Product review (1 stars): At best it's the product I ordered
This is the second time I ordered from this vendor. The first time the product came with the security device the manufacturer package states it contains on the inside and with the clam shell glued to the cardboard in a manner that the clam shell could not be removed without ripping or damaging the cardboard. When I state cardboard, I mean the black labeled paper packaging. This would be what I am supposing is the factory seal.

However, the second package clam shell slid right out and not only was missing the security device, which is a passive white RFID device, but it was not glued in either. There is no way I am installing a filter that isn't factory sealed. At best it's the product I ordered, at worst it could be a cheaply manufactured or recycled filter. I'm not really a water snob. If you think your water taste funny, there are a number of companies which will test your water's contents for you. Instead of the endless debate and paranoia, just ship a sample off. However, I have members of this household which have to avoid as many things has they can which could harm their kidneys. I trust Whirlpool as a manufacturer enough to test their products. What I don't trust is insecure, easily compromised packaging. Please fix this. I wouldn't want anything that didn't have a very good tamper seal on it. The glued clam shell to the cardboard isn't all that great, but it's something.

However, now it seems their products don't even have that. I won't be ordering this online until they change their packaging methods.
