Costumer Reviews

I purchased this Crystal Quest bottleless water cooler w/UV system for our CPA office and it's been a royal pain from day 1...We had to pay 2 different plumbers to come to the office to professionally install it due to leaks and both commented on the poor quality of the connectors...We also purchased the Smart Valve to protect against potential leaks and it was so loud that we had to uninstall it...Crystal Quest said that can happen due to vibration and although it was loud, there was nothing wrong with its functionality...They did, however, issue us an RMA to return it for a refund...Approx 6-9 months after purchase, the cooler began to leak yet again...We spoke with Crystal Quest once again and they felt confident that it was the filters this time and our problem would go away once we changed them...They gave us 2 filters and charged us for the other 2...We installed the new filters and the leaks were worse than ever...So after $726 on the unit, $200+ for installation, $86 in new filters and numerous hours on the phone with Crystal Quest, we still have a useless, leaking cooler which we are literally ready to hall to the trash as Crystal Quest says that we are now outside of the warranty period...You would think a company would stand behind its products a bit more!

We have this water filter in our office. What a difference it makes! No more smelly bad tasting coffee for us. I don't know about installation, we had a certified plumber install it - he came one day and the unit was there by lunchtime. It is up and running for over a year, and everyone's already forgotten that we used to have smelly water or buy water bottles. Whoever invented this machine is a genius! I am thinking of getting a smaller counter model for my house.
