Aqua Optima Aurora Compact Countertop Hot & Cold Filtered Water Dispenser Review, Reduces Water Bott 

Did your water tasted like plastic in the beginning? I cleaned the tank but the chilled water still tastes like plastic. I have the machine for 3 days now. I did dispense 2 liters at the beginning like it was written in the manual. I also noticed that when the chiller is on the air that comes out on the right side has a plastic like smell and this is how the chilled water tastes like. Hot water is fine by now. I think it's because of the tank inside of the machine that the chilled water has a plastic like taste.

How much do the filters cost and how long do they last?Also do i have to use filters with this and what are all the oz. it makes?Thankyou!

Is it always on? Or it enters a standby mode? Mine sounds always on
