Need a longer period for verification.

Just had a 6 month cycle so it's hard to say with 100% accuracy how well the filter is working. We live in south Texas where the water in our landscape is rich in minerals and salts. When it comes to itching after a shower, I know that the filter has had its day. There is a small improvement in the efficiency of our dishwasher, but it didn't last long. There may not be a filter that can handle our water without impacting our well-being.

Pros
  • Replacement Water Filter
Cons
  • Not as thick as other filters

Reduces white residue from hard water in ice maker ice

White particles due to hard water in my ice maker, even with my new water softener. My under counter filter didn't remove it. I switched to this filter after a long search. After rinsing the ice maker by replacing the cubes several times, the situation improves. When you use this filter, be aware that it adds a chemical to the water to keep the minerals dissolved, even when the water is chilled. Over time, it wears out and the filter needs to be replaced.

Pros
  • Replacement under sink water filter
Cons
  • Repair
