GE SmartWater GXSTQ Inline Water Filter System Review

GE SmartWater GXSTQ Inline Water Filter System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Excellent product that was easy to install, once I figured out how and what I needed, which segues to my only gripe -- NO INSTRUCTIONS ARE INCLUDED!!!! Thank heavens for Home Depot. I took the filter to Home Depot and their helpful staff guided me to everything I needed (hose & coupling clamp kits -- would have been nice if these were included). The rest was a piece of cake. The parts weren't expensive either, about $5.00.

FM350CH DUPONT Deluxe Faucet Mount Filtration System (Chrome) Review

FM350CH DUPONT Deluxe Faucet Mount Filtration System (Chrome)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used Teledyne Water Pik and Pur faucet-mounted filters in the past. This filter is easy to install, and has a sturdy frame that connects securely to the faucet without leaks. It is aesthetically pleasing, although I am sure that other users may have different color preferences (another Dupont filter on the market offers different color cartridge covers in the same box). The electronic counter is unique, in that it displays gallons of water filtered, and doesn't just indicate when it's time to replace the filter. You have to be careful to connect the display module to the housing BEFORE you insert the water filter, otherwise it will not work correctly. If you unscrew the display after you have loaded the water filter cartridge, then you must remove the filter, screw on the display first, and then reinsert the water filter once again. The bottom line is that the water filter cartridge must be inserted after the display in order for the display to work properly. I also noticed that the counter actually measures the time the filter is in use, and indirectly calculates the gallons filtered by a predetermined formula. Therefore, if you have a low water pressure faucet like I do, the gallons that have been filtered will be overestimated. The display is not very clear if you are looking at it from an angle. The filtered water flows at a slow rate, but all filters have a slower filtered water rate, since the water must flow through the cartridge at a slow rate in order to have a good particle/chemical removal effect. The cartridge can be used to filter 200 gallons of water, and not just 100, like other filters on the market. It is therefore more economical than the competitors. Of course I have not performed any water testing to confirm that the filter remains efficacious for all those 200 gallons. That's what the manufacturer claims. This is the only faucet-mounted filter on the market that is a 4-stage filter. It contains Microban, that supposedly prevents the accumulation of bacteria within the filter. If there is a feature I wish this system had, that would be an automatic switch back to unfiltered water - that would prevent using the filter with hot water, something that can happen accidentally and destroy the filter (hot water destroys all activated carbon filters). I think that there are Culligan filters that have that automatic switch. This system is definitely worth it.

Purchased this item and right out of the bag its threads were stripped and would not fit onto the fittings. Made very cheap and not even worth the money they want. Some might be OK but I have talked with others that got the same and all of theirs were bad also. DO NOT BUY

So far, it is everything as advertised. Was delivered quickly, and installed easily. The water is clear and taste good. The main reason I purchased this item, was that it was advertised to remove bacteria as well as many other contaminants. I am confident it is doing what it is designed for, however, have not tested for this, as of yet. At this point, I highly recommend.

I purchased the unit after reading reviews of the product which said it was too slow but purchased it anyway. Upon receipt I quickly got it started and it was like watching grass grow, it took forever to fill the reservoir and the recovery rate is poor. I use the water for making coffee and it could not sufficiently provide drinking water and water for coffee. I sent it back. Don't waste your time as I did.

Everpure EV9318-40 Solaria Instant Hot Water Dispenser Review

Everpure EV9318-40 Solaria Instant Hot Water Dispenser
Average Reviews:

I was told that this unit was far superior to the Insinkerator that I was replacing after 10 years of great service. Not true.
The delivery of the water is uneven, you never know when it will dispense. When it builds up steam in the unit, it just starts dripping to relieve the pressure. There must be a better way, as I didn't have to put up with the dripping with my Insinkerator. I can't wait to replace it and it would be gone now, if I hadn't paid so much for it. It just feels flimsy, sorry it's not that hot.

Whirlpool/Kenmore Ice and Water Filter 3 pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Item was offered as a 3-pack, but it was packaged as 3 individuals items. No biggie because they performed as expected, so far. My issues are that shipping was high compared to some other online vendors and it took past the expected delivery times to arrive. I had to contact Amazon to complain. Amazon then forwarded my complaint to the vendor (who apologized) and I received delivery in about 10 days after ordering.

Frigidaire WF2CB-2 PureSource2 Ice And Water Filtration System, 2 Pack Review

Frigidaire WF2CB-2 PureSource2 Ice And Water Filtration System, 2 Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had my Frigidare refrigerator for about 5 years now. The filters used to have a thick housing over the two smaller cylinders and it worked wonderfully. I never experienced any problems with those filters. About 2 years ago they changed the design taking away the outer housing leaving only the two smaller cylinders. Since then I have been through 8 filters in two years. When you cover the outlet hole and blow into the inlet hole, you can see the water spirt out of the side of the cartridge. It doesn't always occur at the top seal; however, many times the leak is in the plastic but you can see where the seam glue has run down to the spot where it's leaking. It appears that the glue they are using is dissolving the weak plastic and causing it to leak. I'm not sure what you can do about it but I just save my receipts and take them back about every 2-4 months when they fail. It's a pain but the manufacturer won't do anything about it. I just won't buy another Frigidare in the future!

