Tools and Hardware Reviews of Watts 500315 Counter-Top Drinking Water Filter

Customer Review: Easy to install but useless after 6 months
Summary: 1 Stars

I read all the wonderful reviews and for its price it was a terrific choice ...at first. It's very easy to install but after 6 months of use the water diverter valve no longer snaps back into place. But that's minor.

Now after 6 months is time for the replacement filter. The wrench that's needed to open the canister was not provided. Based on other recent reviews there's no way to get it from Watts either. We don't have a monkey wrench at home that's large enough to fit around the entire canister.

I gave it a one-star because a good water filter shouldn't be this difficult to replace a simple filter.

Either way I'm very disappointed that I now have to replace the entire unit after just 6 months of use.

Sidenote: I looked on the Watts website in Nov. 2009 and they still offered support for this unit. I looked in Jan. 2010 they no longer list this unit on their website. I wonder why?
