Crystal Quest - Water Pitcher Filter System - Clear - Standard (Smart)

I've tried Brita, PUR, and Clearly Filtered, but none tasted good to me.Based on Dr Berg's recommendation, I tried Crystal Quest and immediately noticed better taste. To filter arsenic as well, I use two filters—one for arsenic, one for fluoride—by pouring filtered water from one into the other. This double filtration gives me the best-tasting water I've ever had, and it extends the lifespan of the second filter.I loved it so much that I bought four—two for the kitchen, two for upstairs.A few notes: Sometimes there's black residue at the bottom—just harmless carbon, easily poured out. Also, if the lid doesn’t close properly, reposition it carefully, ensuring the lower plastic piece sits on top rather than wedging into the carafe.Highly recommend getting fluoride+arsenic filters for great-tasting, double purified water!

The pitcher drains properly. The water tastes good. I bought because I can also use a flouride filter.I see some have complained about black specs. I suspect they are seeing charcoal. If so this is not usually harmful, to my knowledge.Nothing smells with mine with the original filter. Maybe the flouride filter smells, if so maybe it's a sign of effect because flouride gas smells. Could the filter be releasing gas in the filtering process?

I bought this under the recommendation of Dr. Berg from YT. While most of his recs are good, this one was not. I don't mind the time it takes to filter the water, but it shouldn't be as slow as it is pouring. Additionally, when pouring, the unfiltered water leaks out of the top where the dial to change the filter is. Overall a very poor design. Save your money.

Good product - easy to assemble and use. Nice capacity to fill my quart thermos for the gym. I would give this a 4.5 if that were an option - only because the lid is really not designed to stay on tight - you have to hold it down when you pour - but thats no big deal - you just know that and adapt accordingly. The water tastes good and knowing that I am not ingesting FLUORIDE - is comforting. Wont do much for my IQ at this point LOL but other toxic affects I hope to avoid as well. I would recommend it for sure.

Terrible design. Lid doesn’t click in and falls off when you pour. Water that’s unfiltered also comes out with filtered water. Not worth the price

6 month filters or 2000 gallons

Since I only drink water (plain, or as beverage base) I wanted to try a variety of brands, which have included PUR, Up &Up (Target), Zerowater, and Crystal Quest. Although CQ has a slightly smaller pitcher, it is my favorite….has the most comfortable handle by far, and best lid. Because of this, I don’t mind its smalller size at all, it’s a pleasure to fill it. (Zerowater’s pitcher design is horrible, esp. the lid, the other 2, are ok). And the CQ filter will last longer. Water tastes great. Highly recommend.

Definitely an engineering glitch. The lid on the carafe will not stay on, when I pour water into anything, the lid falls right off. Fallen into my keurig water tank, my pets water bowl, and glass for water.As long as I keep filter section level, no filter sediment seeps into the filtered area.
