Has anyone with an EcoloBlue 28 found that after about 2 weeks their water starts to taste strange? With my unit the water tastes amazing for the first 2 weeks than a strange Metallic-lemon taste starts to develop after about approx 12 gallons have been produced. I haven't had the unit long enough to know if the taste goes away.

Are you using a mineral filter? You can replace the post-carbon filter with a mineral filter, to add minerals to the water. The issue is that when the machine cycles to keep the water fresh - the "reflux" indicator - it is going to keep pumping minerals into the water because of the filter. As a result, these extra minerals are probably impacting your taste. I would recommend removing the mineral filter and replacing it with the standard post-carbon filter.

Excellent Info. How abut a Fluoride test?

[hvacseo]

Our test kit did not contain a Fluoride test. However, independent lab tests (organized by the manufacturer) indicate no presence of Fluoride.

Since we are starting with water vapor and the water is being processed through multiple filters including reverse osmosis, it is my opinion that there would be no Fluoride in the water dispensed. Next time we test again, we will include a test for Fluoride.

Water vapor doesn't get rid of Fluoride. FYI

I am planning to buy this but I just read a comment about water taste gets changed after few weeks. I do not want that. Can somebody address this?

@gminoza The type of flouride added to our water supply is not going to be found in natural water vapors.

Does anyone know when to change the R.O. filter, I changed my RO filter about a year ago and now I get very little water through the lines (I disconnected the line out of the RO canister) and my pump sounds like it is struggling.

Tim Perkins does not work for the company any longer. He has personal issues that he brought with him to work everyday. Thats the reason he was let go. Also, as for our product, he has a machine and Tim is still a current user and tried to contact us trying to get free filters. For someone that talks badly about our machine and products, he definitely is an ECOLOBLUE WATER DRINKER EVEN TIL THIS DAY!! YOU CANT DENY GREAT WATER!!!

FLUSH YOUR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM.

@mcoupe1140

-Pull out the bottom “store” tank and fill with water (city water or bottled)

-On the back of the machine, locate the “waste water discharge,” unscrew the cap and remove

the rubber plug.

-Place a drain container next to the “waste water discharge”

-Plug in the machine and turn the power On.

-FILL THE BOTTOM TANK 5 TIMES. All the waste water will be coming out of the waste water discharge so be sure that you have something to catch that and make sure you do not let it over flow

And what about Bisphenol A....and Arsenic ,& perhaps MTBE????

[issareign]

Hey HVACSEO, if you would like, as you seem articulate enough, i can give you his personal phone number so you can call him yourself and relay to us exactly what he has to say about the system. I believe he used to be their manager before quitting and filing a suit against them.

[issareign]

hey, i just want to let you guys know that i spoke to a fella named Tim Perkins, who used to world for ecolloblue. i called him out of the blue (no pun intended ;D) after receiving his phone number several months prior.... he told me that he no longer worked for ecollo blue, and that he was actually suing them, for what exactly? im not too sure. but it had something to do with dishonesty on their part. apparently this machine is made in china, and is of very cheap quality material.
