Atoll A-575m STD

Advantages: Pure, pleasant-tasting water, quality of materials (despite the fact that some components are made in Taiwan, the PENTEK membrane is made in the USA), relative ease of installation, read many reviews, watched many videos, took water from friends who already have similar systems and wore it for analysis, after which it was concluded that the ATOLL A-575m system is the best today in terms of the quality of water and materials in this price category, after the work I did, I dispelled many myths about reverse osmosis systems for myself, about which I read in reviews on the Internet or watched on TV programs. I recommend this system for people like me who suffer from gout.

Disadvantages: Many people complain about pipe connectors, the so-called connectors, It was the quality of these connectors that made me buy this particular system, and not the Geyser Prestige M which I wanted to buy at the beginning, of course this is a weak point and some of them have leaks, but I have none there were no problems with that.

Comment: I want to immediately explain that the reverse osmosis systems with the ATOLL A-550m, A-550m STD or A-575m, A-575m STD mineralizer are absolutely the same, the difference is only in the water filtration rate, the A-575m STD filter membrane is capable of passing 195 liters into day, that is, a 12 liter tank will be filled in 1.5-2 hours, and the filter membrane of the A-550m series can pass 120 liters per day, respectively, a 12 liter tank will be filled in 2.5-3 hours. Filter membranes are interchangeable, so you can buy a system at a cheaper price, and then when the time comes to change the membrane, replace it with a membrane with a higher flow capacity. I recommend buying a 12 liter tank, since 7-8 liters of water is placed in it. The tank is divided into 2 parts by a diaphragm, in the upper part of the tank there is water, but at the bottom pressure. calcium and magnesium, as well as that the PH changes a lot and the water becomes not tasty, complete nonsense (THESE TALKS ARE FROM THAT SERIES THAT APPLE CONTAINS A LOT OF IRON, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT MORE THAN IN OTHER FRUITS) people have not fully understood the situation. The body receives minerals not with water, but with food. YES THE MINERALIZER SATURATES WATER by 3-5%, BUT IT IS NECESSARY ONLY TO IMPROVE THE TASTE OF THE WATER, IF YOU WANT TO RECEIVE MINERALS THROUGH WATER, YOU SHOULD DRINK ESSENTUKI. If the filter emits extraneous sounds, the pressure in the pipes is high, you should close the tap a little, if the tank is not filled for a long time and a lot of water is drained into the drain, then the pressure is low and the pump must be installed.Additions: the instructions indicate the frequency of replacement of replaceable elements (cartridges), it is overestimated on filters of all brands, I recommend changing the first mechanical prefilter after 3 months (WITH 5MKM CELL), and the rest after 5 months, this will save the membrane and your money, because the replacement membranes are expensive.

Advantages: Performs its function. Performs efficiently. The water tastes good and is clean. The kettle is completely free of scale when used every day for 7 months. The cartridges are better than those of competitors (the charcoal prefilter is several times more airtight even in appearance, therefore the water is filtered through it, and does not flow past). Storage tank - 12 liters. A full tank is filled in 1 hour. I put water from an ordinary tap and from the filter to the cats, they chose from the filter and did not touch the usual one))). Bonaqua without gas tastes much worse, the feeling is that it is just boiled tap water.

Disadvantages: - The price is higher than that of Russian counterparts, but it correlates with the quality - Quick disconnect connections (it is very difficult to disconnect them)

Comment: Chose a filtration system for the apartment. The main priority was the purity of the water and the choice fell on systems with reverse osmosis as the clear and undeniable leader in these matters. Among the reverse osmosis filters, Atoll is the trendsetter. This company has a large selection. Russian counterparts have few models and they do not inspire confidence upon closer examination. After 7 months of use, no complaints. Change 3 pre-filters = 700 rubles = 1 time in 6 months. For those who buy water in a store - minus the problem ... no need to carry around to suffer and no need to spend money on water whose quality is lower.

Advantages: Quality. Delicious water. The scale in the teapots has disappeared completely. The volume of a barrel is 12 liters, useful 7-8 for a family of 3 people is quite enough.

Disadvantages: Replacement filters are expensive.

Comment: I installed the filter myself, there were no problems, everything was included. You only need a screwdriver and two screws.

Advantages: It is still difficult to assess, little in use. I drink water with pleasure and without fear. I haven't drunk tap water before.

Disadvantages: Not detected.

