FM100XCHMC DUPONT Faucet Mount Filtration System - Designer Color Cap Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was all set to pick up a similar Pur model when this caught my eye at Wal-Mart.I wasn't even aware that DuPont made water filtration products, but after reading the fine print on the box, I decided to give it a try.It has a 60 day money back guarantee, plus a 5 year warranty.If, like me, you are carefully reviewing every single line of text on the box, you may notice it seems to filter less contaminants than other products.Open the box and read the manual, however, and you'll see that it provides the same level of filtration.Why they chose not to advertise this more prominently, I don't know.

It's a fairly sturdy unit, but still plastic.It comes with three different colored caps (black, white, and chrome), although you're stuck with chrome for the base.The included filter is good for 100 gallons, which is standard.200 gallon models are available.Also of note, the replacement filters for DuPont models are much cheaper than Pur or Brita.

After the initial 5 minute priming, where (I assume) the activated carbon is being wetted, and any loose particles are flushed out, I filled a glass with filtered water, and one with unfiltered.Now, our tap water in CT isn't horrible.It does have a rather sharp chlorine aftertaste, though, which was my main reason for getting a filter.Immediately I could see that the filtered water was clearer.I never thought the tap water was murky until I saw the difference.I then gave them both to my wife to try, without telling her which was which.She said the filtered water definitely tasted better, which I agreed with.

DuPont says they don't need to use minerals to enhance the taste of their water; that their filtration system is adequate.Pur, if you've noticed, touts their minerals as a feature of their water filters.So does it matter?Well, the best tasting water I've ever had was country well water, when I lived in Nebraska.Full of minerals, and with a clean, sweet taste.DuPont's filter makes city water taste like it's fresh from a pure spring.Minerals or not, it seems to have a sweeter taste, and is definitely devoid of any chlorine or harsh chemical overtones.

The only installation issue I had was leaking from where it attaches to the faucet.However, the included roll of plumber's tape and a tighter grip solved that problem.The tape was a nice touch, I thought.They also include a wide variety of adapters, should your faucet head have some strange threading.The instructions are very clear on how to assemble and install this product, and barring any leaks, you'll be up and running in just a few minutes.

The only downside to this product is a lack of any sort of filter life indication.Even Pur's cheaper models have a colored bar that slowly changes to red to indicate the end of the filter's life.DuPont does sell a more expensive model (FM350CH Deluxe) with a digital counter to indicate gallons filtered, but with this, you're on your own.Pur says a 100 gallon filter is good for roughly 3 months with average water usage, so I'd go from there.

All in all, a solid product for a great price.Highly recommended.

Whirlpool Central Water Filtration System WHEJL1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing works. Kind of tricky to install yourself if you are not good with plumbing, but I did it. Hint: Pex tubing and connectors are your friend.

You need to hook the waste water tubing to something to take care of the waste water, I have mine going into the sump well in the basement so the sump pump takes care of it. It also needs an electrical outlet. Once you hook it up you can pretty much forget about it. Nice.

Brita Disposable Faucet Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This device works as advertised and was very easy to hook up.It comes with a couple of different faucet adapters so whether the threads of your current faucet are inside or outside, there should be an adapter to handle it.The green light to indicate that the filter is still good is especially nice.My only complaint is that the flow if decreased by about 60-70% when using the filter so it takes a while to fill up anything larger than a drinking glass.Other than that, great product.

Wellness Carafe (2.3 Litres) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You just have to understand how it functions. The water travels a bit slower through the filter than most carafe types because it takes longer to ACTUALLY filter out what you don't want in your water. If the water goes through too fast it is not really catching all the unwanted particles. Further, every so often the filter material becomes dense (and the water flows slower). All you have to do is remove the filter and bang it a couple of times on a counter edge to redistribute the material inside. Then it will flow faster again.

Product Description:
If you want clean, safe and refreshing water in a pitcher design, then the new Wellness Carafe is ideal for you.

If you want ice water you can pour a handful of ice in with the tap water or you can put it in the refrigerator. Like all Wellness Filter products, the Carafe's multi-stage cartridge contains the famous enhancement media for improved hydration, soluble minerals and negative ions. Carafe includes one forty gallon capacity filter. Additional filters available separately.

Water Filter Cartridge KDF GAC For Undercounter Units Standard Housings - Super Quality Long Lasting! Review

Product Description:
Filter combines .75lbs. of KDF-55 media, a compound of Copper and Zinc, and GAC (Granulated Activated Carbon) and works especially well on Chlorine taste and odors, while adding all the reduction-oxidation benefits of the KDF compound.The water filter cartridge utilizes KDF filtration media, GAC (granular activated carbon) and 3 stages of polypropylene sediment filtration.KDF Process Media are high-purity, granulated copper and zinc-based alloys that filter water through a process based upon the principle of redox (Oxidation-Reduction). Originally, KDF was shorthand for Kinetic Degradation Fluxion. We can explain redox like this: KDF Fluid Treatment's unique combination of copper and zinc creates an electro-chemical reaction. During this reaction, electrons are transferred between molecules, and new compounds are created.The GAC media helps to further reduce chlorine taste and odors.

