hi, i've got one, it's about 6 months old and i use it 1 day a week and never had a problem with it and it still looks brand new! It is very well made. I live in a hard water area so I use rain water instead of tap water, I have only used half a bag of resin. If you have any questions about it I will answer them the best I can or you can ring Graig at CT east/polarbrite he is very helpfull. I would recommend getting one if you have a low tds reading from your tap.Richard
