Review on BOSCH / Cuno 9000 077104 UltraClarity REPLFLTR10: Optimize Your Refrigerator's Water Quality by Jermall Meredith

We have been replacing this filter in our Bosch fridge every 6 months for over 10 years. For the first time we saw significant changes in design and materials. Now it's cheaper with a glossy, less-durable plastic versus a matte, bold feel, nowhere to write the date, and no obvious snap connection when you twist it into position. Also, the water has slowed down significantly and the machine has to work much harder to filter the water. We removed the new filter to see if we forgot to remove any seals and we didn't. As mentioned, we do this twice a year x 10 years. Let's look for old stock. A very disappointing change to a filter that worked perfectly. In the photo, the old filter is on the right and the new filter is on the left.
