I bought this water filter as I am living alone and not advisable to spend 10 thousands for me only, using filter since 6 months good water filter when compared to other basic filters, earlier I purchased a Aqua sure water filter and believe that was wastage of money used same for one only that didnt changes anything water.
But yes this filter changes taste not completely but partially, they have written not to clean filter but I would advise to do the same once a week(if we will not clean filter where all filtered impurities will go).
It filters large particles for sure but I am not sure whether it filters heavy metals or pesticides as I could not find same on manual.
