This fountain is what is best in water filtration material. Certainly it is made in China but there considering the very low water quality team it many homes. In Africa it equips humanitarian missions. We must change the filter every 9 months and ceramics about every 2 years, but it is very economical and environmentally friendly. No more water bottles. One does not hesitate to use this very pure and mineralized water for cooking. It can give babies without hesitation. In this case I recommend the use of mineral tray that rests in the lower tank. The only inconvenience is the tedious cleaning. We must put cold water containing 33% of white vinegar into the tank and allow to filter in the sink. Then everything must be clean with very clean hands with warm water without detergent with a absolutely new sponge does not dry the inside and wipe the outside with a clean cloth. This must be done once a month at least. I do not understand the comments of other buyers. This is an excellent product.