I wanted to write this water filter a 4 for frustration because it doesn't come with what I needed to install it. After two trips to the hardware store I successfully installed the water filter and it was worth it. My water in my town taste like crap and my refrigerator water filter doesn't help it still taste bad. This filter is the best for the price so far and as long as it last at least two years it will be worth the money. I think my water now taste like bottled water.

WV8046 Refrigerator Water Valve for Whirlpool 4318046 Review

WV8046 Refrigerator Water Valve for Whirlpool 4318046
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First there was no problem with Amazon or the purchase and delivery.
This is a complaint about the FSP water valve. In this case I have replace this valve on this refrigerator four times counting the original valve. If you can find another maker for a water/ice valve to fit your refrigerator do it. Basically the plastic body of the valve is weak, not made well and cracks. The result is water from the valve leaks on the kitchen floor all the way down to the basement until you shutoff the main water valve.
Potential damage to your house.

AquaFresh Replacement Filter for Whirlpool 4396508 Review

AquaFresh Replacement Filter for Whirlpool 4396508
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We purchased this filter (AquaFresh WF285) from another online retailer as a less expensive alternative to our Whirlpool brand filter. Bad choice.
Immediately after installing it we noticed it was producing lots of very tiny black particles of debris in the water, even though we had run the recommended 2 quarts of water through it. Long story short, over 30 minutes and 20 quarts of water later, the water was still filled with these very small carbon pieces, almost like black dust.
We removed it and put our Whirlpool brand filter back in, and within 4 quarts the debris started to go away, and after 6 quarts the water was running clean again.
So, we assumed that we must have simply received a defective filter. Not so.
We contacted the online retailer and they sent us a new one in exchange, and the new one gave us the same exact results. We ran gallon after gallon of water through it (thoroughly rinsing the jug between fills to make sure we weren't seeing lingering remnant debris), and still the second replacement WF285 kept producing water filled with black carbon dust.
However, you do need a keen eye to notice it so I'm guessing that's why we haven't found other negative reviews of the product yet. We believe it's likely that most people simply don't notice the carbon dust after a few quarts because it's so fine, and I'm willing to bet that a lot of people are drinking some carbon-dusty water right now because they've never taken a close look at their water after using this.
If you have this product, fill a white (or very light) colored bowl or juice jug with it and let it sit for a few seconds and watch it under good lighting. You will notice that as the water settles the carbon dust begins to rise to the top and swirl together, making it more visible for people with poor eyesight.
We've switched back to the actual Whirlpool brand and our fridge water is perfectly clean again. Too bad, we were really hoping to save some money because the Whirlpool filters are so much more expensive, but it's totally not worth drinking nasty water from poorly made filters to save a lousy 10 bucks. This experience has us back to buying filters direct from Whirlpool now at a premium. Major bummer.

Maytag UKF7003AXXT PuriClean Interior Refrigerator Cyst Reducing Water Filter, 3-Pack Review

Maytag UKF7003AXXT PuriClean Interior Refrigerator Cyst Reducing Water Filter, 3-Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To reset CHANGE FILTER light: Press and hold the LIGHT and LOCK pads until the CHANGE FILTER light blinks (approx. 3 seconds). The control is now reset for 12 months or another 416 gallons. [whichever comes first]. Note: the 7003 filter is rated at 6 months replacement because it filters more substances than the 7002. The pricing is the same. I have no problem with this over the past several years. If you buy from maytagfilters.com it will cost more ($35.95 if you buy 3) than the home center pricing ($34.95 for 1), but the AMAZON price is the best around.

Whirlpool 4396710P PUR Side-by-Side Refrigerator, Push Button Cyst Reducing Water Filter, 2-Pack Review

Whirlpool 4396710P PUR Side-by-Side Refrigerator, Push Button Cyst Reducing Water Filter, 2-Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a Kenmore refrigerator form Sears that I bought about a year and a half ago. Kenmore is actually made by Whirlpool and although the filter this replaced was labeled Kenmore, this is the exact same filter but labeled Whirlpool instead. I looked it up on the Sears site and they wanted $50 for the same filter. The price is a steal and even though it says 6 months I used it for over a year since I have soft water in my house and only one person. My fridge has a 6 month built in timer that goes from green to orange to red when the 6 months is up. I thought it might be based on actual usage, but it's not, because it went red at exactly 6 months and I use far less water than most other households. I have no idea why more time would harm a filter, as far as I'm concerned it's just a marketing tactic to get you to buy them more often then needed, like oil changes every 3,000 miles.

Everpure H-300 Replacement Cartridge Review

Everpure H-300 Replacement Cartridge
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Good: The water filter works well. The water tastes great and is an economical and eco-friendly alternative from bottle water.
The Bad: Although I received a competitive price for this replacement filter on my Everpure H300 system at Amazon, I needed two plumbers and practically three weeks of badgering to Everpure to get a new head for my filtration unit that was not accepting the replacement filter. The older (3-4 years+) heads on the Everpure units are poorly engineered. The newer heads are significantly better.
The Ugly: Everpure does not have a protocol or any policy to recycle their used filters. I called the company's headquarters and was told to throw the used filter in the garbage. Everpure provides a healthly alternative to tap water for the home and office. That's great. But they are far from being an environmentally sustainable company. Their filters have been absorbing heavy metals, toxins and whatever else may be in the tap water over a long period of time. It is unacceptable to have a policy by default that their used filters be thrown into the waste stream. I will be following up with Everpure's management on this issue...
