GREAT CHLORINE FILTER!

Product for 5. Eliminates all my chlorine problems for two months. Have used many and will continue to do so! BE CAREFUL however, when transporting the Revain the heavy filter in the shipping carton can be crushed and the filter housing broken twice - see photo. This does not interfere with filtering yet, but disadvantages

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • No Automatic

I have been using this filter with the Big Blue housing for many years. I get clean and transparent water at all consumption points in my house. I find water straight from the tap tastes great now, but "others" in the house still prefer bottled water. Note: In the blind tasting test, everyone chose tap water! I use it before my fabric softener and it removes scale and chlorine. Because of this filter, the softener media lasted much longer than expected.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Reliable

outside tolerances fit replacement water filter

I have used these filters in the past and they have definitely been removing the 'sulphur/rotten egg' stink from my well water for months. For some reason the last one I got was 1/8 inch shorter than the previous one and I had to double up the gasket on one end to keep it from rattling into the case. I hope this is a coincidence as I'm not sure. how effective it will be under pressure in the long run. I've had inconsistent packaging and quality with this product, but it handles odors well. I…

Pros
  • nice
Cons
  • some imperfections

Water doesn't go through at all!

I signed up for this product a few months ago but unsubscribed today because: 1. the filter I received in August didn't even last a month, although it usually does depending on the Water quality 2-4 months keeps outside 2. i got 2 filters in september, 1 of them didn't let water through at all which caused water to leak onto my floor, i had to open another one i wanted to use later. Then I noticed that the logo is different from the previous one, it's not Pentek as it said in my order, but…

Pros
  • Good thing

Great sink filter

Great filter. Install under the sink in a thin 10" filter with 1/4" inlet and outlet and connect to cold water with 3/8" faucet connections. When the water was cold, I didn't notice any significant drop in pressure. I've noticed that this carbon block filter virtually eliminates the taste of chlorine in city water. I've had it installed for a few weeks now and it's working great and hopefully it will last many months before it needs to be replaced. Highly recommend this EP-10 filter for a whole

Pros
  • Kitchen and bathroom faucets
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Still great taste after 6 months!

This product was used in a Culligan HF-150A whole house housing but under the sink. Whole-house filter cartridges are cheaper and filter much faster than under-the-sink products. This filter worked great, fit in the housing and made the water taste almost as delicious as our other 4 stage UV filtering rainwater system but at a much lower price. We don't do a separate phase of precipitation, just this one. I will update the review if the filter doesn't work well in the future. Update 1/10/2013 -

Pros
  • Replacement under sink water filter
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something
