Straight answers, no fine print.

Between roughly 0.75 and 2.5 gallons per day, depending on your room's temperature and humidity. Most owners pour one to three pitchers daily. Warm, humid rooms yield the most; cool, dry rooms yield less.

Clean and alkaline at about 9.0 pH. After harvesting, Spout re-mineralizes the water with calcium and magnesium for taste. In our owner survey, 93% rated the taste good or excellent.

It's built to resist that. On its way to your glass, the water passes through multi-stage filtration and a UV-C stage, and a built-in sanitize cycle keeps the tank and lines clean between fills. In independent lab testing, E. coli and total coliform were not detected in the tested samples. Run the sanitize cycle regularly and change the filters on schedule to keep it that way.

Spout runs indoors down to about 10% relative humidity. It works across most of the country, though very dry, cold rooms produce the least. Check your climate on the product page before you order.

Roughly 5 to 9 kWh per gallon, plus filters. Estimated cost is $25 to $35 a month, including electricity and filters, based on average user usage and the average U.S. electricity rate. Your cost varies with water production, room conditions, and your electricity rate.

Replace one air filter and one water filter every three months. Together, these make one filter pack. A $99 subscription kit contains two packs, covering 180 days, and ships every six months. The machine reminds you when it's time.

Wipe the tank with mild soap and water, hand wash the pitcher weekly, and run the built-in sanitize cycle monthly. The pitcher, lid, and appliance are hand-wash only. Never submerge the lid. Full steps live in the Support center.
