Tools and Hardware Reviews of New Wave Enviro Premium 10 Stage Filter Replacement Cartridge
Customer Review: Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have a New Wave Enviro housing, this is a replacement filter that will work for it. I used to buy replacement filters for mine at Wh*le F**ds, but they stopped carrying them. I wasn't sure if this would work for me, but I gave it a shot, and it fits perfectly.
My city water is clean, but I don't like the taste of it. This filter makes it taste like the finest purified spring water. That's what I want, and that's what this product delivers.
That is to say that I'm interested mainly in TASTE. If you're picky/concerned enough about water quality from a chemical content perspective to desire certification on a filter, than maybe you'd like to pay $500 for something like this: Multi-Pure Countertop Water Filter - Certified for Arsenic Reduction!. While it's nice to know that such products exist, $60 covers my concerns just fine. If I want to get it done, I think my city offers in-home water quality testing - yours might too. (This is in reference to a reviewer who, I think unfairly, gives this filter one star for not being something that it doesn't claim to be.)
Bugs me when people give misleading negative reviews because they want a product to be different from what it is.
Customer Review: Great filter
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been using this kind of filter for 3 years. It is recommended by Dr. Jordan Rubin (Maker's Diet). We love it.Customer Review: the top choice of health food stores & co-ops everywhere
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is the one of choice by what is likely one of the most health conscious and toughest critics...health nuts.
I first saw the product at the main food co-op in Atlanta, and then saw it at the neighborhood health food store and other similar locations. Their selection criteria for products is very high.
I've been satisfied with the taste and cleanliness of the water. We've been using it for over a year (replacing every 12 months), and love it.
Customer Review: Not pleased
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been using Enviro's shower filter for almost four years and have been very pleased. It performs wonderfully. I wouldn't give it up. However, this filter is a disappointment. The construction is fine. It doesn't leak. The cholrine smell (a big problem in my county) was instantly gone, and it was easy to hook up.
My complaint is with the removal of the chrolrine. Perhaps the problem lies more my country. The cholrine content in our water is very high. So perhaps this filter just can't tackle the problem here. At any rate, doing an ice cube test proved much cholrine is still in the water. Take my information for what it is worth.
Customer Review: Didn't fit my housing
Summary: 2 Stars
This filter claims to fit a standard ten inch housing but it definately didn't fit mine. I tried to use rubber gaskets, not use them, use two, etc. It just wouldn't fit and finally it buckled under the pressure because it is made of very thin-walled clear plastic so it can show off the filtering media. BTW, it says ten stages but five of those stages are identical material which is some kind of cotton/fabric/cloth stuff. Those "stages" are just to keep the other layers seperated of course they try to give fancy descriptions of those on the side of the box. Looking at the filter reminds me of those sand birds that you make when you go to the county fair. The outer shell is not only thin plastic, it's also clear plastic. Taking a wild stab at this, I'd guess that it may contain BPA since they seem to have trouble making clear plastic without this substance. Even the born free baby bottles have a slight yellowish tint to them, presumably because of this. I can't really say how it works. Perhaps it's great but I'll never know. I've wasted my money on this item. Only buy it if you already have the countertop unit that they supply. To be fair, I do have their shower filters and those seem to work pretty good and supposedly last a year which is great.
