Hi, I never hear of Mavea (seems Brita and Pur dominate). Do you feel Mavea will stay in business long enough to get years of usage? Thanks

In my opinion yes. Both brita and pur's quality has dropped significantly in the years since they first came out and mavea has surpassed their quality even by the original standard. They are made in germany with bpa free plastic so you know the quality is fantastic.

Did you try "authentic-skincare.com". I just read about the product, decided I wanted to try it and ordered it from Amazon. I'm still on my first pump and love it so far. I plan to reorder.

Well... there is a lot of information readily available on line regarding these filters. Everyone has their own level of "skeptic-ity" that they must deal with and mine is on the high side by nature. I have been using Berkeys for more than ten years now and remain a big fan of these filters. I have three of them sitting in my kitchen at this moment and use them everyday - between humans and animals, they are in constant use. In the Y2K non-event, I bought these for my employees, family, and self. As my kids aged and moved on to their own homes, I bought Berkey units for them, too. I think that I have probably purchased 20 of these things over the past 13 years for friends and family. I know of no other similar system that is as effective or economical - with a decades long track record. Period. My units all have the charcoal and PF-2 filters. To surpass the performance of these devices one would need to go to some distillation apparatus or complicated reverse osmosis systems. Some good links found in a brief search: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sFfLbeXDav8 http://www.nourishingtreasures.com/index.php/2012/10/10/does-the-big-berkey-water-filter-really-work-i-take-out-my-microscope-and-find-out-review-and-giveaway/ http://www.cookinggodsway.com/big-berkey-water-filter-system-review/#sthash.onPULfR7.dpbs http://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/berkey/ http://www.consciouswater.ca/berkey-water-filter-test-results/ Anyway, I remain a big supporter of these filter systems. I have no financial interest in any of these systems and have purchased most of them off of Amazon. I am an MD - Ophthalmology and Alternative Medicine. Good luck in your search for better water! Whether you buy a Berkey or some other brand is your choice - but, do SOMETHING to obtain good water!

ull run out of the di media quicker, plus it wont be that effective. I ran into that problem. I got a 1.5 gpm electric pressure washer and it seems to last longer. and NOW its spotfree.

Hello Hames, I bouoght a bottle of these a few months ago, I posted a review. As far as I know the company isstill up and running. I liked them and what I've read about them, they're a quality product. I hope this helps you.

I was only using for a month. Never reordered second bottle although I'm almost empty and need to decide soon. Like I said, I don't think it's one of their best products but it helped a little, months time, no miraculous results but some probably noticeable to you or others close to you. I used on my tummy section.

I love the Vivite product. MD Cosmetics used to carry this brand until customers started buying it online.

I only know of Brita, (I have a brita now), and Pur. Both of these are plastic.

It is renata, which I also like, but it sure didn't help the performance... I so happy I spent the money and upgraded to a Vitamix... Good luck, R

Yes. Can't clean this one either. I quit buying Brita after this one they know what they are doing making everything one piece so u can't clean it. Pathetic sales tactic. Pathetic

Not much difference in the two. Both use a carbon type filter. Brita is made by the Swiss and Mavea is made by the Germans - both known for good products and engineers. Mavea is the newer product for the States, I think.

I like this product. I am not a chemist, so I don't know how I could attest to the purity. Apparently, from your comment, you have some way to ascertain purity? If so, why ask? I had merely heard that OptiMSM is a good product, and I have heard that this is a good company. You are on your own from there.

Hi Molly. I've been using Renpure for about 6 months and I love it. Yes the cost is a bit high but a little goes a long way. I've introduced the product to my daughters and they have started using it. I don't know of a comparison product other than maybe " Wen" that sells on tv but you have to do a auto-ship with them I think and it costs more.

I have had no luck with brita or pur OR customer service of Moen.Really disappointed, I'm on a well and need a filter.If you find something please let me know.I've been to hardware store and had no luck there either.

I am a (my wife) consumer of this product. I am not selling it however my wife says it is excellent! She also uses La Mer and you should know how expensive that is!!

Hi Lynna,I never heard of of PetVi but I will look into it. Are the ingredients comparable? I would never switch though since we have gotten such good results with Missing Link.

I believe it is - the only problem I encountered was an issue with the pump. I'd be interested in knowing what organic product the responder switched to (see July 1 response below) as the Skin Medica product is pretty expensive (even on Amazon) and because of the packaging you can't tell when you're about to run out.
