Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator F-201R Filtration Replacement Cartridges, 2-Pack
Customer Review: Cracked F201R filter floods kitchen and basement
Summary: 1 Stars
InSinkErator F-201R Filtration Replacement Cartridges, 2-Pack We woke up this morning to discover that our kitchen was flooded with water from a crack in a F201R filter. The water seeped through the floor and rained into our basement, covering a wide area. We had to call in professional contractors who removed the almost-new flooring from our kitchen and drilled holes around the bottom of each cabinet to allow tubes to be inserted from multiple industrial strength dehumidifying units. It's a real mess, and it will be several weeks until the kitchen is fully restored. Fortunately it is covered by USAA insurance. The contractor who built our kitchen never told us that we needed to replace the filter, in fact I didn't know that it was there until today. Instant hot water is a nice feature, but we have made little use of it. Now I am wary about using it at all.Customer Review: Filtering Safe Water
Summary: 3 Stars
I buy water filters because family members like the idea. The only specifications published by InSinkErator indicate that the product filters out rust and chlorine taste and odor. No data on biologicals filtration. The product very likely does meet its specs, but it is hard to tell that it does anything to the soft water supplied by the weel regarded public utility that we drank unfiltered for decades. It doesn't change the taste. Easy to install, but take care with dirpping water when you remove the old one. A little pricey for uncertain benefits. Three stars for design and our faith in the manufacturer and the comfort it gives to some in the family. Perhaps users who have hard water, water with off tastes or color, or more highly chlorinated water will write with more specific information on its benefits. :)Customer Review: Flooded kitchen - thousands of $$ in damage
Summary: 1 Stars
Similarly to all the other reviews, we came home to find water gushing out of a crack in the filter. Kitchen flooded and water pouring into the basement. Thousands of $$ in damage to the kitchen and adjoining rooms. Like the others, we had no idea that the filter needed to be changed. We bought the house 1 year ago and hadn't realized we should check that filter. While I take responsibility for not changing it, failure of the filter should not result in a flooded house. I am removing the filter and having the water line go directly to the dispenser. I would rather pay the extra money and have a house filter added later. Make sure you change these filters, you do not want to deal with the consequences if you don't!!Customer Review: Risk of flooding your house
Summary: 1 Stars
My wife was standing by the kitchen sink last night when she heard a loud pop and water started flooding out from the cabinet under the sink. By the time she got the water turned off the kitchen was flooded and water was in the basement. After I got home to investigate the problem was immediately obvious. The bottom had blown out of the water filter. The water pressure in the house literally blew the bottom out of the filter, and just for the record, our water pressure sucks. I shudder to think what the result might have been if my wife had not been standing right there at the time of failure. I think I will bypass the filter rather than risk putting in another.Customer Review: Flooded Kitchen!!! BEWARE
Summary: 1 Stars
I was upstairs when I heard water running and no one else was home. I went to the kitchen to see water pouring out of the cabinet. I quickly figured out what it was and turned the water off but by that time half the kitchen was flooded. The filter was cracked on the bottom like others have said. I'm just glad I was home and had the water off within 30 seconds. Do NOT buy these filters. I will inform my insurance company so if they have paid out claims because of these they can go after In Sink Erator with a pattern of failure in a poorly made product.
