These two PiMag systems are excellent values when you compare their prices with the price of bottled water. While they do have higher up front costs (the units are expensive compared to the Aqua Pour) they only require one filter change every year. By year 5 a family of four will have saved more than the price of the system and replacement parts compared to a family of four buying bottled water. That does assume the two families are drinking the recommended amount of water daily.
Why Get a PiMag Deluxe Water System?
They offer a lot more convenience. They don’t have to be refilled regularly because they are connected to your water supply, so when you want water you just turn it on and there it is. With the Under Counter system you don’t even have to remember to use only cold water because it is plumbed in directly to your cold water line.
The PiMag Deluxe Counter Top Water Filter sits on your counter top and connects to your faucet with a hose and diverter valve. When you want clean, alkaline PiMag water all you have to do is turn on your cold water tap and pull the diverter value. Make sure that your glass is ready under the spout on the filtration unit.
The PiMag Deluxe Under Counter Water Filter goes under your sink and connects directly into your cold water line. It has its own beverage faucet that is installed in an available hole in your sink (or you may have to make a new hole like I did). When you want some alkaline PiMag water you just turn on the beverage faucet and there you go.
Both of these systems use the same replacement filter cartridge.
Installing the under counter system is a little more involved than for the other PiMag systems. It requires tapping into the cold water supply under your sink and installing the beverage faucet then connecting everything together with some hoses. Everything that you need comes with the system and you probably already have any tools that you need. Some people may want to hire a plumber to do the job, but it is easy and I was able to do it myself. The hardest part for me was punching a new hole in my sink because I didn’t have one available.
The PiMag Deluxe water filters are certified by the NSF and their documents are available on the NSF website here.
