Those purifier that attaches to the faucet does a decent job at filtering out a lot of bad stuff but with an R/O system you get like nearly pure water. Also with an R/O system you'll need space for a holding tank for the clean,filtered water. There's typically 2-3 prefilters that is recommended to be replaced annually and a single R/O membrane that needs to be replaced about every 8 years or so. They sell a cheap digital device that tests for TDS to see when your membrane needs replacing. After a couple of years of lugging around water bottles, I absolutely love my R/O......8 years running.is it worth it to buy one attached to the faucet or is those pitcher type filters good enough? I seriously need to stop buying bottled water
Well...no, it doesn't. The website you linked even states that it "leaves the beneficial minerals in the water", meaning it is designed to filter particulates/molecules up to a certain size.The Berkey will filter out anything
Good point. I use the optional fluoride filters with mine. I used to drink tap water, now it tastes terrible to me. I even take the Berkey on vacation.Well...no, it doesn't.
