    Why is this better than reverse osmosis? Please advise since RO is much cheaper

    Lab tests conducted by Cairns Regional Council showed almost no detectable sodium fluoride levels, or any other harmful/dangerous chemicals.

    What isn't mentioned is after how many litres the removal of NaF lasts. It could remove the first 500mls (being a Activiated Alumia (AA) filter, I don't doubt the efficacy). There is no way in hell this is going to remove NaF over any reasonable volume. $359 is quite a bit of money for something with no datasheets and non-standard filters.

    I would also have questions if it could remove anything after a few hundred litres. Those filters are just so small.

    Deliberately fluoridated water is not harmful or dangerous. Unless you're some kind of mutant camel able to ingest thousands of litres of water at a time, you won't approach anything near toxic levels of fluoride from tap water. And in fact, you'd die of water toxicity before the fluoride could even do anything to you.

    Sick of this 'chemicals are bad' nonsense. Literally everything is a chemical, it's what the world (natural and man-made) is made of.

    Get out of here with this snake oil BS.

    This sort of water purifiers are available all across Asia for less than AU$30. What's so special about yours OP?

    Same site also sells salt toothpaste claiming it's better for your teeth (I'm guessing these guys are scared of fluoride for some reason?). Salt is highly abrasive, and abrades away tooth enamel, as well as abrading the gums, and not cleaning as well as regular toothpaste.

    What a load of harmful nonsense.

  • we had this at my previous work. you're meant to scrub that top dome clean every week or so but typically i was the only one other than the manager who'd do this. if you didn't, it got brown and grungy very quickly from the average quality tap-water coming out of the 100+ year old pipes in our building. that lower filter cartridge would typically be replaced every 6 months (again, depends on your water quality) but we could stretch it out to a year without any discernible difference in taste as long as the top filter is frequently cleaned.

    this thing drips out water so slowly and if you have an office of slackers who only know how to fill up their water bottles without filling up the top tank, you're going to run out of water and be waiting hours for it to fill up. hell during summer.

    for a household, this is probably too expensive. don't forget you'll have to keep buying filters for as long as you're running this system. if you own your own home, it'll probably work out cheaper in the long term to get an inline filter installed.

    My in-laws had one of these. Different brand name I think, but otherwise identical. They take up a huge amount of bench space, don't have the best build quality and will quickly build up a bacterial film on the top ceramic filter if it isn't cleaned at least once a week. This was with pretty highly chlorinated Perth water too. Proper cleaning will wear away the ceramic filter fairly quickly too. There was some nonsense about the rocks in the bottom offering some sort of health benefit too. All I could see was more growth media for gunk.
