Anyway, our old one had been giving us trouble lately. The part that connects to the faucet suddenly started leaking something fierce and in recent days began spraying all over the place when I tried to use it. Dakota tried to tighten it but to no avail. A new one was definitely needed.

When we got the store we noticed a new kind and I was so intrigued. It has flavor cartridges that you can add to flavor your water. What a great idea! I love raspberry flavored water but the cost is hard to justify so this seems like a doable solution. I hemmed and hawed over the cost (about $10 more for the unit plus the cartridges are $10 for two) but then Dakota said those magic words "You know you want to try it!" She was right - I did!

It is so much fun!! You can have either plain, unflavored filter water or, with the mere push of a button, have raspberry flavored filtered water! What an ingenious idea!!
So far, I am really enjoying it. :)
