Clear2O Filter (3 Pack) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Clear2O makes a decent pitcher, with a few design quirks.However, their filters do a much better job of removing impurities than Pur or Brita could ever hope to, and the taste difference is truly noticeable.The solid block carbon is the secret, but if you are looking for a "crisp" taste rather than a "dull" taste, go for the Brita.

The filters are supposed to be changed after 50 gallons, but I've read that the pitcher may show "red" before the 30 gallon point.I can say that Clear2O changed their filters about a year ago to last an extra 10 gallons (I called in about the slight change in filter model numbers).Unfortunately, the pitcher is not modified to accommodate this change, so you just have to run the pitcher until it's back in the "green" area again if your pitcher is like mine (surely newer ones accommodate this change now).

I've found that the filters still seem to filter about the same until after the second full cycle of green-to-red.At that point, the taste starts to get a little different and you run the risk of some sort of bacterial floaters resting on the bottom of the pitcher.This behavior is probably why the Clear2O site says you need to clean the inside of the pitcher with vinegar at each filter change, because not doing this assures the bacterial film will eventually appear.If you always refill the pitcher before it ever runs out of water, you can almost assure in time a bacterial film, which can be dislodged by shaking the water around and then looking through the pitcher at a light source.It appears to be harmless, as I found out I'd been drinking the film for awhile.

This three-pack gives you the best price per filter, and it can be sent via Prime.

Why do I put up with the "dull" taste and the potential for a harmless film?Because both the laboratory test results and my tongue tell me there's almost nothing left but pure water, and that is what I want for tea, coffee, and any other drink I may desire, and we go through a lot of filtered water in my home.

Frigidaire WF2CB PureSource2 Ice And Water Filtration System, 1 Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had my Frigidare refrigerator for about 5 years now.The filters used to have a thick housing over the two smaller cylinders and it worked wonderfully. I never experienced any problems with those filters.About 2 years ago they changed the design taking away the outer housing leaving only the two smaller cylinders.Since then I have been through 8 filters in two years.When you cover the outlet hole and blow into the inlet hole, you can see the water spirt out of the side of the cartridge.It doesn't always occur at the top seal; however, many times the leak is in the plastic but you can see where the seam glue has run down to the spot where it's leaking.It appears that the glue they are using is dissolving the weak plastic and causing it to leak.I'm not sure what you can do about it but I just save my receipts and take them back about every 2-4 months when they fail.It's a pain but the manufacturer won't do anything about it.I just won't buy another Frigidare in the future!

Brita 42556 Grand Pitcher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, I will share with you who I am, so you don't think I work for PUR or sell PUR products in a store or something.I am a college student and I live on campus, where my tap water tastes terrible.As a result, I was in the market for a filter pitcher.I decided on this pitcher because of the large capacity.I share this Brita "not so Grand" pitcher with 3 other dudes, so needless to say, it gets lots of usage since we are all athletes that drink lots of water.At first, this pitcher seemed like a perfect fit because it has a large capacity and a "simple" electronic thing that tells you when to change the filter.Here is my attempt to persuade you, the consumer, not to buy this product.
In the relatively short (3 months) amount of time that I have had this pitcher, I have spilled enough water on my floor, counter and fridge to fill a medium size pond.Now, you may be sitting there thinking to yourself, "well, that's just because you are a clumsy/drunken college student."How wrong you are.The overall design of this pitcher is flawed for a few reasons:
1. When filling this pitcher, one must wait for the water to completely filter into the lower, clear portion of the pitcher, as the top does not fit tightly enough to prevent leaks when the pitcher is slightly tipped while being returned to the fridge.This is simply unacceptable considering this is one of Brita's most expensive pitcher models.
2.I encourage you to compare Brita's products one of its competitors, such as PUR.At home, my family has been using an entry level PUR pitcher and this "leaking from the top basin phenomenon" has never been a problem for us, in fact, I can pour a glass of water almost immediately after filling the top basin with un-filtered water, assuming there is still filtered water left in the lower half of the pitcher.
3.The spout on the "Grand" pitcher is completely flawed.This tiny flaw causes water to spill all over everything if two hands are not used to pour. (One hand to hold the pitcher, one hand to lift the spout cover).This is annoying as I have to set the cup down, instead of being able to hold the cup in one hand, and pour with the other.The problem with the design is explained here:
The white spout covering the clear portion of the pitcher that the water comes out of has groves in it to make a better seal when the pitcher sits in the fridge.I suppose this is to prevent the entrance of foreign bacteria or mold spores into the pitcher, however, this greatly inhibits the usability of the pitcher itself.For instance, if the pitcher's filtered water reservoir is too full (something that should not be an issue since the reason I purchased this particular pitcher was because of its large capacity) when one attempts to pour a delicious glass of chilled filtered water, the cap on the pourer winds up sticking and one receives two feet full of delicious chilled filter water.
Had I known of this flaw, I would have put on my flippers and snorkel before getting a glass of water.I also never would have wasted this much money purchasing one of Brita's so called "higher end" pitchers when I could have bought a cheaper, higher quality pitcher from one of their competitors.Don't buy this pitcher.Happy Hunting.
Sincerely,
Kevin M.

