Dangerous
After six weeks of use for two people (who travel often for work and aren't home) this turned the water so acidic that I had to see the dentist to figure out what was going on and why my gums were hurting. We noticed a lemony taste in the water around last weekend, and thought we were imagining it, or the pitcher was dirty. After cleaning it, it was still there. So I did some research, and found that this is a known issue. What I didn't know, was that the way this filter works is to use acid to neutralize what's in your tap water. So, I bought a PH meter, and decided to test it out: Tap water: 7.4 Tap water through a new filter: 7.4 Tap water through the filter that was six weeks old with light use: .91 Yes, .91. Using a PH chart, you'll see that .91 is in the lemon juice to battery acid range. So, once your filter is past its life, you're drinking highly acidic water, well below that of Coke (2.5). We've all seen the videos of what soda does to enamel. How can this be sold without a warning label?
