We had friends that were missionaries and they took this purifier through lab testing of just about every kind of water they could find. They tested filter after filter, purifier after purifier and this is the only one that would actually clean up swamp water so it could be great drinking water. We have had ours for years and am now looking at getting a whole house unit. Its the best, no kidding and we are not "sales" people, just mom and dad!

My wife and I are retired and do a lot of traveling via 5th wheel which brings us to several locations with substandard water which requires buying bottled. A frind of mine that we met in South Texas recommended this system to me. Kinda expensive but so is buying gallons of water not the mention the inconvience. Actually this friend of mine sold the units and gave me two months to try it out and did not like, would refund my complete cost plus he would remove it from my RV. Well, after one week, was sold. Now I have a unit both in my RV and home kitchen sink. Again, kinda expensive, around $400 but well worth it.

After investigating all available water purifying systems, we purchased a Seagull IV in the late 1980s. The quality of this unit is first rate; it has held up wonderfully through all these years; we even took it with us when we moved. We have replaced the filter, faucet, hoses and gaskets over time, but the stainless steel unit is bullet-proof. We use this for our drinking, cooking, and pet water. News articles about contaminated water tables, supplies, etc., are a concern, of course, but we know that none of those chemicals are making their way into our bodies through our kitchen tap. While this unit is expensive, isn't the health of your family and pets worth it? We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this unit; you will never regret its purchase.

I first discovered the Seagull line a decade ago when equipping a boat, have since had units in two houses as well, just ordering my fourth. I once bought a Sears unit - just a carbon block type - but the snap-on plastic hose connections scared me and I gave it away. The Seagull unit is physically solid, well engineered and the connection hoses and fittings won a complement from my plumber. The water is delicious even in the summer when we sometimes have musty smells from algae. It makes great coffee and is still good when I change the filter unit a year later. More than a filter - read the specs - and probably overkill for a house with municipal water, but still vastly cheaper than bottled water.
