Roxtract Water? Thoughts? What about the Plastic Container?

I recently purchased a Roxtract water system on the advice of my chiropractor, since the water it makes is supposed to remove calcifications/excess calcium in the body, among other miraculous healings. I don't know how much of the claims are truth and how much are hype, but I was willing to give it a try.

What disappointed me is that on opening the unit, I discovered all the parts are plastic, and the receptacle made the water smell and taste terribly of plastic, despite washing, which can't possibly be healthy. Apparently they used to be glass, but switched to plastic 2 years ago to bring the price down and prevent breakage during shipping, etc. What a shame.

Does anyone use this system, and can you advise on whether the plastic will completely off-gas eventually? The guy who sold it to me sells a lot of these and says I'm the only one who has complained of it, which I find baffling. My husband and I couldn't believe how bad it was "contaminated" with the plastic smell and taste, we even ran our usual reverse-osmosis, double de-gassed, distilled and ozonated water we typically have delivered through the system, and it went in tasting lovely and came out tasting like....plastic. Only slightly less intense than the previous batch with tap water, even after sitting in the container no longer than maybe an hour. What a disappointment. I was really hoping to see whether drinking this water would do what is claimed for my health, but I'm afraid to drink it right now. I'd filter it into another container, except part of the deal is the far infrared magnet gizmo in the spout, and the top part where the water sits until its filtered through the ceramic piece is also the same plastic.

I've googled this topic and can't find anything on the plastic issue with this particular system. Wondered if anyone here could advise. Tweet
