Frequently Asked Questions

How does the BOROUX Legacy System work?

The BOROUX gravity-fed water filter system has one upper chamber and one lower chamber. The filters are installed in the upper chamber. Water is poured into the upper chamber, and then gravity pulls the water down through the BOROUX Foundation Filters and into the lower chamber. Drinking water can then be poured out from a spigot located at the base of the lower chamber. 

How do the BOROUX Foundation Filters work?

BOROUX Foundation Filters work by absorbing and trapping contaminant molecules. The carbon attracts and absorbs molecules with a certain chemical charge. They stick to the carbon, like how a magnet attracts metal. The tiny pores of the carbon block are so small that they physically block and trap tiny particles. It's similar to a sieve or strainer.

What is the BOROUX Legacy system made of?
  • Foundation Filters are a specialized blend of activated carbon
  • Chambers and spigot are 304 AISI stainless steel, which is food-grade quality and highly corrosion-resistant. 
  • Stem Saver and hole plugs are BPA-free food-grade plastic
  • base ring and washers are food-grade silicone 
When and how to do maintenance?

We recommend cleaning the stainless steel chambers and spigot monthly. The Foundation Filters should be scrubbed every 3-6 months or when you notice a slower flow rate. 

Cleaning Instructions: 

  1. Remove Foundation Filters: Take out the filters and place them in a safe spot to avoid any damage. 
  2. Wash the Chambers: Using warm water and a mild dishwashing soap, wash the chambers, parts, and pieces by hand. Or, place the stainless steel chambers in the dishwasher.
    Optional remove the spigot: If needed, detach the spigot from the lower chamber for cleaning. DO NOT use soap on the foundation filters.
  3. Reassemble and enjoy: Once dry, reassemble your BOROUX Legacy System and continue to enjoy refreshing water. Happy hydrating!

I’ve only had the Boroux Legacy system for a few days

I’ve only had the Boroux Legacy system for a few days. So far the water tastes good! In all honesty, there is certainly a piece of mind knowing that the water is being extensively filtered from city water contaminants. The only negative is it took some time to figure out how to put the system together. Instructions somewhat confusing. A bit time consuming but as I had to view a few different videos before completion. The bottom container will leak if you over fill it. It happened twice as my wife and I filled it at different times. Being very mechanical with an engineer’s problem solving mind, I believe there is some more room for improvement in design. However, the system does work so far so good! Overall we are happy and glad we purchased the BOROUX filtration system.

We are glad to hear that you are already enjoying the taste of your filtered water and feel a sense of peace of mind knowing it is free from city water contaminants.

We apologize for any confusion you experienced while setting up the system. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our product and will take your feedback into consideration for future updates. Thank you for being patient and resourceful in figuring it out.

Good Look and Taste are replacing multiple trips and hoisting 5 Gal Containers.

This water system has a nice look and provides a good taste to our water. So far, after a month or so, we’re happy with our choice. We’re glad to be rid of trips to the water store to transport clean water.

We're thrilled to hear that our system has made your life easier and improved the taste of your water. We strive to provide high-quality products that eliminate the need for multiple trips and heavy lifting. We appreciate your support and are happy to have you as a satisfied customer.
