Tools and Hardware Reviews of Tersano lotus LWT100 Water Treatment System
Customer Review: Poor Product
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the Tersano drinking unit a few years back. The first issue I had was that it was not working properly[unit would not dispense water] after 1 year and the company replaced the caraff.This issue happened again and they replaced the base part. The main issue was that the main unit would leak water and not work properly. The unit worked well for 1 year but fell apart after that. When I called customer service, they mentioned that I had to purchase a new unit. I did that and I had the same leaking issue from the base of the unit [there would be a puddle of water] and it would not dispense water from the base into the caraff.
Love the idea but do not believe in their quality since they moved their manufacturing of the product to China. If you buy this product it will work for a while but will stop wortking after a period of time. I would not recommend it to my family or anyone else fro that matter.Not a good investment.

I live in Louisiana in a town where our water smells like a swimming pool. I have been buying bottled water costing me approximately $8.00 per week. I'm trying to budget so I added that up and was shocked to see that I was spending around $420.00 per year on bottled water. I had been wanting to buy this system for a while and that was the realization that made me do it. This system is not cheap but it will pay for itself quickly if you buy and drink as much water as we do. I've used it for a few days now and the water is fabulous. There is no swimming pool smell to it and it taste better than the bottled water that I had been buying. Also I'm not adding to the waste in my local landfill by throwing away all of those bottles. I would recommend everyone that is buying bottled water on a weekly basis to buy this system it will save you money and your water will probably taste much better than the water you have been buying.Customer Review: Must be aware, gel-like particles suspended in the treated water
Summary: 1 Stars
Here is the test you should try (for anyone who have this unit): process a cup of tap water. It appears to be very clean after the processing. Now heat the "clean" water (e.g. using conventional microwave or kettle) and look into the cup, stunning large particles of gel-like flakes will appear in the cup (very obvious!). This happened to me on two separate units every time, I have tried to clean every part and pre-conditioned system more than ten times and the suspension substance just kept coming!
Secondly, the processing carafe is very easy to get dirty (in two weeks you will see stain marks on the inside of the carafe considering it processes tap water) but very difficult to clean(try to find a next-to-impossible-to-find special screw driver to open the base of the unit).
Not recommended to anyone who have young kids!

This is really a piece of garbage. Do NOT buy this.
When I tried to put it together I was shocked at how cheap the material was. The plastic seemed almost used and brittle. The top portion that goes over the filter to encase and draw out the water DID NOT FIT no matter what I tried. Short of jamming it on there and breaking it (Which I wasn't willing to risk) there was no way to even get the machine running. Even the packaging the product came in seemed used, as if they repackaged a used machine and box and thought the consumer was too stupid to notice.
For me, that alone was enough to return this with all possible haste. My vote is to NOT buy this machine as it is cheaply made and the instruction do not seem to cover anything beyond very basic assembly.
Customer Review: Think carefully

I was very excited when I saw this product on HGTV's "I Want That!". Who would not want better tasting super pure water? I ordered the unit and it arrived no problem. The unit itself is quite large and dwarfed everything else in my kitchen. Water processing easily and is very clean tasting. However the water made my tongue tingle and I developed a headache and a rash on my chest the very next day! As soon as I went back to my Brita I was fine.
This product could be great if you are looking to leave the expense and waste of bottle water behind. However, use the product as soon as you get it. If you have any problems do not hesitate to return it pronto. You'll either love it or hate it.
