Purewell 1.5 Gallon Stainless Steel Countertop 8-Stage Water Filter System with Metal Water Level Spigot and Stand, Reduce TDS and Chlorine – Perfect for Kitchen Use, Camping, and Adventure

June 26, 2025 We wanted a small countertop water filtration system and this one popped up on my Amazon search. We received the unit two days ago and we are very pleased with the speed it filters. We used food coloring in the top tank to make sure we had the filters on tight enough. We are on well water and we test our water annually. The copper levels were higher than acceptable which is why we bought this filtration system. Water from the faucet shows high levels; water from the Purewell shows no copper. A product without a company behind it can be problematic. I am pleased to say I needed to contact Purewell and their response was timely, factual, and expressed a genuine interest in what we needed from them. They believe in their product. This is one of those rare companies who know we as consumers have choices and they appreciate it when we choose them. As with any product I review, I always end with the question of would I buy this again? Yes. Edit: July 10, 2025 We liked it so much we bought another one. We are very happy with both purchases.

This unit filters the water very quickly. However, when I tested it with my TDS meter it showed 149 ppm. Their information inside the package says it will not register properly with a TDS meter. I wrote to the manufacturer by email to ask how I would test it. And they returned my message and handled the problem efficiently and quickly. About a month later it seem to not be draining properly and again they answered my email quickly and resolved my problem. I give this product and customer service five stars. I purchased the one and a half gallon size and it’s perfect for one to two people. The taste of the water is perfect. I have been camping and on the road so it works very well for me.

I love it, but it's tall and if you're handicapped like me, it's hard to tell when it needs refilled. Even when I do fill it up, sometimes it doesn't come out of the top but it will leak out and I wake up to water all over the counter. I now know to only fill it with three large Rubbermaid cups and I do that every other day or two. Please measure where you will put it before you buy! Because of our cabinets, I can't put it under them. I have only one spot by the kitchen window and no cabinet space I can use it. Have to put my water bottle in the sink to get it under the spout to pour into it.

This filter is great and one vessel stores inverted in the other for compact storage in my camper van. I couldn’t find any secure place to carry the Berkey in my van, but this one is totally doable. I carry it in it’s inverted form in a bucket under the rear sofa and pull it out when I need to filter drinking water from my water tank.

This water filter is awesome I originally wanted a berkey but it’s too big for my kitchen space also the price was a bit high. I need filter water for sourdough baking and also I like to fill up a pitcher and put in refrigerator for cold water through the day. This system was easy to put together, no leaking, water tastes great. It also came with two spout to choose from plastic or metal I chose the metal. I love this and recommend for a small space or just a starter size

My Brita broke and I didn’t like the amount of plastic it contained especially the filters so wanted a more eco friendly filter. After researching a lot I felt this was the best option seeing the fillers last 6,000 gallons and the size is perfect. Had an issue with one filter not working and was able to get it replaced very easily. Now it is working perfectly! First few times the taste wasn’t great but now it’s very enjoyable and easy to use.

This product leaks and ruins your floor and carpets. AND it leaks everywhere. If you put water that doesn't filter to the bottom half the rubber gauge doesn't hold so you can only put enough water to fill up the bottom container. Unfortunately the bottom container start to leak via the on/off lever. Concept great - real life working poor, I am idisappointed - I wanted this product to be the best.

The unit works as advertised and is simple to put together. However.... In my case we have very hard water and very high TDS where I live so I opted for the TDS filters to add to it. They did their job but that caused the pH to drop to about 3.4. I'm still learning this water stuff but that's no good for my plants or for me from what I read. Without the tds filters TDS is unaffected but in my house that means 1000ppm from my tap! This also isn't good. My only point is this thing may depend on your actual needs..I got a countertop RO machine for my drinking water for not much more and both the TDS and pH are great for drinking. However I'm a bit of a prepper so I wanted this for such an occasion or camping. Plus I wanted it for my plants to reduce the wear and tear on my counter top RO filter. The unit works great and I have zero complaints otherwise..this is more about understanding what you expect or didn't expect from the water and you won't know that if you don't test it. Hope that helps.
