Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chrome Countertop Water Filter
Customer Review: the best water filter
Summary: 4 Stars
this filter is the best I don't have to change cartridge every month. It is compact which is great it is not in the way on the counter.Customer Review: False Advertisement -- Lead removal?
Summary: 1 Stars
I live in an old house with lead soldered pipes, and must have a filter on my kitchen faucet to ensure my drinking water is safe. According to the Amazon description, this filter is claimed to remove lead. When I received it, the information included in the package comprised a poorly-copied, 2-page poorly-written instruction sheet on how to install the filter unit. There was no information whatsoever on the pollutant removal efficiency of the filter, as one has the right to expect. I contacted the manufacturer to ask, specifically about the filter's lead removal efficiency -- not chloride, and to ask what to do about the leak around the base (present from the outset). I received the following reply, from a mysteriously named Yahoo account:
"Dear Brooke,
We would like to let you know that filter performance in terms of percent efficiency it removes Chloride for 90%. one of the option you've got is to open and close carbon filter straight-tight, that may help.
Thank you,
Purenex."
I responded with:
"Hi there,
You didn't answer my question about lead (as in the element, "Pb."). Does the filter take out lead, or not?
Thanks."
I sent this follow up message on Dec 8th. It is now the 21st and I have yet to hear from them. I've ordered another filter (Culligan, as suggested by Consumer Reports), and am buying my drinking water until I get it. (Oh, to be fair, the leak fix they suggested did work.)
Customer Review: Not sure what I received
Summary: 1 Stars
Very disappointed with the product that I received. I have seen the Paragon chrome water filters, and this did not compare. I am not sure if someone swapped out a return, and that I received this unit on a later order... but the product that I received was really poor quality. The chrome all over the unit was blistering off, and the screws on the bottom were corroded. Definitely returned it.Customer Review: Don't Bother
Summary: 1 Stars
I was not impressed with this unit. I've been using PUR and Brita filters and decided to go with a counter top model instead. But this unit added a more unpleasant flavor to the water than what it removed. I could never, ever, ever recommend this unit. I was totally disatisfied and immediately returned it for a full refund.
