(More customer reviews)I was a bit apprehensive when I first ordered the The PurestOne (tm) Replacement Water Filter Cartridge for Seagull? IV RS-1SG! 1-Pack from SupremeH2O for my water purification system for my yacht. The replacement filter was not made by General Ecology, the original manufacturer of my system, and GE's filter was almost twice as expensive as the after-market "PurestOne". I've learned the expensive way that cheaper, third-party parts can be a disaster.
Before ordering through Amazon, I went to an outfit here in San Diego which sells reverse osmosis systems and parts, hoping that I could find out more about the Seagull filters. I was informed that they used to stock the item, but the filters were so expensive they decided to no longer stock them.
Instead of just taking the plunge right away and ordering the PurestOne from SupremeH2O (an Amazon seller), I contacted them and was put in touch with Neil Lubin. He explained that the replacement filter in many ways met orexceeded the technical specifications of the OEM filter. After a 10 minute conversation, I went ahead with the order.
My Seagull IV system is installed under the sink in the galley (kitchen) of my 45-foot sailboat. It has a stainless steel bracket that holds the pressure vessel to a bulkhead. Even after two years with no maintenance (my bad!) it came apart easily.The old filter was in a foul condition:streaks of dark red and black gunk grew like high school science fair project gone rogue. After cleaning out the filter vessel, I screwed in the new filter from SupremeH2O - went in perfectly.
After a minute of purging the system, I sampled the water.Amazing. Completely odorless, tasteless, fresh. However the biggest challenge - a taste-test by my first mate, Wendy, was still a few days away. She has an exacting palate (and a sharp tongue!) and I wondered what her verdict would be.
When she arrived from Vancouver, it was one of the things I was keen for her to try. She sipped, and smiled. The system had passed the test.
I see that another reviewer noted that the filter is rated for 750 gallons.I know that does not sound like a lot, but remember that the Seagull IV is designed to produce drinking water. That's a lot of coffee, tea, and the Sodastream Fountain Jet Soda Maker Starter Kit club soda maker (another very cool product for long distance ocean sailors).
Altogether I am very pleased with the filter and the water purification system, and SupremeH2O is a very competent seller.
