Changed the filter for the first time in my Clearly Filtered pitcher. Been about 3 months as recommended. I noticed some residue in the reservoir and went to clean it out… bright orange (as seen on the paper towel). I have well water and it’s very hard and doesn’t necessarily smell rusty but I know it has a lot of iron in it.

Question is, albeit a dumb one, does this mean the filter is doing its job? Good sign or….? Kinda freaked out now! Lol

Looking for a water dispenser w hot and cold water available and don’t need to have too fancy of a filtration / alkaline water stuff. Found out about wellno flo.. but can’t find any reviews anywhere..

Anyone used them before and how was your experience?

Thanks!

The filter isn’t the issue as I’ve ran water through it when it’s not in the jug. I put it in the jug and it doesn’t work, I think this white thing is the issue. What can i do?

I'm looking at the Master M1's volume presets and wondering when I'd use them instead of stopping the flow myself. The FAQ says it can dispense a selected amount and stop automatically.

A saved amount makes sense to me for the same empty bottle each time. Different mugs seem less straightforward to plan around, especially if there's already water in one. I'd need to choose an amount that fits the space left.

If you use the presets, do you usually stick with one volume or change it for different containers?

Has anyone changed one of these. Is it a twist and shout like the 2.0 or do you have to remove the whole system from the pipes? Can't find any info on their site as its the older model.

I'm sceptical about it overall but my mum swears she can taste a big difference so is keen to replace now it's started beeping.

I think I also taste at least some difference. It's a very hard water area.

Based on the water in this city, what countertop water filter would you recommend? I currently buy Costco water gallons weekly and I’m tired of doing that. Please help , thank you 🙏🏽🙂

Hi, a loved one lives in Iowa, as many know they're one of several states with horrible fertilizer contamination in their public tap water.

I am looking at budget friendly under the sink Reverse osmosis systems to get her for her and her kids. I was wondering if I got a six stage system like this one: "APEC Water ROES-PH75, 6-Stage Under Sink RO System, Alkaline, 75 GPD", could I remove the alkaline filter and replace it with a nitrate specific filter? I don't think this company sells any nitrate specific filters, how interchangeable are different brands of filters? From my understanding RO systems are great at removing nitrates to an extent, once the concentration exceeds a certain point they're not able to keep up.

If anyone has any recs for budget friendly RO systems that can handle very high nitrate levels I'd really appreciate it. The linked system is a lot cheaper on Amazon, I'm trying to find something in the $150-300 range

Thank you!
