User Reviews
This is an excellent filter pitcher. I am real happy that I bought this brand. -- Excellent Filter Pitcher
I got one of these filter-pitchers, and haven't noticed any significant ongoing problems with it, although I've had it for only a couple of weeks. At first, when the water flowed fairly freely through the filter, the water left my mouth feeling dry, but now the water flows more slowly, and I no longer notice this effect. I assume that the consumer mag that gave it a "best buy" rating had the filtering capabilities analyzed by a lab, and concluded that it functions as advertised.
I've had a Brita filter pitcher for quite a while, and found it to be adequate for filtering municipal water. But now, my source is well water, and I'm concerned about iron, which the Brita supposedly doesn't reduce. But I still use the Brita as a first stage.
When I'm in the process of filtering water with the Crystal Quest pitcher, I put the filter-portion of the pitcher up on top of the pitcher cross-ways to allow the water level in the pitcher to rise as high as possible before interfering with the water-flow through the filter. Before the water level rises to the point where it touches the bottom of the filter, I pour the filtered water into a storage container. Hopefully I'll get a Nobel for this discovery. -- No significant problems
The NSF doesn't list Crystal Quest at all, and in CQ's website, they misleadingly mention NSF, in that they only use NSF "certified PARTS", but their filtered water is *NOT* NSF certified.
I think this can explain the extremely poor customer service, and lack of any reputable merchants selling their items. The reason they are here in Amazon is that they have opened an account as a merchant here. It does not automatically get them Amazon's repute to sell only viable products. I researched a whole day when their tall claims seemed too much to digest. All those giving positive reviews, did you just read the tall claims or have you actually tested the water ??
All in all, I think I will buy one of these units to give my humidifiers and steam irons and what nots cheaper filtered water than what I drink ;) -- No NSF certification
After reviewing all related products, this Quest pitcher is a real bargain because it filters much more than any of the competition. After giving this item a great review, it will probably increase in price.lol -- Great buy
Ok. This is really an awful product and manufacturer. First- it uses deceptive description. It says 2.5L capacity but customer can't really use that much capacity because of filter assembly. It should describe usable capacity.
Second - Water filtered overnight by this pitcher has "white residue".
Let's do a mini experiment here to see-
1. Take a glass of water in the night and rotate alum rock couple of times into it .
2. Fill the filter pitcher.
3. Leave both of them overnight.
4. In the morning, shake both pitcher & the glass. You will see similar white residue into both pitcher & glass.
5. Bottomline - instead of buying this, use alum rock yourselves and save money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alum
I have sent the product back today. Hope they would return my money promptly. -- AWFUL-Stay Away
