Geyser Prestige 2

Advantages: - Low price (it cost me 3700, version WITHOUT a storage tank) - Compact and well-thought-out design, only 2 modules (low costs for consumables and operation, about 1-2 thousand per YEAR) - 3-year warranty - Installation instructions fully comply with constructive features (all the shortcomings of previous versions, which were written about in early reviews, have been eliminated; my copy is a batch of 09.16 with tap No. 4) - Ideal quality of water purification (BEFORE cleaning - 310 mg / l, AFTER - 5-6 mg / l by TDS meter readings after 1.5 months of operation) - The water tastes good and is soft; the problem of scale in household appliances is resolved - No budget spending on bottled water; not tied to water delivery time - More free space: no more cooler, 19 liter bottles in the past Bottom line: I am extremely pleased with this purchase.

Disadvantages: Low rate of water purification - about 250 ml / min.

Comment: USEFUL INFORMATION: 1. From my point of view, the tank is not really needed: the water stagnates, bacteria can develop. Better to use a decanter or other container. 2. ALWAYS use the installation service from the company. First, avoid unnecessary hassle with tools / materials, installation process. Secondly, if a factory defect is found, the master will replace the filter for you. Thirdly, if you install it yourself, then you lose * the installation warranty *. This means that if there are any problems with the filter, then you will have to dismantle the filter yourself and take it to the Geyser office (the guarantee for the filter itself remains). If the company installs, then in the event of a breakdown, the master himself goes to your house and inspects / repairs / replaces. 3. Purchase an instrument called a salt meter (TDS meter). It shows how much dissolved impurities are in the water (mg / liter). With its help, you will be able to assess the condition of your filter and the quality of its work. The ideal indicator for drinking water is the range of values ​​from 0 to 50 mg / l. Example. You take a measurement a couple of days after installing the filter and you get, say, 7 mg / l. An excellent indicator. Then periodically take the same measurements (once every couple of months will be enough). After a year, you find that the indicator has become, for example, 14 mg / l. The result is still excellent. Therefore, in fact, replacement of filter cartridges is not required yet. 4. DO NOT buy a mineralizer. This is a waste of money.Even if he gives you some mineralization, it will be scanty. Let me give you an example. Standard bottled drinking water contains 30 mg / liter of calcium. A person's need per day is about 1 gram. You need to drink more than 33 liters of water per day to meet your daily calcium needs from water. So those who say that "filtered water leads to demineralization" are actually mistaken: the real source of minerals must be food.

Advantages: High filtration rate (in comparison with classical osmosis), small size, easy installation. Surprisingly reliable design with a flimsy appearance.

Disadvantages: The tee requires an FUM seal.

Comment: Looking at the thin tubes and their clever fixation, he worried about the tightness of the structure. Surprisingly, after assembly, there was not a single leak anywhere. But all the same, when I leave, I try to block the filter inlet, I still have much more confidence in the classic water connections, and I do not have a main pressure reducer. The quality of the water, I hope, corresponds to the declared one. From personal feelings: The taste of water is absolutely neutral, which it should be. The mineralizer was not set on the basis of the principle that minerals should be obtained from food, not water. There is no sediment on the furniture after pouring into the humidifier. Cereals and other dense foods began to boil faster. The water at the outlet of the filter is saturated with air as carbonated, in the water there is a significant number of small bubbles, which are then concentrated on the walls of the container. Herbal infusions and tea are less saturated in color, as if a little lemon was added. This is normal, since the water is almost distilled, and such water has a balance shift towards the acidic zone due to the filtration of calcium ions, the main cation in tap water. I am satisfied with the purchase.

Advantages: 1. Price 2. Complete set 3. Possibly cleaning

Disadvantages: The monometer shows 5At the cleaning speed of 3L in 60min ... If you have a water meter, you will have to fork out for the water poured into the sewer, since when the outlet tap on the sink is closed, the discharge into the sewer does not stop (I may have a defective system). instructions are not specified about draining water from the pre-filter when you first turn it on, but you can kill osmosis right away .. (read the commentary)

Comment: I was looking for an inexpensive system with Osmosis. The geyser was excellent for the price. The package is good, everything you need is present. Quick-connect tubes are generally a masterpiece))) I also bought a transparent flask with a nylon prefilter for 557r, (the cartridge is separately from 50 to 90r) ..., to save the resource of an expensive prefilter from Geyser. The water itself tastes normal, what else can you say - distillate Connection !!! Attention, I advise you to use tow (and wind the tow wet), connect all devices in series. As it was with me; 1. connected a glass pre-filter, bleed air; that is, he supplied water to the filter without closing the outlet (if you supply water to a closed system, the air is displaced by water, consider it always find a hole, or push it through) 2. Cut off the water and connect the Geyser prefilter. A tube in a bucket, I open the water: BLACK WATER WITH COAL GOES! The second bucket you set is clean. 3. A tube into the osmosis membrane and turn on the water with the tap open again. I bleed water and use clean water ..... What I wish for you too!

Advantages: Inexpensive, cleans water perfectly, takes up very little space

Disadvantages: Not very popular aspeople do not believe that with such a small size, it really purifies water - because of this, it disappeared from sale in many large stores.

