Review on πŸ’¦ Efficient Express Water Reverse Membrane Replacement: Ensuring Pure and Clean Water by Thomas Chalecki

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not as pictured and not as versatile as advertised. Don't waste money.

Despite the seller's comments, this item is NOT "universally compatible with most reverse osmosis systems". Unfortunately I waited too long to install it to get it back (30 days). I have a Watts 525 5 stage reverse osmosis system. I replaced a Dow Filmtec TW30-1812-50 TFC membrane (the Express Water element is a few dollars less). Big mistake. The FLTMEME50 will not fit properly in the reverse osmosis chamber causing water to leak out of the plugged end. I checked my faucets twice and the lid is tight and still dripping. I think the black ring isn't as thick as it should be to seal the barrel and/or the blue plastic rod at the end with the black ring is too long, which kinda compromises the chamber seal. The actual device does not match the photo on the product page. The blue core extends 1/2 inch beyond the black spacer/ring. The image is misleading, the product is not compatible with my reverse osmosis system. 50-Dow-Filmtec-Replacement-Undersink/dp/B0786Z293S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521923916&sr=8-3&keywords=Filmtec+TW30-1812-50+TFC+membrane
