Product review (5 stars): I like to think that I am in some small way ...
MADE IN THE U.S.A. and each filter individually cellophane wrapped with a cap, unlike some of the other filters I've received over the years.  For the price, I know that it does not perform as favorably as the much higher priced filters, but for $15 vs. $45, I got more than what I paid for.  This is my second time I purchased Water Sentinel after receiving others that cost more and they were made in China which was not published in their ads.  Today though, I purchased a budget priced filter that performs as expected but exceeded my expectations of packaging with the CONFIDENCE that this product is not some Chinese manufacture of questionable components.  Over the years, Chinese products have had high levels of formaldehyde and other toxic substances, so I stick with American made products as much as possible.  Made in the U.S.A., I like to think that I am in some small way subsidizing an American wage to an American citizen while using a product of known-quality at an affordable price.  Water Sentinel is all good ....  God Bless America and American products.
