My Patriot Supply AlexaPure Water Filtration Review

About the My Patriot Supply Alexapure Pro Water Filtration System

The Alexapure Pro is My Patriot Supply’s most powerful gravity-powered water filtration system. It is designed to provide safe, clean drinking water by removing a broad spectrum of contaminants while preserving essential trace minerals. The system is designed to reduce more than 200 contaminants, and specifically targets heavy metals, lead, fluoride, chlorine, vinylchloride, viruses, bacteria, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. It stands out for its durable yet lightweight construction, its impressive water storage capacity, and its extremely reasonable price tag, among other things.

How the Alexapure Pro Water Filter Works: Instructions for AlexaPure Pro Water Filtration System

The Alexapure Pro employs a proprietary, two-stage, gravity-fed filtration process that reduces harmful bacteria, chemicals and other contaminants while preserving essential trace minerals naturally found in water.

This is possible thanks to the unique structure of the unit, which features: 

• An activated carbon block core that uses zeolite ion adsorption technology to reduce herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, VOCs and other inorganic compounds.
• A silver ion-containing ceramic outer shell, which gives the filter anti-microbiological properties and self-sterilizing abilities, helping to inhibit the growth of mold and algae.
  

To use the system, you simply pour unfiltered water into the top chamber of the unit, and gravity will cause it to flow through the filter elements. The ceramic pre-filter will remove larger particles and pathogens in the first stage, and the carbon block filter will eliminate chemicals, heavy metals and other contaminants in the second stage. The filtered water is then collected in the lower chamber, ready for drinking.

It’s an incredibly simple, user-friendly process that leaves you with clean, safe drinking water for your household.

Ease of Use

The Alexapure Pro Water Filtration system offers straightforward setup and operation, and comes with detailed instructions for installation and maintenance, ensuring that users can get the most out of their filter.

To set up the system, you simply unbox the unit and components, assemble the filter elements and install them in the upper chamber. From there, you just fill the upper chamber with unfiltered water and allow the water to filter through to the lower chamber, which can then be accessed via the spigot.

Once assembled, using the system is as simple as pouring water into the top chamber and collecting filtered water from the bottom.

It should also be noted that the filtration operates without electricity, so it’s a great fit for those who live in rural areas or areas prone to power outages.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Alexapure Pro Water Filtration System

Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential to ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the Alexapure Pro Water Filtration system. Luckily, the system is extremely easy to clean. Here’s a look at what’s recommended in order to preserve the integrity of your unit:

Cleaning the Chambers

Prior to your first use, you’ll want to rinse the interior of each chamber with cool, clean water. After that initial cleaning, you’ll simply need to dust the exterior of each stainless steel chamber with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Filters

Since minerals in the untreated water can collect along the hybrid ceramic shell protecting your filter, you may want to clean the filter’s exterior (although it should be noted that this does not impact the filtration process or the water quality).

To get rid of this mineral buildup, you’ll want to scrub the filter’s exterior with a scour pad and clean water—without soap—then rinse thoroughly and replace in the upper chamber.

Changing the Filters

The frequency with which you’ll need to replace the filter in your system will depend on how often you use it. A good rule of thumb: When you notice a drastic change in the flow rate of your water, it’s time to replace the filter. Changing your filter regularly is the best way to ensure that your system’s performance is maximized.

Alexapure Pro vs. the Competition

Here’s a look at how the Alexapure Pro Water Filtration system stacks up against another popular pick on the market:

My Patriot Supply Alexapure vs. Berkey

Two major players in the water filtration space, both Alexapure and Berkey sell gravity-fed systems capable of removing more than 200 contaminants commonly found in water. Both units feature a classic stainless steel construction, both have a 2.25 gallon reservoir capacity, and both are extremely easy to clean and maintain. With both brands, you have your pick of products—both offer a variety of bundles, which combine the water filtration system with add-ons like extra elements and filters. There are a few differences between these two units, though. Here are some of them:

• The Alexapure Pro has a better flow rate—the unit provides a seven gallons per hour flow rate (using the maximum number of filters); the Big Berkey (with the full four filter elements) provides a seven gallons per hour flow rate.
• The Alexapure Pro tends to be less expensive than the Big Berkey, Berkey’s comparable model. 
• Alexapure’s replacement filters are typically more expensive than the Berkey filters however, they tend to require less frequent replacing.
