Oh I know. With how expensive rent is we got a 2 bedroom townhouse apartment. We gave the kids the bedrooms and we took the dining room. But that means no closets or storage nooks for anything. So it’s hard to keep everything organized. The crazy part is that we pay $1800 a month to live like this.
So, this has an ice maker, and it recycles the melted ice back into the drinking water. That makes it taste like melted ice which is less than ideal, but I’ve decided that the next time I put a jug on there I’m leaving the ice maker off. Other than that it has a pretty good taste. I paid extra to get one that is supposedly made from actual “food grade components” hopefully that actually means something.
But yeah before the melted ice is injected back in the water has a great taste.
Birmingham, Alabama. Our water is pretty good quality I think. I like the taste of it, but I am intensely lazy. So, now I don’t even have to go to the kitchen for cold water.
I went through 5 gallons in a week. I have a place down the street that has a Primo refill station. I think it’s $.50 to refill a jug. I just got this so I haven’t refilled them yet.
But the Brittas are nice. I had a zero like 2 gallon container, but my kids kept emptying it and not refilling it. So, that’s another reason I got this. It has really been nice for the whole family, but mainly me because I’m actively cutting out sodas.
It was $270 because it’s restaurant grade. This baby can produce almost 30 lbs of ice in a 24hr period. It does cold and hot water. So, you can have tea or instant coffee on demand if that’s your thing. It’s not my thing so I leave the hot water function turned off.
But, the problem with bottles is that I can’t grab a cold bottle of water without getting out of bed. I can literally sit on the edge of my bed, and pour a nice cold cup of water.
Modern life is all about conveniences. Before this I had gotten in the habit of getting a big cup of ice and pulling sodas from the 12 pack in my bedroom. I needed water access that was more convenient than that. Hence I bought a water source for the bedroom.
