We have the Osmio Zero and is great. The softner is installed at the point of entry which helps.
My daughter lives in a rented property in London and is unlikely to stay there for long. She isn’t DIY friendly and is a doctor at NHS. She wants to get the OZ - the counter-top version.
I spoke to OZ. They were as usual very friendly and isn’t pushing me to buy this for her flat, given the hardness level, which is between 225 and 300. They acknowledged some customers in London are reporting frequent blockage resulting in swapping filters every month to 3 or 6 months. I believe this may be even with their hard-water filter. They also said the density of population does impact.
Their recommendation is either fusion or be prepared to descale every month with a hope that it would prevent very frequent filter change.
The fusion isn’t going to cut with her as it is a pain messing with a rented property that she can’t.
I am wondering what the members’ experience has been in using the OZ counter-top version in London (with hard-water filter, which is a standard on all their new systems) or any other RO water filter?
This is mostly for drinking, coffee, tea perhaps some cooking.
Thanks for help.
