Product review (5 stars): Easy Removal and Install and makes some tap waters taste noticeably better
Easy removal and install.  Flow rate more than doubled after replacing used one.  No leaks.  Hassle free.

If you read the many reviews of this filter you will see a virtual blog about whether it's filtering everything out of your water.  Even Harvard PhD chemist has weighed-in.

I asked a PhD Chem Engineer colleague to comment.  He said that the filter is not intended to be like a reverse osmosis machine which filters everything and I mean everything out of the water so that you have virtually distilled water.  It is an activated carbon filter and is more for large particles which are mostly organic, some bacterias, and to make those waters that have a chlorine smell to smell and taste better.  That's it... end of story.

Anyone who thinks this filter is supposed to do more for $35 is goofy.  I've bought it, used it and it makes my water taste noticeably better than the tap water from which it is filtered.

If you don't like it, then use a plug in place of the filter and just let the tap water come straight through the system.
