Review on Enhanced GE FXHTC Replacement Filter for Efficient System Performance by Steve Lawrence

Recently they've gotten a lot cheaper (now it's just a GE brand, not the old version of GE). No longer 10 inches, more like 9.8 inches, which can result in water bypassing the filter. The carbon must have gone down as they weigh half what they used to. We've had sediment and stains in our toilets recently and haven't had them in 10 years of using these filters. City water filtration only so the water is not very dirty to begin with but sorry after years of loyalty this is now unacceptable. I've tried replacing them a couple of times hoping I got a "bad batch" but apparently that's the new normal.
