Yeah I ended up getting a Gs3 and plumbing it in. I have a kinetico ro system with the mineral cartridge that adds minerals back to make the water taste good. Big difference in the cup. Adding the minerals back helps a lot. I didn't realize how much quieter a rotary pump was until I got mine set up and plumbed in. Still have the brewt and will probably put it to use somewhere else rather than selling it. Not sure yet though I may sell it. Best to you.
