Product review (2 stars): Worked but needed improvement
I just replaced this filter in the morning, California is in drought.
The first bowl of water coming out of this brand new filter carries
some sort of blackish grayish residue. I forgot to take a picture.
I trust that they would not put anything toxic in the filter. My guess
is that the residue is just the extra carbon material they use to build
the product. I'm old enough not to worry about long-term effect on
my health. So, I just flush the system thru with about five gallons of water;
hopefully nobody here will tell the governor.
Come on people, you are building product for water to go into human body,
THINK and have a better quality control procedure.
Two stars for the two seals: no leaking.
