Review on Mavea 1001122 Replacement Filtration Pitcher by Kate Woods

When we bought this filter from Amazon and replaced it with the first filter, the first thing we saw was filtered water with carbon/soot particles, not after a few flirts. We have now replaced it with a second filter and after 25% filter usage we are still trapping carbon particles in the filtered water. I got fed up with those filters and switched to a third and the result is the same. I suspect these filters are not genuine like the ones we bought from the bathroom store and we have never had a problem with store bought filters. I've never had a bad shopping experience on Amazon, but this is one of the worst purchases I've made on Amazon.
