Aqua Pure AP217 Replacement Cartridge for Drinking Water System Filter

This filter is excellent but it needs to be replaced more frequently than I have in the past i.e. over a year. The screw-in tip actually broke off on the last one without my realizing it (you can't actually see it ) so who knows long I wasn't actually getting filtered water. Before replacing you must shut off water before trying to unscrew the filter housing and do not tighten the replacement filter too tight or the narrow neck will break and you won't be aware of it. I will replace every six to nine months from now on.

Not a bad price, it works perfect with the water filter. The only request I have is to include the ring instead having to order them separately.

Installing this filter should be easy but it's anything but. In spite of some plumbing experience, I have had REPEATED problems with the threaded nipple snapping off while carefully attempting to install the device. This results in total uselessness of the filter. There are multiple reviews online confirming others having the same experience. The company apparently cares little about rectifying the problem.

Driving Without Fear Hypnosis Cd ProgramIt works very well and is simple to install. That's a lot, since some replacement cartridges are difficult to install. It fits well and produces great tasting water. What more do you want? Perhaps the cost is a bit high, but I found it adequate overall.

The filters are expensive but do a good job of filtering the water.

Product well described and fits perfectly. It has a large filtering capacity for most household needs at the sink and improves taste and purity of our tap water.

There are many filtration systems that fit under your sink. I chose the Aqua-Pure system years ago because it is compact and took care of the rather modest drinking water problems in this area, mostly just the chlorine taste. My filter is hooked up to a separate water faucet that is used only for drinking, coffee and cooking water.The Aqua-Pure does a good job for me. The water tastes just fine, no chlorine taste or smell, no noticeable impurities. Changing it every six months is best in this area. If I wait a year, the water flow is too slow and the the water tastes so much better after the replacement, indicating that I was being too cheap and should have replaced it earlier.Changing it isn't too bad. Bear in mind that both the outer case and the filter cartridge itself have to be screwed in. Both are plastic and so the "feel" is sticky and vague and tightening is not intuitive. Be careful, especially with the cartridge as that little nipple is not exactly robust.So, this system works, is hidden and handy. Are the cartridges worth $25 bucks a shot, at least $50 a year? I would say that if your water is not too horrible and two changes a year are ok, then the price is high, but relatively affordable. If your water is worse, then I think you would be better off with something like a reverse osmosis system. If the water in your area is truly horrible, then you need a special industrial system. Even if the price of filters is ok with you, the Aqua-Pure is for low-flow use at a tap only.And, as with any dedicated water filter, adding a separate faucet can be difficult or look odd. I got a sink with enough openings to make adding a faucet easy enough and it integrates nicely.At some point, order the gasket for the housing. Good to have on hand just in case. Mine has lasted years, but you never know...Three stars because the product works as advertised. Lost two stars for higher than necessary cost and somewhat chancy tightening with plastic to plastic threads.

Came well packaged and worked as directed .
