I bought this filter about 1 year ago...the filter is awesome...the best tasting water I have had from a filter...if people having a bad experience with this filter they are too dumb to own this filter and should use the Brita...
 I have used a Brita for years...my sister had this filter and I was drinking from the filter for a week..I got home and bought one myself.. I couldnt be happier...the only negative is when I hand pour it leaks