Comment:

Advantages: After cleaning, the water is tasty, transparent without a hint of sediment, there is no scale in the kettle for 3 months of use.

Disadvantages: with active use, it is better to choose a larger tank. In the evening I fill up all the humidifiers, after that I have to wait a bit to use more water for cooking.

Comment: taking into account the very hard water in the house, it was just a salvation for us. The water is delicious, we stopped buying bottles from the store. The kettle and humidifiers are clean, no limescale deposits. It is compact under the sink, the faucet looks nice. During the installation, we used the services of the company vodaavozduh.rf, so this stage was passed quickly and without difficulties ..

Advantages: High cleaning quality Good appearance

Disadvantages: The high cost of the filter and consumables (but can be taken from other manufacturers)

Comment: We put this filter in the office for a couple of months. As a result, 40 people drink water from it every day. There is enough tank for this amount.There were fears that during critical hours the tank would be completely emptied and the water supply would slow down, but even with such active consumption by a large number of people, there are no problems with this. Maybe it will be summer when people drink more water in the heat. Everyone likes the quality of the water. The filter looks nice and solid. Snow-white flasks inspire confidence and delight the eye. And although no one sees it under the sink - when you open it - it's nice :) Of the minor shortcomings, we can note the price of the filter itself: all filter elements are standard and interchangeable in filters from different manufacturers. Atoll filters are 2-3 times more expensive than our analogs. The price increased strongly with the dollar exchange rate. Therefore, I took an analogue of Osmo Barrier 100 for the house. The quality of cleaning is the same. Price 4400 for the Barrier instead of 12000 for the Atoll. + in the Barrier the tank is one and a half times smaller, which is quite enough for a family + takes up less space under the sink. The atoll looks better and better. But I'm not ready to overpay 3 times for it. Total: a good filter in all respects. But it is not competitive in terms of price compared to Russian counterparts, which are not inferior in filtration quality. It is completed with a relatively large tank (8 liters of usable volume), which is convenient for large families or offices.

Advantages: Judging by the testimony of testers, it cleans water well, while, due to the presence of a mineralizer, it does not frighten that it makes it "almost distilled"

Disadvantages: For half a year of use, not a single one worked

Comment:

Advantages: First of all, the quality of the outlet water. The design proved to be reliable and sealed.

Disadvantages: Outwardly, the design seems unreliable :) Slow collection of water even from a filled tank (a standard glass of water is filled in 10 seconds). Expensive service. It is recommended to change the prefilters every six months (which is 1500+ r).

Comment: We have been using it for several weeks. The water is delicious. Before that, we bought five-liter bottles, tried many different ones, but for ourselves we settled on two brands. There is probably no point in naming it. So, in terms of taste, the water from the filter (with a mineralizer), subjectively, is not inferior. We cannot "finish off" the remaining five-liter bottles, because the soul even more already lies to the water "from the tap" :) The hardness of water (it is the amount of salts) is about 20 chemical units. I haven't seen anything less yet. For comparison, from what we measured, in springs 40-80, bottled water 80-600. I did not measure it before the mineralizer, there should be less (0?). In a flowing 3-stage geyser, this indicator practically did not decrease. Design. The tubes are fastened with special plastic fasteners with metal "spacers" inside. You insert the tube all the way, and then you just pull the plastic ring off the fastener by 1-2mm and it seems like everything. You fix it with a clip so that the ring does not slide back. almost two fingers can be connected. I thought that when I turned on the inlet tap, the water would spur in all directions. But, surprisingly, not a single drop has flowed under the bridge over the entire time. Also, the instructions say that the flasks in which the filters are located must be twisted by hand, without much effort. By the way, before that there was a Geyser filter and the main reason for replacing it was that these flasks were leaking, no matter how hard I twisted them (with a tool). Although there were no cracks. In general, we are very satisfied with the purchase. We were ready for all the shortcomings, the result is worth it.

Advantages: Free shipping, one year warranty, clean water without impurities and odors, no scale in the kettle.

Disadvantages: We need a big tank.

Comment: I have long wanted this type of filter for a sink. Many of my friends already have one. But the salary did not allow, then there was no time to deal with this issue. I was deciding which filter to take for a month. 2. I stopped there. I made a purchase in Filtromir. Everything was fast and smooth. I paid by card. Delivery was free. The water really tasted good and clear. There is not even a hint of scale. Good company, I recommend.