Watts 202000 10-Inch 5-Micron for Multi-Cartridge Whole House Water Filter with Solid Block Activated Carbon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I installed a sediment prefilter and then this type to clean up the taste and smell of the water.

I bought two of this carbon filter model in addition to a bunch of the sediment filters.

The first carbon filter I installed did an awesome job.The water came out crystal clear with no odor.I stopped using the Brita for drinking water even.

That lasted about 3 weeks and the smell returned and the water got rusty again over a period of a couple days.

So I replaced the prefilter and the carbon filter with new ones.And the water was again clear and odorless.But this time it only lasted about 3 days until the odor returned.

I checked the filter and it doesn't look dirty.The flow is still strong with no noticeable pressure loss.I keep the pressure at 40 PSI.

If they were to continue working like the first one did, I would be happy to pay for these relatively expensive filters.But I think they must be developing channels in the filter and becoming ineffective.There is no other explanation for how the filter can look clean, have no pressure drop, and lose it's filtration properties so quickly.

I'm going to have to try other brands.

Brita On Tap Replacement Filters, White, 2-Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've tried all the faucet filters available and were not satisfied with any of them.Last year we bought a Brita and have never looked back.The water has absolutely NO taste after being filtered.Which is good.Before filtering it has a strong chlorine taste.My only complaint, and this is NOT Brita's fault, is that because our water has lots of particulate matter (which we were swallowing before we got the filter!) the filters last only 2-3 weeks, not months.But otherwise, it performs much better than the other major brands.Highly recommend.

Brita Riviera Water Pitcher Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I lived in CA we had very hard water. I purchased a fairly expensive two-stage filtration system that mounted under the sink thinking this would be the greatest tasting water ever. I was wrong. The water still had a metallic taste. When I tried a Brita Pitcher I was extremely impressed. They are the only company that uses silver oxide pellets in the filter, which act as a water softener and work well with hard CA water. I've since moved to GA where the water is much softer, but these filters make such a noticable difference it is incredible. If you change the filter every 5 weeks or so you will be very happy with the results. I've been using the same pitcher for about 7 years now and it is still in great shape.

Product Description:
The Brita Filter's activated carbon and ion exchange resin work together to filter ordinary tap water and turn it into healthier, great tasting drinking water. The Riviera pitcher is NSF and Water Quality Association certified to reduce chlorine (taste and odor), copper, sediment, 98% lead, benzene, and more. A feature that sets the Riviera filtration pitcher apart from others is its SMART technology, a built-in electronic indicator automatically notifying users when to change the filter. For optimum performance, change the filter every 2 months or 40 gallons. Filter replacement is essential for the product to perform as represented. The filter change indicator contains a non-replaceable sealed battery designed to last 5 years, depending on usage. After 5 years the pitcher is still functional, but the electronic filter change indicator will eventually stop working.
