"I've known about the benefits of Seychelle water filters for some time and already have 2 of the water bottles, but it wasn't until I moved from New Zealand to Hong Kong, and grew suspicious of the quality of the water that I invested in the bench top filter. Although the water is apparently ok, the pipes in the building are old and leave a lot of residue inside the plumbing. The benchtop filter was extremely easy to install and we had it running within 5 minutes. I now have peace of mind that my water is free of bacteria and contaminants whether it be from the water or the pipes, and our water tastes that much better."
