The clean & pure counter top water filter is not the high quality product that it is advertised as.
The manufacturers advertise it as a maintenance free counter top water filter, and that is absolutely true.
But, let me explain to you why "maintenance free" at least in this instance, is a bad thing.
The actual meaning of maintenance free in this case is that there are no replaceable parts on the unit.
When something as simple as a filter goes bad, you have to throw out the entire unit and purchase a new one.
You might think of the clean & pure counter top water filter as a "one-hit wonder".
You would think that something that is touted as a maintenance free counter top water filter would have a long lifespan.
However, many customers who have purchased the clean & pure counter top water filter say that it barely passed the 30 day guarantee period before breaking down.
If you were to do an internet search for consumer product reviews for the clean & pure counter top water filter, you would admittedly find that some customers were satisfied.
Claims that the product removes chlorine and odor are right on target.
Unfortunately, that's about all that the maintenance free counter top water filter does.
It does not purify.
Your local treatment facility does quite a bit to protect your health.
One thing that they can not do is remove certain bacterial cysts that, if ingested, can cause illness and even death, in rare cases.
In order to be a purifier, a product should remove these cysts.
The clean & pure counter top water filter does not.
So, what you are drinking is by no means "pure".
How can the manufacturer of this so-called maintenance free counter top water filter claim that the unit is a purifier? The truth is that the manufacturer makes no such claim.
If contacted, they will tell you that the clean & pure counter top water filter is not a purifier.
It is just the advertising and the marketing ploys that are misleading.
It turns out that the maintenance free counter top water filter is simply a disposable chlorine remover.
It will do nothing to protect you from other chemicals.
It does not block cysts.
It does not really clean and what it puts out is no "purer" than what comes out of your tap.
For about the same price ($40), you could get a Brita for your faucet.
Brita is not the best on the market.
It does not block THMs or VOCs, but it does remove cysts and lead.
The clean & pure water filter cannot even protect your family from lead poisoning.
In a number of cities around the country, lead has been found to contaminate tap water.
In those areas, citizens are advised not to drink from the tap, unless they have installed a lead blocking purifier.
There are many reasonably priced products that will do the job.
The clean & pure counter top water filter is not one of them.
Make the right choice for your health.
