We've been using the 7 Stage Countertop Water Purification System for years and love it! It's great for those of you who live in an apartment or move frequently, because it's mobile holds a substantial amount of water. Once we decide to buy a house, we plan on investing in a Reverse Osmosis Water Purification System, but until then, we are extremely happy with the 7 Stage Countertop. 

It's easy to use. Simply fill up a pot of water from the sink and pour it into the top portion of the filter. Water trickles down through the 7 layers of filters and ends up in the bottom portion for you to use anytime. The system holds 14 liters of water. Everything is very easy to clean and filters can be replaced as often as needed. We tend to replace our filters about every 6-9 months with two of us drinking about a gallon and a half total a day.

This container is also great for parties. You can filter the water through the top and remove the middle filter part for a clean look. Either leave the top open or place the lid on the bottom portion. I personally love to add some fresh flavor with mint, lemon, strawberries, oranges, cucumbers, or whatever combination of fruits and vegetables you like. Friends and family are always impressed and appreciative of a beautiful display of flavorful water!
