Brio Moderna Reverse Osmosis Bottleless Water Cooler Dispenser - Self-Cleaning, Dispenses Hot and Cold Water, TDS Meter, Child Safety Lock, Digital Display and LED Light

May bueno

This unit could have gotten a higher rating had the instructions been at least proof read and more complete. I suspect they could only have been written be an Ivy League graduate. Both the quick set up sticker and page 11 of manual incorrectly explains how to set the hot and cold temperatures. The correct information is on page 5. There also is no explanation on how to use the push in and release quick connections. I’m familiar with shark bite connectors but us country bumpkins never saw these plastic ones before. My hook up was not standard under the sink and I needed to adjust tubing length, including buying longer lengths, the so called trial and revise method. A comment or picture in the manual would have been helpful. Also be advised that the flush cap does not fit the RO filter so I got the hint that that one doesn’t need flushing. The manual does not tell you this.Also missing from the instructions is that the safety lock is on all the time. I could not find how to turn it off. To get hot water, one has to hit the lock button and immediately hit the hot water button. Not sure how long the lock is inactive but it’s not long. . The “hot” operation is kinda implied on page five but perhaps the writer cold have explained it a bit better.Whatever you set the hot and cold temps to be you won’t get that out of the spout until you flush some out first I measured the hot temp, set at 180, and got 170 after flushing. Likewise a cold setting of 39 turned out to be in the mid 40s. One cannot just get a small cup of really cold water right out of the spout. My wife likes that so I won’t be sending the machine back. I fill up a quart jar and put it in the frig.To sum it up, it makes good water, but you can get the RO under sink setup cheaper.Update 8/19/2021Perhaps the most annoying design feature on this machine is the control panel. The Lock,Hot,TDS, and Cold bottoms are flush with panel and are touch activated. They just cannot be seen in low light conditions. There are lights behind the controls so why not have them lit all the time. The hot and cold lights are on during the heating and cooling process.Update 1/15/22I’ve had this for 6 months now and the reason I know that is that an annoying beep has begun to tell me to change filters. You cannot stop the beeping unless you unplug the unit. The manual refers to an on/off switch. THERE IS NONE. The manual refers to a reset button I presume to reset the six month timer. THERE IS NONE. So the company has designed a machine that will annoy you until you change the filters. Brilliant. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE even at 20% off.

Dispensing good quality water however disappointing about the height of the bottle that can be fitted under the spout. Also, nice led night light is projecting downward but the top functioning buttons are not visible at night, should be lighted when light switch on. Would be nice to have an adapter that attaches to the spout to be able to fill up large size bottles.

24 month update:To reset the beeping noise, push the up arrow and down arrow together until the clock blinks. Than press the up arrow for reset. The sound will beep every 6 months to tell you to replace the filters. We replace them when the water quality goes down. It been 2 years and it’s still dispensing water at 45 ppm from our tap water at 445 ppm.17 month Update:Some are saying that you can’t reset the beeping noise it makes when you need to change the filters. Twice I’ve faced the beep to tell me to replace the filters. I just start to hold down buttons together and managed to reset the alarm. We have the dispenser now for over a year and we truly Love it. It so much easier than hauling large amounts of purified water. The Charcoal filters will go out first but even without replacing the charcoal filters my water is Registering at 41 ppm from 445ppm. When the reverse osmosis filters stops working, I will replace the filters. But the water still tastes better than most bottled water.We have had ours for a few months, it been running flawlessly. I love having a unlimited source of clean water. Living in the Desert in a major city, the water is about 450 ppm coming out of the tap. That is un drinkable. Most filter systems just don’t do a good job cleaning the water. We tried making distilled water but it took 4 hours to make 3/4 gallon. In the summer, I couldn’t make enough water. Than we got a table top dispenser, but it took a lot of energy to keep it going. I’ve never liked the taste of bottle water or the waste on the planets. So this dispenser was are next try and it’s been so good! I don’t think I will ever need another system. Now the water comes out of the dispenser at 41 ppm and it tastes so good.

After paying a plumber almost nothing to install we asked ourselves WHY ON EARTH DID WE CAREY BOTTLES ALL THOSE YEARS??? Water tastes great. Remember to throw away the first 1/2 gallon through the filters after every change.

The issue is that the positions of the inlet(B) and outlet(H) tube in the instruction manual inside the package are wrong, which may cause the water from the drain into the dispenser.in the manual on their official website, the inlet tube(B) is on top, outlet tube(H) is on the bottom. but in the manual in the packaging outlet tube(H) is on the top, the inlet tube(B) is on the bottom...check the picture. left is the manual inside the package, right is the manual from brio websiteclearly it's a seriously mistake...if you follow the instruction in the package you may put the outlet tube(H) into inlet hole, that means The water dispenser may suck dirty water from the drain. Your entire water dispenser may be contaminated..i contacted company customer service, It seems like they don't really care if the customers drink dirty water and whether or not it affects their health. They just suggest that if you want to continue using the water dispenser, you can drain all the water inside and then flush the dispenser, or you can return it.If you really want to find a reliable water dispenser, my advice would be to look for other brands and stay away from this one.

Great style and value. Easy to install.I'd prefer a larger reservoir but it fills a 40 oz bottle well and refills quickly.It shows the TDS so you know how well it's working or when to change the filters.BEEP - at 6 months it beeps, at any time of day or night, to tell you to change the filters.To stop the beep - hold down the up arrow for a few seconds!
