Ovopur Water Dispenser or a Happy Michelin Man? You Decide

The Ovopur water dispenser is an environmentally friendly water filtration system. Rather than use electricity to filter the water, it uses gravity. I downloaded the brochure (13 page pdf file) and spent a bit of time reading over this eggcellent filtration system. I confess though that the brochure uses some terms that may be a bit difficult to decipher, so I thought I’d help you out. Here are some quotes from the Ovopur brochure [with my translations in brackets]:

Environmentally friendly to the core, the OVOPUR© unit doesn’t consume any electricity, using gravity instead to filter and revitalize [filter I get, but revitalize? Isn't that what women do to their hair?] tapwater. Obtain crystal clear water in four easy steps:

a) Use a jug or OVOTAP© to fill the 4 liter [about 1 gallon] upper filtration reservoir [the small egg on top] and start the filtration process [water runs through carbon, copper, zinc and other stuff that filters out the gunk].

b) Water trickles [drips] from the filtration reservoir [again, small egg on top] into the main reservoir [large egg on bottom] via the AQUACRISTAL© filter cartridge [carbon, copper, zinc and so on].

c) The main reservoir [big egg] can hold up to 11 liters [about 3 gallons] of pure, fresh water, with the water level indicated by the magnetic gauge*

d) Simply activate [pull] the handle and drink!

With its multipurpose lid, the OVOPUR© unit can be used every day in filtration mode** [small egg left on top], or in distribution mode*** [small egg removed to make lugging the big egg around a bit easier] for special occasions.

One Ovopur–$550.

Two replacement filters–$100.

Knowing that your water will travel from the filtration reservoir to the main reservoir where you can simply activate the handle and drink–priceless.
