this device will make sure you and your
0:02
family are drinking clean healthy water
0:05
let's check it
0:12
out Dave Taylor here and I'm kind of
0:15
lucky I live in Colorado just off the
0:18
Rocky Mountains so most of our water
0:20
comes from glacial and snow runoff so
0:23
it's really pretty clean but a lot of
0:26
people don't have that benefit and it's
0:28
been an endless challenge throughout the
0:31
US and certainly the whole world to have
0:34
good clean safe drinking water and if
0:38
you can't have good drinking water
0:39
there's so much that ends up being a
0:42
challenge with your health the health of
0:44
your family the quality of the food you
0:46
make enter this this is the Ecco viiva
0:51
Ro o mate4 B2 UV reverse osmosis water
0:57
dispenser so what this does is is you
1:00
put tap water in the back and I'm going
1:02
to show all this stuff off in a second
1:04
you put tap water in the back and it
1:06
goes through a seven stage filtration
1:09
system using activated carbon which will
1:13
actually remove down to
1:16
01 micrometers and it's
1:20
99.99% efficient at getting all the bad
1:23
things out of water and it uses UV light
1:27
so between all of these different things
1:29
what it's going to do is it's going to
1:31
clean your water it's going to get all
1:34
the gunk out of it what does it remove
1:36
well it actually will show you the total
1:39
dissolved solid so it'll give you a
1:41
measure of your initial water quality
1:44
now you'll see mine is super low but if
1:47
you're living in a I don't know um an
1:50
old steel town that has had industrial
1:53
machines and factories and warehouses
1:56
for a hundred years your water might not
1:59
be so good so that TDS as they call it
2:02
is really important and what this is
2:04
going to remove is this will remove what
2:06
are known as forever chemicals that go
2:09
by the acronyms of
2:11
pfoa pfos and pfas it will also remove
2:16
heavy metals and chlorine so any weird
2:20
things that are in your water and
2:22
generally you can get from your county
2:25
or City's water quality office you can
2:27
get a report of what should be coming
2:30
out of your tap this will make it better
2:33
and healthier that's a huge win now it
2:37
also has a hot water heater I'll show
2:39
you that too where I'm going to ask it
2:41
to give me a mug you see over there
2:44
there's a mug I'm going to get a mug of
2:45
hot water and it's going to take less
2:48
than 10 seconds to start dispensing that
2:50
water at temperature so that's pretty
2:53
awesome so in fact you have four
2:55
temperature options and you have three
2:58
output volumes so you put a lot of water
3:00
in the back it is a 4.5 L capacity but
3:05
you actually put more water than that in
3:06
the back cuz it uses the water as it
3:09
goes there's an internal reservoir of
3:12
the clean water and so every time you
3:15
like um plug it in and initially put in
3:18
water takes about 5 minutes to do that
3:21
processing to get you that filtered
3:23
water that's ready to go inside but it's
3:26
super easy to work with here's where you
3:28
put in the filter and I know you're
3:30
immediately going to say hm how long
3:32
does a filter last the answer is about a
3:35
year and then when you have to get a new
3:37
one the current pricing for the filters
3:39
for this are about $79 or $80 and you
3:43
might think o that's kind of expensive
3:45
but if you think about buying bottled
3:49
water and that huge amount of waste that
3:51
you're generating something like this it
3:54
the numbers work out pretty darn nice
3:57
now another issue with reverse osmosis
4:00
is it can demineralize too much and
4:04
instead of having some minerals that you
4:05
really need in your water to help you
4:07
have a healthy lifestyle and life um
4:10
instead of having those all
4:13
gone it's going to take out as much as
4:16
it possibly can but then it's super easy
4:19
to remineralize you can use something as
4:21
simple as sea salt or Himalayan pink
4:23
salt and I have a little container of
4:25
that where literally just put in just a
4:28
couple of grains you won't even taste it
4:31
but what'll happen is it'll bring back
4:33
the good minerals and make that water
4:35
even better if you want to lower the ph
4:38
you can also put in a drop or two of
4:40
lemon or lime juice so you could have
4:42
that in your fridge and when you get a
4:44
big picture of beautiful clean fresh
4:47
healthy water just put in a pinch of
4:49
salt and a drop of lemon if that's even
4:52
something you're worried about most
4:54
people aren't even going to need to
4:55
notice that because there's so many
4:57
other sources that in so many other
4:59
foods and beverages you're consuming
5:02
you're probably getting plenty of
5:03
minerals anyway but enough talk let me
5:06
come in a little closer and let's walk
5:08
through some of its features cuz it's
5:10
pretty cool ready let's do this we're
5:13
ready to go and it's actually plugged in
5:15
and it's ready to start too the screen
5:18
turns off after 30 seconds to save power
5:21
so I'll touch anything and the screen
5:23
lights up and let's start with some
5:25
water so I push the lock button to
5:27
unlock it we'll choose how much liquid
5:30
and then we'll choose room
5:33
temperature and it's that easy to
5:36
