Review on πŸ’§ Efficient Instapure ESSENTIALS Certified Filtration Replacements for Optimal Water Quality by Bud Crabtree

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great filter, does its job!

When we lived in Boston, Massachusetts, my family drank water straight from the kitchen faucet. However, in the summer we moved to another state and found that the water in the kitchen had an eggy kind of smell. The water is also very hard. I originally ordered a Culligan FM-15A Stage 3 faucet filter which seemed to work really well, but the flow was so poor it would literally take about 15 minutes to fill a standard pot (no kidding!). I returned the Culligan filter to Amazon and ordered the Instapure filter. This filter really effectively eliminates the unpleasant smell of water. However, I did not expect such a strong effect on the water quality as the best treatment for hard water is a water softener. The water is also much cleaner. Now my family can drink water from the kitchen again and we no longer spend money on bottled water. The water jet is also very good (certainly not as fast as a jet straight from the tap). Also, each of the 4 replacement filters lasts 3 months before I change them (family of 3). It's also cheaper than most other brands on the market and seems to be quite durable. Overall a great water filter and relatively cheap.

Pros
  • replacement water filter
Cons
  • boring packaging