Comment: A perfect filter, not just a PRE-filter. We have been using it for more than three years, there are specials. instrument - TDS-meter, which measures water impurities (not strong in nuances, but this meaning). Hard water has indicators of several hundred, distillate has zero. So the indicator after this prefilter is stable about 10, despite the fact that from the tap is not less than 350. In addition, the membrane and prefilter can be replaced much less often than the manufacturer claims. We did not change the pre-filter for a whole year - the ability to purify water dropped very slightly (from 7 to 14 somewhere according to the TDS meter readings). I can safely advise this wonderful unit.

Advantages: Filters water

Comment: How it filters water "perfectly", etc. enough has been written. I would like to draw the attention of potential buyers to one very important detail !!! This filter comes in 2 (two) versions. With and without storage tank. Many commentators point out that, in principle, it does not matter what they say this way and that, everything is the same! DO NOT BELIEVE IT !!! These models have different connections !!! The point is that if you take a filter without a tank, then the set includes faucet No. 4. Faucet No. 4 has a connection in 3 pipes (1 pipe to the inlet from the water supply, 2 to the inlet directly to the filter, and 3 from the filter already there is pure water in the tap), a locking mechanism is installed in the tap itself, when you close the tap, the water supply on 1 tube is closed. The point is that the system without a tank, when the valve is closed, is not under pressure. Only 4 faucets (with 3 pipes) can be connected to a system without a tank, as I understand, if you try to connect another faucet (for example, with 1 pipe with an outlet from the filter), and plug other pipes directly into the filter, then the water will constantly drain into the drain, even if your tap is closed. Hence, the following problem appears, you cannot change the valve to another, you cannot connect the system without a tank to a regular valve, on which a filter valve is additionally installed !!!!!!!!!!! In a system with a tank, the connection is different, and there you can easily replace the tap with another, as well as connect the filter to a stationary special tap, which has an inlet for filtered water. A system without a tank can be converted to a system with a tank (pressurized), but you need to buy a tank and additional equipment. After that it will be possible to install any crane.

Advantages: Price-quality ratio. Filters water perfectly. Easy to install - set it yourself. Nice and detailed glossy color instruction :))

Disadvantages: 1. A domestic manufacturer cannot live without jokes :) The ball valve will flow from the screw-in place, so you need a LOT of fum tape. And it's not a fact that the first time it will turn out right. I had to twist it three times. 2. The volume of the storage tank is 3.8 liters is misleading. In fact, a USEFUL volume there is 1.5 - 2 liters. This should be indicated immediately. If I knew, I would take a bigger tank.

Comment: A good week, but apart from the two described shortcomings, I see no problems. An excellent unit, competently made, forgot about scale, the water is delicious. What else is needed for complete happiness :)

Advantages: I liked the build quality, didn't expect it. Everything is on the level, there is no hack.

Disadvantages: 3.8 l tank. gives me exactly 1 liter of accumulated water, no more.The cold water ball valve does not fit against the metal sleeve that is screwed into the cold water pipe. There is no padding and no snug fit. I had to tinker, shaman with scotch tape, wind on thread. Stock up on fum tape.

Comment: In terms of price and quality, it is definitely an offset. I haven't tasted the water yet, but almost everything was done normally. Tips: 1) Have a fum tape in stock, it will come in handy in one joint. The rest is all right. 2) The 3L tank included in the kit is small, read the recommendations of the experienced tank volume. It makes no sense to take without a tank, a stream of water is thinner than a match. I'm pleased with the purchase. I wish everyone to drink clean water! Added after 10 months: apparently, due to insufficient prefiltration, the membrane failed. The water tastes far from as tasty as it was in the first month (from memory the good taste lasted for a maximum of two months). I bought a filter mainly for an ultrasound humidifier, and so the white bloom just goes off scale - on the basis of which I draw a conclusion about a membrane malfunction. I ordered a TDS meter to measure salts in water, it will show exactly. I am looking for where to buy pretreatment stages.

Advantages: Best value for money

Disadvantages: A crack has formed in the body of one of the filters, apparently due to summer pressure tests in the city water supply system. It's good that I didn't flood the neighbors - a little dripped!

Comment: I use this filter in my dacha, in my apartment and my children. For 3 years I have never changed cartridges. Even in the country, from a muddy well, the TDS-meter shows 20 units. - that is, drinking water. And without a filter, more than 400 units. For the winter, of course, you have to shoot so that it doesn't burst.

Advantages: a high-quality filter, I did not find any flaws in the filter itself, everything is clear: water quality (the tds meter showed about 10 units against 200 units in the source water, I do not use a mineralizing cartridge after the membrane); It works normally without a tank and a pump, just turn on and put the container for filling, it does not bother.

Disadvantages: - I can't buy replacement cartridges for a year, do they exist at all ???

Comment:

Advantages: Forgot what scale is. Taste qualities have improved significantly. The filter is assembled easily and with clear instructions. A worthy acquisition, the value of which is felt on your own health.

Disadvantages: Water is slowly poured without a pressure boosting pump and a storage tank, which is done to reduce the price.

Comment: For a long time I chose which filter to buy, settled on this model and was very pleased with my choice, because due to bad water I started to have allergies and persistent dry skin.
