Long-Lasting Filters

Step 1 & 2: Pre/Carbon Filter

A mechanical Pre-Filter captures larger particles like sediment and rust, while a Carbon Filter removes chlorine and chloramines for cleaner, better-tasting water.

Lasts 6 months for consistent, high-quality filtration.

Stage 3: Reverse Osmosis Purification

An ultra-fine R.O. filter eliminates harmful inorganic chemicals, including lead, chromium-6, arsenic, nitrates, and heavy metals.

Lasts 2 years for continuous, advanced purification.

Stage 4: VOC Carbon Filtration

A coconut shell carbon block filter reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including rocket fuel, prescription drug residue, and “forever chemicals” (PFOS & PFOA)—leaving you with pure, great-tasting water.

Lasts 1 year for superior contaminant reduction.

Reviews

It works wonderfully

"I’ve seen bad reviews about this and wanted to give it a try anyways and I’m very glad i did. The water filter is amazing and it’s the best counter top RO you could ask for. The water quality is amazing and the issue seems to be people just don’t take care of it with cleaning maintenance or put the water tank on properly. The customer service is absolutely wonderful all of them. I’m really appreciative for being able to have saved up to get this it’s worth the purchase if you can’t get an under the counter one and you can order extra glass pitchers so you can store extra water on the fridge / counter"

Filtering seems efficient and size works for 1bed Apt

"We had limited space and still rent so getting a counter unit was a must have. After tons of research we landed on the Carafe, setup was easy with the most annoying part having to hand wash everything with soap and water before you. . but I get it. So far the filtering works great, we updated to the app so the alerts are helpful, and the water tastes really crisp. Very happy with our purchase! Didn’t give 5 stars due to cost and ongoing maintenance will make this purchase the most expensive in the category."

— Eric G. (4/5)

Water taste great! Product came

"Water taste great! Product came was delivered quick. Easy set up instructions. For anyone having problem connecting the machine thru the app, you need to connect to a 2. 4ghz to make it work. Fortunately, my internet device lets me make a guest account, I changed the setting to 2. 4ghz and it worked! This machine is so worth getting! I got the extra carafe so I have 1 that’s on the fridge and 1 that’s on the machine. I highly recommend this product!"

We have a cottage on

"We have a cottage on well water that has a good amount of iron. We were up last weekend and used it for the first time. I don’t think there is an iron taste! The Brita we have used for years (new filters of course) is now retired. We seem to drink more water as well. Great outcome."

— Michael Y. (5/5)

Great water poor design

"The quality of the water is outstanding. It’s quick & easy too. Unfortunately the design could be better. The machine vibrates & cause the pitcher to slide forward & stops the filtration process. It was an easy fix to put rubber under the carafe to stop it. Manufacture should update design to prevent this issue."

— Deborah P. (4/5)

Excellent Tasting Water so Easy. . . no

"Excellent Tasting Water so Easy. . . no more lugging bottled water home or having to recycle the plastic bottles. It was easy to assemble and the water filtering time is so reasonable. It's been a great addition so far. I would recommend this especially to households of one to two residents, particularly renters."

— Victoria S. (5/5)

So far we really love

"So far we really love it! The only issue in the first week is that once the pitcher stopped filling halfway and we had to plug/unplug and jostle it to even get the power light to come back on. I am hoping this was a one-time thing, maybe a power surge or something and not a faulty switch in the machine. If it happens again, I will let you know. Otherwise we really love it."

Filtered Water at Your Fingertips

"After having an inline water filtration system in my last home, I have become used to drinking filtered water and can definitely tell the difference from drinking tap water. My new home did not have an inline system, and I ordered the AquaTru Carafe model after reading the many 5 star reviews and highly rated consumer reports. This machine is so user friendly, streamline, and produces delicious filtered water quickly into a lovely glass carafe, The design is not an eyesore on my kitchen counter. The 4 canister filtration system is comparable to something found in a commercial filtration system. This is certainly one of my best recent purchases for a healthy lifestyle."

— CHERYL S. (5/5)

So far So good

"I’ve only owned this a couple of weeks so I am still deciding how much I like it. The water tastes good, but for some reason, my filtered water has a slight sulfur smell to it. I’m not sure if it’s the California water that I’m smelling or if it’s a product of the filtration process. I’m willing to deal with that slight odor to drink clean water."

— KAREN M. (4/5)

I love my Aquatru carafe.

"I love my Aquatru carafe. I was easy to set up. The water is so good. I feel safe drinking it and giving it to my Shih Tzu. It look great on my countertop. It's the perfect size. I bought an extra pitcher so I can keep one in the fridge. It was such a great deal as I bought it over the earth day sale. I got a lot of things for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this company and product!!"
