Product review (5 stars): Lasts longer than OE for a trade-off
The only difference I can find over OE replacement filters is that these last for 500 filtered gallons and the OE last for 200 filtered gallons. The only thing I can see that would make this difference is that the OE states that it removes minerals and these specifically stated that minerals are not removed. This would only be an issue if you have hard water, which I do not so it serves as a suitable substitute. Great price over the higher priced OE filters.
