Tools and Hardware Reviews of Countertop Superior Water Filter System - White - with 1 Micron Carbon Block Filter
Customer Review: Didn't work, pieces missing
Summary: 1 Stars
Ordered 2 of these. One box was missing the faucet adaptor. THERE WERE NO DIRECTIONS. After finally getting it hooked up we had just as many particles in our water as if we were taking it straight from the tap. We found no taste difference. Maybe we hooked it up wrong - doubtful as there's not not much to it - but THERE WERE NO DIRECTIONS. I've had better results from a Britta. Product comes with tool to open unit but it is still extremely difficult to open - good luck changing the cartridge. Had to contact the company for the address to send it back - it isn't listed on the packing list anywhere. They were very responsive and processed my return accordingly - thank goodness. I bought this based on all the positive reviews. This unit isn't worth the aggravation.Customer Review: Different Filter!! Beware.

This is the water filter that shows up for the one I bought last March. You will notice people referencing a discrepancy between the clear filter and the opaque white. I bought the opaque white from WaterFiltersOnline.com - the actual water filter is made by QMP and I believe the model was QMP602 (or 539). QMP appears to be a little company in CA. I am uncertain why the vendor and the mfr were changed - and yet remained related to this product.
The original filter - as one reviewer noted - was the Matrikx PB1 - looks pretty good - this is mfrd by KX Technologies.
Amazon should not have piggy backed the new product with a new vendor on top of an old one - this is inadvertant I am sure BUT does not help customer's know what they are getting.
Customer Review: Great Value

This is an amazing product that is easy to install and works so well you'll wonder why you ever bothered to schlep bottled water into you house in the past. The water from this filter tastes clean and fresh. The price is excellent for all it does. It's easy to wonder if the original marketer - Sears - is trying to downplay its availability because it works better than most of their much more expensive models.
The one serious flaw is that earlier models have a plastic tube that connects the faust to the unit, and the plastic breaks, splits or shears off easily. I got two broken ones in the mail and had to return them for exchange. But newer models seem to have a connector made of metal that is much more durable. Be sure to get that style.
Customer Review: didn't work for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm sending it back, it would not attach to my faucet without leaking and squirting all over the place. My faucet has inside threads, so I needed the adapter included, and I installed it very carefully, tried over and over, added teflon tape, nothing I could do would get a good seal.
I did get a little water filtered through it, it was better than straight city water, but not as good tasting to me as through my Brita pitcher.
Also important if your sink faucet doesn't already provide a lot of clearance below for washing etc, you will lose about 2 inches more clearance with the diverter.
Thank goodness for Amazon customer service, so I can return it. That's why I shop here.
Customer Review: Perfect solution for our household
Summary: 5 Stars
We've had this filter system for a couple weeks now and we love it! It was easy to install, works wonderfully, and the water is fantastic. We were using a filtering pitcher before and not only was it a pain because we use filtered water for anything involving food or drink (refill, refill, refill...), the pitcher water would start tasting "off" after an hour or less in my glass. With the new system, I can drink water that has been sitting beside the bed all night. I love how long the filter will last and how inexpensive it will be to replace it once a year. I've already heartily recommended this system to two friends and would gladly suggest it to anyone else.
