Una Jackson –
I’ve used this cartridge for three months now and notice a significant improvement in water clarity. The installation was simple and the filter lasts longer than the previous model. No clogging issues, and the water tastes cleaner.
Edward Pullman –
The mechanical filtration works well, especially for removing small particles. The carbon layer does a good job of removing odors. I had to replace it after about 6 weeks, which is normal for this type of filter.