dispense the middle amount this is 300
5:39
ml or 10 oz so there are three different
5:43
quantities you can choose from 150 ml is
5:47
5 oz 300 ml is 10 oz and 500 ml is 17
5:56
Oz and it does make a tiny bit of noise
6:00
but it's really negligible and once it
6:02
hits that
6:04
quantity then it should
6:07
stop and by the way so I talked to you
6:11
about the Himalayan salt this you're
6:14
probably wondering what this is this is
6:17
the wrench that comes with it that helps
6:19
it helps you easily remove the filter
6:22
when it comes time to change
6:24
filters so this is a 12 oz glass and
6:28
that's 10 oz of liquid and you can see
6:32
that is beautifully clear it is just a
6:34
lovely glass of water and I'm going to
6:36
have a drink off camera hang
6:42
on oh that's very good great now let's
6:46
do a hot cup so oh let me show you this
6:50
this is really neat so they have this
6:52
little drip thing and it's just a magnet
6:55
so it's super easy to have it stay on
6:57
and now we're going to put this on here
6:59
and again I'm going to unlock I'm going
7:02
to choose we'll choose a smaller
7:04
quantity and then I'll choose the
7:06
hottest possible temperature now watch
7:08
how long it takes for it to start
7:10
dispensing that hot
7:12
water and I'm not going to burn myself
7:15
but that is mighty hot and I can see
7:18
steam coming out that is hot enough that
7:20
if I had a tea bag in there I would be
7:22
ready to rock and roll my cup of tea in
7:26
less than 30 seconds total
7:31
and notice I didn't have to do anything
7:34
between these cycles and it's just doing
7:36
the right thing and you can see that its
7:39
TDs is down to
7:42
one total dissolved solid in the water
7:45
so I have really clean water and it's
7:48
even cleaner now and that's it so now I
7:50
have this cup of boiling water I'm not
7:53
going to try to drink it cuz it's too
7:55
darn
7:56
hot but that's how easy this is you can
8:00
see it's really easy to work with when
8:02
you first get it you have to go through
8:04
some cycles of it just sort of cleaning
8:06
out all of the greases and oils that
8:09
were used as part of the machine process
8:11
of assembly super easy took me about an
8:14
hour it you just fill it up let it cycle
8:16
fill it up let it cycle I did that six
8:19
or seven times I don't even remember how
8:21
many times I did it and then I was ready
8:23
to go and you can see that the proof is
8:26
in the glass now let's move this stuff
8:28
out of the way
8:29
so I can actually that's still hot in
8:33
that cup I'm going to pull this off and
8:37
then now you can
8:39
see it's pretty darn heavy but you can
8:43
see there's that water container in the
8:45
back and if I go even further around
8:48
there's marks on it so that's maximum
8:50
fill 3 l 2 L and minimum fill and here's
8:56
something that's really important when
8:58
it gets down to a certain level don't
9:01
just fill up again empty out the bottom
9:04
and then start with a new tank each time
9:07
and the reason for that is as it sits
9:09
sometimes sediment will come down to the
9:11
bottom so you just the goal is to have
9:14
the cleanest possible water so when you
9:17
are ready take the lid off and then this
9:20
has a little handle and it just comes
9:23
out and you can see it's really easy to
9:26
work with in fact it says discard the
9:29
water below the dotted line so I have
9:31
that much water so I can just put it
9:35
back and get a little more out of it if
9:38
I want to and that's all there is to it
9:40
and then this opens up and then the
9:42
filter is here I'm not going to take
9:44
that out but it's pretty straightforward
9:47
and this is something where your kids
9:49
are going to be perfectly safe using
9:52
this too because the panel automatically
9:55
locks when no one's using it so if you
9:58
have curious little fingers they're
9:59
going to have to know the right sequence
10:01
and they probably won't but you will
10:03
know to push and hold the unlock button
10:06
and then choose the quantity that you
10:08
want and then the temperature you want
10:11
and it's that easy so let me turn it
10:13
back
10:15
around so Dimensions wise while I'm
10:17
doing this and obviously having it full
10:19
of water adds a lot of weight but it's
10:22
15.5 in by 11 in by 16 in and it's 19.5
10:28
lbs empty so you fill this thing up with
10:31
water if the internal Reservoir also has
10:34
water I'm going to guess that's going to
10:35
add at least five more pounds but all of
10:39
that weight all of this is all going
10:41
towards you having beautiful clean clear
10:44
water and that
10:47
is a huge Boon and see I could do that
10:50
without even looking that's how great
10:51
that magnet is so really that's what I
10:55
wanted to share with you I am very
10:57
impressed with this I know my kids are
11:00
excited about having this in the family
11:02
so we can all really enjoy those big
11:05
glasses of beautifully clear water
11:07
because water is so essential to your
11:10
health
11:15
so there ain't nothing wrong with really
11:18
good clean Clear Water that's for sure
11:21
and the more your water is questionable
11:23
out of your tap the more something like
11:25
this is fantastic so that's what I got I
11:28
really really am very impressed with
11:31
this and this is definitely going to be
11:32
