Don't wash your car.

I have given this item 3 stars but please note I am not using it for drinking water. I purchased this item to see if it would help reduce watermarks while in the car. I'm not sure if this is a myth or not, but clean water isn't supposed to leave water stains on cars, even if you wash them in the sun. After washing the car and filtering the water with this item, I still have water stains on the car just like when I didn't have this filter on the hose.

Pros
  • Water Safety Matters: GAC (Granulated Activated Carbon) filtration significantly reduces bad taste, odor, chlorine and sediment
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Buy a sediment filter instead, save money

This is an activated carbon sediment filter. If this. The water entering this filter has been tested on 3 calibrated machines at 520 PPM inlet and 516 PPM outlet. I tested 3 filters and they were all purchased from different places months in advance. Filters are literally crap filters, and if you think it's safer to drink water through that hose, then you really are in danger. Check out reverse osmosis and save your health and money. Avoid using them unless you know what they actually do.

Pros
  • Bulk filtration: The built-in bulk filter lasts an average of 3 months
Cons
  • Reliability

THIS FILTER WILL NOT REMOVE CONTAMINATION

This filter is a joke. It is designed to filter out sediment, chlorine and other contaminants. I measured the quality of tap water with a TDS meter. It showed about 500 ppm or parts per million (which is actually illegal for a city to have water with that many pollutants). After running water through the filter for 1 minute as directed, remove any debris from inside the filter before use. Black water came out after turning on the faucet (probably due to activated carbon dust from the charcoal…

Pros
  • Protects Against Bacteria: Premium KDF provides protection against bacterial growth when the filter is in storage or not in use
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required

Photos of water before and after!

I just installed this on a sturdy faucet and I'm already impressed! The water in the house is supplied by the plumbing system, but there was always iron in the barn water. The iron has deteriorated when the house's hydraulic accumulator was replaced, to the point where the water is cloudy brown with floating sediment! If the water supply came out and tested the water they would say the water in the stable is good for horses but if we want to get all the iron out we need to replace/upgrade the…

Pros
  • Low Lead Certified: Complies with all federal and state low lead laws. CSA Low Lead NSF/ANSI 362 Certified
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Has it made my water LESS purified?

I bought this to ensure a proper car wash but have done some testing with the filter. In short, it didn't work. Here's how I tested it: after receiving the filter, I connected it to a faucet and blew for 2 minutes. I took glass 1, rinsed it out and filled the glass with filtered water. I removed the filter and filled glass 2 with tap water. 3 areas examined: 1) VISUAL: Both tap water and filtered water appeared clear, colored, or precipitated. PASS2) TASTE: The taste of the filtered water was…

Pros
  • Includes: Flexible hose protector to reduce stress on connectors and minimize kinks
Cons
  • Unnecessary features

We're tired of drinking bottled water everywhere and using all those plastic bottles that are bad for the environment. So we decided to go the water filter route. After doing some research, I settled on this one for a number of reasons. First, it's built-in and attaches to the RV or faucet end of your hose. Just make sure the arrow is pointing in the right direction! ;) Second, it's small enough to fit in the water/TV/connection compartment on the side of our 5th wheel. I hook mine to the end…

Pros
  • Made in the USA: Made in the USA
Cons
  • Good but not great
