The Alexapure water filter is an excellent option for emergency preparedness situations. It can store a significant volume of water while being easy to maintain; unfortunately it clogs frequently.
It does this because it uses a filter that must be primed, as well as having a plastic spigot instead of stainless steel.
Efficient
The Alexapure Pro water filter is highly efficient and effective at filtering out most common contaminants like bacteria and heavy metals from drinking water, chlorine, herbicides and pharmaceutical drugs – however you should always verify its performance using a lab test kit before making your decision to purchase or use.
Some users complain that gravity-fed filters clog easily, yet another complaint is the high price of replacement filters – this can add up over time as people consume an average of 182.5 gallons annually!
One feature that sets the Alexapure apart from other Berkey systems is its matte stainless steel finish, which reduces fingerprints while giving it a modern aesthetic. BPA-free and featuring a sturdy yet lightweight stainless steel spigot for convenient water collection from nearby streams or lakes, making this system great for emergency kits or camping trips alike. Finally, its portable tote makes carrying it around easy – perfect for emergency kits and camping trips alike!
Portable
The Alexapure Pro water filtration system can be used in emergency situations or for daily use, filtering any freshwater source including city, well or lake water, stream and lake water as well as directly from streams/lakes. Easy to maintain with high quality stainless steel construction for ease of transportability it makes an excellent camping companion!
Filters should be regularly replaced to avoid mineral build-up in the Alexapure Pro unit, and can be cleaned by rinsing with fresh, clean water before being reused again. In addition, ensure to replace wing nuts and washers periodically.
Alexapure filters can be costly to replace and slow to filter water; taking approximately an hour to process a gallon. While this is significant, extra filters may help expedite the process and help make Alexapure work faster than Big Berkeys.
Easy to maintain
The Alexapure water filter is both simple to maintain and efficient. With durable stainless steel housings and spigot, unlike plastic versions of similar devices, cleaning this unit is simple – dusting off is done before rinsing with clean water, while its internal hybrid ceramic filters need to be rinsed regularly in order to remove mineral build-up.
Assemble and clean the filters by taking careful steps when taking them out from their upper chamber and scrubbng with a scouring pad and clean water (without soap) from time to time, or when flow rate decreases significantly. When it’s time for change, change is advised as soon as flow rate does decrease significantly. For long term storage of Alexapure water filters it is advisable to air dry them before rehydrating in an alcohol/water solution as this will extend their lifespan while helping prevent any rusting; just remember not put in saltwater as this could ruin them forever!
Cost-effective
Alexapure filters provide superior drinking water at a much more reasonable long-term cost than their Berkey counterparts, making them a suitable solution for anyone wanting high quality drinking water. These lightweight yet efficient systems can remove fluoride as well as maintaining the alkalinity levels more effectively than competing filters.
Like all filtration systems, Alexapure does have some drawbacks. For instance, its black filters can clog easily and may require replacing more frequently than other brands; also due to rubber components used inside, this unit may give off a distinctive rubber taste.
Alexapure does not provide a stainless steel model, which may be problematic for people who like their kitchen looking tidy. While plastic models show fingerprints and smudges less clearly than stainless steel ones, its transparent design lets you keep an eye on water levels so as to prevent overfilling the filter.
