"I love aquatru reverse osmosis filters . I just changed all my filters I can tell the difference in the taste of my water. Incredible clean and pure. This change alone it’s a huge difference for a healthier life. Thank you aquatru for your amazing service and products. I’m grateful I have found you."
"Ten years plus in and we absolutely love our AquaTru! We use it all day every day for everything! Even the pets get filtered water!!"
"GREAT water filter system..the water is delicous...always a clean flavor"
"I can taste when the filter goes out. Love having a replacement filter. Cheaper than buying bottled water."
"We have well water and this system has improved our water tremendously! Coffee tastes so much better as well. I’m very glad we purchased this system and highly recommend it."
"Cannot rate the system we purchased because we have yet to find a company to make the joke in our quartz countertop. The manufacturer of our countertop does not do the work. Calls to over 15 manufacturers have turned fruitless. Most do not do work in home or we are too far out of their service areas. So it sits in a box."
"Love our AquaTru filtration and peace of mind!"
"Have had my filtering machine possibly a decade by now. First in NM with calcium hard water. Now in Colorado with lime hard water. By changing filters regularly, I continue to enjoy delicious tasting water regardless of where I'm living!"
"I enjoy my Classic AquaTru water filter. I originally ordered the mineralized filter, but after 6 months, I realized I'm getting too much electrolytes. I do drink a lot of water. However, I also found out I can switch the mineralized filter with the Classis Pre/Carbon filter, making the water at a PH level of 7. Now I can enjoy all the water I want without worrying about getting too many electrolytes. Thank you, AquaTru."
"the aquatru classic provides us with tasty clear water. I am confident in the clean quality as I have come to trust ideal living for high standards and elegant design. as the filter is part of the system that works so well for us. . . five stars!"
