Definitely 5 stars for prompt delivery, ease of installation, and so convenient to use, plus the water tastes great! We are renting at the moment so getting great quality water is a priority for us. We didn’t think it was possible while renting but hey I’m glad I was proven wrong on that one.

OMG!!!! Gold star customer service all the way. Ordered the twin countertop water filter, our house has French tap ware which has a “reverse thread”, so the standard fittings were incompatible. Brett at Living Whole provided amazing support and perseverance, and solved the issue. It is now installed and saving us a small fortune in bought filtered water. Many thanks Brett and team.

Prompt and excellent service. Living ehole called a number of times to check if I received my order, and even noticed I hadn’t picked it up from Aus post.
It’s nice that living whole checked up to make sure I hadn’t missed my delivery.
These touches are what makes business in 2024.
Keep up the good work. 👍

I’m very happy with the product. Happy to drink water with very little amount of flouride in it. Such a filthy substance to be in the water (flouride that is). Thanks again Living Whole. By the way I bought the Doulton Twin Countertop Water Filter with Flouride Removal Components.
