Tools and Hardware Reviews of Watts 5YR Premier Filter 5-Year/20,000-Gallon Inline Ice Maker Water Filter
Customer Review: Ineffective as a Water Filter - Does Not Remove Impurities
Summary: 2 Stars
Nobody seems to like to see a bad review without actual facts based on my years of experience here at Amazon. After I installed this filter, I decided to conduct a test of its filtering capability. I ordered a water tester here on Amazon to determine how effective that big 5 year water filter is. In a word, ineffective. The unfiltered reading on water in my house is 246 ppm (parts per million). The water coming out of the filter is 241 ppm - virtually the same. And yes, I have thoroughly purged the filter by running the water wide open for half an hour. Actually, I probably have at least a total run time of three or four hours by now. I've been using it every day for over a week. So I decided to test the filtered water on the front door of my new Samsung French Door Refrigerator. Guess what? I got a reading of 206 ppm. I guess this water filter is only filtering out rocks and gravel and maybe sand, but that's about it. All that installation work and money down the drain, quite literally. Here is the link to the water tester I ordered. I like this water tester.

I had a water tester previously, but I accidentally broke it. I have a condo in downtown Shanghai. The water reading there is 224 ppm. And believe me, the water from the lower Yangtze River is not good. And my brand new home here in Conroe, Texas near Houston is right next to the lake. The lake is literally on the other side of my street. I thought the city water quality would be pretty good here, but it isn't. My previous home was a few miles north of Berkeley, California. The water straight out of the faucet had a reading of only 38 ppm. Now that was excellent quality water and it really tasted good, too. I was hoping this filter would produce that level of water, but sad to say, it doesn't do anything as far as dissolved solids go. Technically I should give this filter a one star rating. But at least it flows water without leaking, so I gave it one star extra for that.
So now I wonder which water filter to try next. Does anybody have a suggestion with actual data to back up the claims?
