Mineral water on tap - what's not to love?
I was an original backer for the Skuma filtration system when it was in its development stage, so have been using mine for well over a year now. Love the sleek design, which is totally portable so can be popped on any counter top. Very easy to set up and maintain - just need to refill the water tank and empty the waste tank on a regular basis, which is no bother. Beautiful quality packaging, in particular the infusion bottles. Stunning design. In the early days there were teething issues with the waste water tank, which stopped filling after a while. This happened a few times, however Skuma immediately sorted the issue with a replacement unit, and I believe the fault was addressed in the Gen 2 system. I see a descaling kit is now available to purchase on their website, so regular maintenance should help keep the unit in good working order. I used to get headaches drinking tap water, but now I feel totally hydrated and the taste of the water is so pure. It's a pleasure offering guests mineral water at the touch of a button - we took a jug of water to the builders across the road on (one of our very few) hot days, and they noticed the difference. They clearly have discerning taste! I do feel the one area that can be improved with Skuma is their customer service response times. I've always found staff to be extremely helpful and courteous, but it can sometimes take a while to move an enquiry forward when waiting for email responses. I appreciate this can take time with a growing startup, but it's the reason I can only give 4 stars, as there's definitely room for improvement in this area. The Skuma system is certainly a game changer. The clever design instantly filters tap water, so no waiting around for the 'drip-drip' method. Yes, it's a somewhat noisy process, but it's rapid. Highly recommend purchasing the Skuma system. They're an honest, forward thinking company, so you can buy with confidence.
