The tide is high, but you don’t want to drink from the tide without filtering it.

Okay, I seriously considered buying one of these awhile back from one of the other DAD sites (bensoutlet I think). I've been looking at long-term sink filters for awhile - know nothing about this though.

Anybody have input?

No longer fits today's faucets so I am out.

1/2 gallon per minute flow is kinda slow. Decent under-the-sink filters will give you as good or better filtration with 2-3 times the flow. They require a little installation but nothing a basic "do-it-yourselfer" can't handle.

@jhaywire: "parasitic cysts"? Really? ;->

I have a similar system although mine, I think, says it needs a new filter yearly. (Or something like that -- I'd have to go back and read the directions) The thing is it does take up a certain amount of room and it is a little bit tippy. It is certainly better than the Pur that it replaced but it is not the permanent solution for me.

Nothing against the product but I've stopped buying from 1 sale a day. Always takes forever to get your product. Currently waiting on a comforter I bought a month ago, Really? a month to ship? Even contacted them, said it will be here in 1-20 days. Really? Thanks!

@jhaywire: Thought you were overstating it, until I did the math. 15 sec/pt, 8 sec to fill a /baking/ cup - most of my glasses will take 12 sec to fill. That's slow!

@jhaywire: I certainly appreciate your post.

It seems what we're losing in speed, we make up in having no filter replacements. Assuming each filter replacement does last 6 months for your alternative option, you're looking at an additional $570 over ten years.

You choose, Wooters!

@joemarfice: First World problems. If you don't have 12 seconds to wait for a glass of filtered water, you may have some other more serious issues you need to investigate first.

@caisburning: I hate when people call "first world problems," as if to guilt someone for caring about something.

The point is not that "OMG I HAVE NO TIME FILL MY GLASS FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTER!!!!" The point is that alternatives, which hardly cost any more at all, do a better job of filtering AND fill your glass faster.

How is that worthy of scorn?

ps you saying "first world problems" while using a computer to comment on a coupon site on the internet is hilarious. I hope you see it too.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
