This filter was way cheaper than the brand sold at Lowe's. This one was at least half the price and works great. I can't tell the difference in the quality (I've used the ones from Lowe's over the past few years). I will get this one going forward. To comment on some of the reviews stating the charcoal coming out in their water, this is normal. I always run 2 or 3 gallons through it before consuming and it clears it out. Great purchase!
