Review on ๐Ÿ”„ Seychelle 1 40400 W Radiological Pitcher Replacement: Optimize Your Water Filtration System by Sfl Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Filters out solids like crazy - pre-filter maybe? (Expected update after experimentation)

Some may complain about this issue, but I take it as a pro. These things filter crap out of your water and then clog when they get full. I don't see that as a disadvantage. I live in Portland, Oregon, where we "proud" of open watersโ€”the ones that draw federal government attention and lawsuits ("cover it up or else!"). There are so many solids in my water that these filters only last about 2 months before they completely wear out and stop working. For us this means I load the top end of the filter and it does nothing for 45 minutes - barely dripping. I can hit it and it filters a bit but it still doesn't work for mass filtering. I have not installed a filter for the whole house as we are looking to sell soon. We are in the process of starting a pre-filtration experiment with a cheaper household brand. Pour, pre-filter, pour and see how long they last afterwards. I have no faults with a product that works for a few months and then has problems due to the amount of solids in our water. Even my toilets complain when I clean them in the form of bacteria (pink/green/black deposits when I let go) so I see this as great confirmation that this product is filtering.

Pros
  • FAST AND EASY INSTALLATION โ€“ Quickly screws onto Seychelle Gen 1 water jugs.
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
