Ordered this baby online. The water in my area is very hard with high levels chlorine by-products. It comes out tinted yellow with an unpleasant odor. This filter seems to clean it up. The water looks clear and taste good! Thank goodness. If it weren't for this solution for my drinking water, I would have moved apartments. It was pretty easy to set up too. I did it by myself in maybe an hour? I feel it is a good price for the results.
