Nice Compromise
After much research I decided on this little machine as I didn't want to have a purifier plumbed in. There were several options performing a similar function for roughly the same price but I chose Osmio, it being located in Britain, as all the others seemed to be imports and I was concerned about any post purchase problems and sourcing replacement filters etc. I didn't realise it contained this odd remineralisation cartridge as standard. It immediately caused a severe facial rash so I got in touch for advice...which was to buy an empty cartridge to replace the problem one. Disappointing having just spent over £500 and I thought at least the postage would be refunded. It was not. After much toing and froing and returning both used and unused filters and receiving an empty one so as to be able to continue using the unit, eventually all was resolved. There is much disagreement about whether remineralisation of purified water is necessary and my feeling is that it should be down to the individual to choose and so I think that should be established at time of purchase and the appropriate filters supplied according to the customer's wishes, thus avoiding unnecessary expense, time and hassle. All that said thus far it works well and is a reasonable compromise when unable or not wishing to plumb in an RO purifier, although I feel the price is rather high, given that filters need replacing twice a year and that the advice states that the unit itself should be replaced after 5 years.
