Product review (1 stars): Do not buy this filter
Update: I ran about 5 gallons of water through the filter before trying to drink.  The water is still cloudy and tastes bad.  I will never buy water filters from this company again,

So I read the packaging completely. It states that I need to read the instructions and refer to the owner's manual for proper installation and operation.  What owner's manual?  I know installation is not rocket science, but if there was supposed to be an enclosed instruction sheet or manual, where is it?  All I want to know is how many gallons of water do I need to run through it before it is safe to use.
