Purewell 2.25G Gravity Water Filter System with Water Level Window, 3-Stage 0.01μm Ultra-Filtration Stainless Steel Countertop System with 2 Filters and Stand, Reduce 99% Chlorine, PW-KS

I bought the 1 gallon Purewell gravity filter. The assembly directions were meh, but it was pretty simple to put together. Nothing leaks after several uses. At first, I didn't think the filter was working. It's VERY slow to start. Drip...drip...drip. Took all day. By the 3rd full cycle, however, it was much better. A thin but mostly continuous drizzle. And it tasted good. No funky taste or odors.On cycle 4, I measured and timed the outflow. I filled the top chamber with a full gallon (4 quarts). It gets right to the top, but it does all fit. After one hour, I was able to dispense 6 cups of water (1 1/2 quarts). I had to tilt it a bit to top off that sixth cup. After a second hour, I was able to dispense about 5 and 2/3 cups of water, tilting again. So it does slow as the weight of the water pressing down on top lessens. The third hour, the flow pretty much stopped, so I went to bed. The next morning, there was very little to dispense. About 1/3 cup. 2 cups remained in the top chamber that never flowed through. And 2 cups remained in the bottom chamber below the spout, even after tilting. So the output is 3 quarts per cycle.My conclusion: 6 cups an hour is plenty for myself and my husband while we're camping. We'll just have to refill the top chamber a few times a day. The filter's size is ideal for packing, and it appears to work well. I recommend running a few cycles through PRIOR to camping or you'll be thirsty that first day!

I got this filter to help reduce the occasional strange taste or odor in the city drinking water (and coffee tastes better, too). It has worked well for the past several months (almost a year). I have the 1.5 gallon version with 2 filters (no separate chlorine/fluorine filters, though it would accept them).Negatives:My biggest gripe is that _most_ of the parts are stainless, except for the washer they provide to go on the top handle. It rusted within a couple weeks of starting to use this. I stopped by my local Ace Hardware and replaced it with a true stainless steel washer - problem solved.Second, the spigot sits up a bit from the bottom of the reservoir, so either leave about a pint of filtered water in the bottom, or tilt the whole unit to get the last of the water out. (I'm not sure that I've seen a better design with other suppliers). I've just been continually refilling it...Positives:I have been using the plastic spigot (it comes with a metal one as well). No issues with leakage (again, after several months of daily use).The filter process is quick - faster than some other similar water filters quote in their specs (including that "B" company). I can fill up the top and have enough filtered water for morning coffee in just a couple minutes (before the bread pops up out of the toaster).I definitely recommend getting the stand. It elevates the spigot high enough to easily fit my 2-cup (half liter) measure without having to tilt. Every coffee mug in the house also fits under with ease (one at a time :^)Overall I am pleased with this unit and I would purchase it (or a bigger version) if I needed another water filter.

The top tier of this system is rusting where the cover meets. I did not expect that and was not looking for that. I contacted the company but they continue to give me the run around. They do not address my request to replace the top tier The system should not rust but this one did. Purewell did reach out and agreed to a refund. It works well but I believe the top tier due to its folded lip invites rust unless you are diligent about maintaining. Important to keep area dry.

I ordered this as I do not like the taste of water in plastic bottles and in order to not cause myself to become dehydrated while on travel for work, I bought the Purewell water filtration system, primarily because it is smaller than other systems. However, I have the (way more expensive) Big B****y system and for some reason, the water from that (larger) system tastes better and cleaner. The Purewell is better than plastic bottles, therefore, I'll continue to take it with me on travel given the smaller size; however, this system will in no way replace my other system while I am at home. If you want a cheaper and smaller water purifier system, I do recommend this system.

Nice filter system! Removes all the chlorine smell from my tap water. It takes a few hours to finish filtering because it is a gravity drip system. Oh and the filters. You've really got to let them break in. The first 2-3 runs will taste like plastic. Once those are through the water becomes tasteless. Apparently the more expensive filters break in quicker and some people soak the filters for a few days before using them, so they don't waste 2-3 runs of water. That part is kinda annoying, but once I got through it I've been completely happy with my filter system!

Just as good as Berkey but half the price. I got the fluoride filter and my tap water that usually tastes like pool water now tastes amazing. I feel so good drinking this water. I’m not going anywhere without this filter!! The whole chamber filters pretty quickly in about 30 minutes.
