Product review (4 stars): It's a filter; rather, it's THE filter...
This is the manufacturer's own filter, it's hard to not like it. Or hard TO like it, I can't decide. I feel like I need it, because the tap water here tastes like disappointment and old dirt, I just hate that the filter is so expensive. Our other filter, also bought new but from Target, lasted roughly 6 months.  We were hoping it'd last closer to a year, but I guess we drink a lot of water.
