable. The spout is too large for the water volume. Without a hose or attachment to direct flow, the surface tension of the water directs the stream all over the place, making a mess while filling bottles. They dont sell a hose, and they tell you attaching one may void the warranty. It still takes 10 minutes to fill a gallon, but the instructions say not to leave water in the device for more than two days. It’s a 5-gal drum… you’re supposed to only fill small bottles so that you’re not spending an hour draining it? They don’t have a stand for it, so you have to MacGyver something in place to be able to do other things while filling up and returning every 3 mins to repressurize. It’s a nice idea, but a linger field testing period with this might’ve yielded some of these needed features prior to release.

Water quality tastes great.