HM Digital Pocket Size TDS Meter TDS-4 Water Quality Tester Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It seems to work.. I have no way to gauge if it is truly accurate. :) However, when testing a water source before and after it entered our RO filter, it clearly showed that the RO filter was working. Have had this for about 4 months now and it has worked fine w no battery problems.

It is good that it has a button to save your reading until you take it out of the water. Without that, sometimes it's hard to read the display while the meter is in the water container.

Omni Corporation U25E Whole House Water Filter System with Clear Housing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Yes, the TO1 carbon filter removes most of the chlorine taste, and installation is pretty easy. As one reviewer has indicated, it's hard to keep the filter housing from leaking. It's really due to the poor finish inside the opening into which the filter cannister is screwed. There are some rough seams that prevent the o-ring from seating perfectly. Minor adjustments are needed to obtain a leak-free fitting. BUT - and this is what they don't tell you - the unit has a life of FIVE years. Omni says that after five years, the plastic parts (that's every part, folks) will have degraded to the point of imminent failure. The instruction manual requires that you replace the clear plastic lower unit (cannister) every five years, or "costly repairs or water damage" may result. I contacted Omni, since I could find no source for the lower unit, and they told me that the ENTIRE UNIT MUST BE REPLACED EVERY FIVE YEARS, as all the plastic will have degraded to the point of failure by then. Doesn't say much for the quality of their product, does it?

Water Distiller, Countertop, White Enamel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this distiller for almost a year, and it makes the best water I've ever tasted. The only reason I don't give it five stars is that I think there might be a way to make it more convenient; I think an older or frail person would have a tough time removing the upper cover (fan unit) after distilling (it's fairly heavy, and it makes a tight seal with the body of the distiller).

When I first started using this distiller, I thought there was a slightly acrid taste to the water, even with the carbon filter. Eventually I figured out what was wrong. I live in an area where the tap water has a very high mineral content. The body of the distiller is essentially an electric kettle that holds a gallon of water. It shuts off automatically when the water boils off. But the mineral gunk left over gets burned onto the bottom and the sides of the "kettle", and that's what was causing the slightly off taste. By setting a timer so that I remember to shut off the distiller before the last few ounces of water boil away, I've been able to improve the taste of the water, as well as make de-scaling the kettle a less frequent task. (Starting from cold tap water, it takes about 6 hours to distill a gallon of water, so I shut it off at about 5 1/2 hours.) Curiously, the little button on the front of the distiller body is only an "ON" button; to manually turn the distiller off, you have to pull the power plug.

Another slight drawback to this product is that the cooling fan is pretty loud. I run the distiller in a downstairs utility room, so it doesn't bother me at all, but you wouldn't want to be in the same room with it when it's running.

Brita 42633 Faucet Filtration System, Black/Chrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I may be reiterating what many of the reviewers before me have said, but I may have a few helpful points to add.

First, they should have never used plastic adapters.Kitchen faucets with internal threads are quite common and the likelihood is high that you will have to use one of the included adapters to attach the filter to that kind of faucet.The plastic threading simply can't withstand the water pressure that will inevitably push on it when you turn the water on all the way.

It would have been very easy for them to use quality steel parts, and I'm sure most people would have been happy to even pay $5-10 more for something that will actually last.It is especially surprising that they would cut corners on a product where the real profit comes from the replacement filters rather than the original purchase.Who knows what they were thinking (or if they were thinking at all), but this product simply doesn't work when setup correctly.

The use of plastic is not where the problems end, however, because there is literally less than a half an inch of exposed threading within the top portion of the adapter.The adapters themselves also have around a quarter inch of threading.This is really a shame, because even using a weak material like plastic might be sufficient if they had enough threads engaging to strengthen the connection.

That said, if you are set on using this product (or forced to), here are a couple of things you can do to help alleviate the problem.I've gotten mine to work long enough for me to order something from one of their competitors.

- Turn the water pressure down on your faucet.In case you don't know how, there are usually two levers (one hot, one cold) underneath your sink that control the water supply.Try tightening them until the water flow is slow enough that it won't blow the filter off.

- Try epoxy or a similar plastic bonding agent.I used epoxy to bond the adapter to the filter mount.You can then screw it on by holding the rotating ring in place.This is an irreversible and permanent solution, but it will make it so that there is only one point that will leak.

- Another poster suggested you can contact Brita to get a metal replacement adapter.That may be a good solution.However, keep in mind that you will still have to screw the metal adapter into a short length of plastic threading.That may simply shift the weakest point to a different part of the mount.
