I've used these filters for several years now and love it! My city water is so chem-ed, you can smell the chlorine when you run the tap. A new neighbor was over recently and when she tasted my water she said that my bottled water tasted better than hers. When I showed her my filter container and filters she was amazed. She spends four times as much on big refillable ten gallon bottles at the grocery store and then has to find someone to lift them when she has to move them. You'll be getting an order from her soon.  lol
