Product review (3 stars): Good Price - The Water Does Taste Better But...
It's a perfect day for me to review a water filter. A couple weeks ago I picked up a free water sample kit from a large Home Depo-rtment store. It was simple, fill a small vile of water and send it off for a free water test and someone will be in touch with the results. So I got the call today and just by chance the rep was in my area and could stop by to test my water further. I had the time and was curious so I had  "Larry the water guy" stop by. Long story short, he was trying to sell me a $5k "water Ionizer" unit. How does this relate to the review? Well, the water he tested was from a 2 week lightly used Supco filter. Larry the water guy was good at his job and seemed on the up-and-up, so I believe most of what I saw and what I saw was not good. After pouring a 4 ounce cold Supco filtered water sample from my refrigerator into a beaker he added a couple squeezes of some chemical into it. He continued with his demo and I could see sediment fall to the bottom while a "Krusen" type foam formed at the top. He took another water sample made from a portable version of the "water ionizer" that he sells. He added the same chemical in the same dosage, zero sediment or foam! So do these type of filters work? I'm sure they do a little but how much, I don't know.

So I give it 3 stars on price. It's probably just as good as the more expensive replacement options but if these type of filter don't filter most the bad stuff out, are they really worth it? In my opinion, 3 stars should be max on any of these type of filters.
