🔒 Watts Premier Lead, Cyst, VOC Carbon Block Two Stage Replacement Filter Pack - 1 Count (Pack of 1) Review

This is incorrectly advertised as Watts Filter System Model 560088 and is NOT manufactured by Watts. This is a Chinese counterfeit by C-Max Products. Fragile and smaller than the original Watts filters I bought from Revain last year. Even the supposed "certification" is misleading. The image shows a label that says "NSF Certified" but the product itself says NSF certification only applies to "Material Requirements" and also says "NOT TESTED OR NSF CERTIFIED". So WTF? I am returning this product

Watts Premier Filter 560088 Great product. This is an inexpensive product that will last a long time. I really prefer this type of filtration system to the swivel faucet style we had years ago. Collapsible cranes broke down after some time. After investing in several versions of the pop up faucet filters, I got smarter and bought the Watts Premier Filtration System. I really noticed that the water tasted much better. Every summer the city flushes the water supply, and you can taste chlorine…

So this is my second time buying this "same" pack from Amazon, I deliberately put quotes because it's a different cartridge that I received last time. As the photo shows, my previous purchase was gray (who cares about color) but the main difference was that it had a flow control hole - see that little hole? This regulates the flow and thus gives the activated carbon filter the ability to absorb impurities. My new blue filter has a huge opening that allows for uncontrolled flow and therefore low

Watts WP-2 I've been changing filters 7 or 8 times for about 4 years. I had no problems with filters until a few months ago. The filters looked the same, but I immediately noticed that the flow rate increased significantly. It might sound good at first, but it was so fast it didn't seem like the filtering was even happening. Tasting water (compared to tap water) confirmed that there is practically no difference. I later used "filtered" water when brewing beer, and as the water boiled, I…

Seller's description implies these are OEM Watt replacement filters. As you can see in the photo below, the pre-filter is made by Flow-Pro, not Watts, and is 5 micron (same as OEM). The activated carbon filter is from MAX (MAXVOC-975), not from Watts. The labels state that the 'materials' have been tested and certified by NSF, but have NOT been tested for effectiveness. The OEM carbon filter was 1 micron and this one was 0.5 micron, which concerned me that the flow rate might be lower with a…
