swapping out the mineral cartridge every five years, which a subscription program delivers when it's time.

That's funny - a subscription program for cartridges that are swapped out every 5 years, when the whole system is rated to last 10 years... so you're "subscribing" to 1 replacement set of cartridges to arrive 5 years after installation?

This seems great if it works as advertised, though. It's expensive, as the article notes, but it could be huge for areas where other clean water options just aren't viable.

Great point, and I'm sure the cartridge isn't very complicated to switch out - might just need to see the manual... although I'm not familiar with this thing, so I don't know. Is the subscription program for changing out the filters halfway through the product's expected life cycle a part of the company selling the water filter?
