"WHCF-SR Replacement Filter for WHCF-SUF"2010-05-18 By Ben C.A. Nettle This filter acts as a direct replacement for the Whirlpool WHCF-SUF Undersink Filter (WHCF-SR is the Whirlpool Filter Replacement Name).
Basically it does everything the original does, but costs about 1/3rd less than the official replacement (last time I bought one anyhow). As the directions say, make sure to have something to catch the extra water during the changeover (it loses a little bit of the extra in the filter, but doesn't spill much). Otherwise it's a very quick changeover.
One thing I noticed is that the first bit of water was a little more aerated than normal, but that resolved itself after a couple days.
No complaints.
"Easy Replacement"2009-10-29 By J. Sloan (Nashville, TN) I bought this to replace the filter from the Whirlpool undersink water filter I got at home depot. Cheaper than their replacement and the package is prettier.
"Just what I needed for my Whirlpool under-sink water filter"2009-04-03 By Jane S (Glen Burnie, MD United States) I was so glad to find this filter to replace my Whirlpool under-sink water filter - and yes, it's exactly the same. Easy to install and replace, an inexpensive way of improving water quality. Just don't forget it filters on cold, not on the hot water at your kitchen sink.

"Works well with a metal adaptor--do NOT use plastic ones"2010-01-24 By Monica (Eastern US) I was pleased with this Brita filter system at first because I did not encounter any problems with the unit leaking or falling off, until my apartment management changed my kitchen faucet into a Delta 2012. The maintenance guy informed me that I needed to use a metal adaptor.
The Brita filter package did come with two adapters, and one of them fits the faucet, but it lasted all but a couple of hours--only a few cups of water. It was leaking and also would fall off very easily. Finally, I took the plastic adaptor to a hardware store and asked if they had a metal one that size. I did find and buy one and now the system seems to work. The adaptor costs about 3 dollars (2.86 to be exact, where I bought it) and it's called an aerator adaptor, model number 420556 [ with O/M 1-5-50 after the model number on the package). The package says that it "converts standard (15/16"-27) female faucet thread to standard (55/64-27) male thread."
"Save Yourself Aggravation!"2009-12-08 By Cleo Squire (Alexandria, VA USA) When Step 2 of the product direction booklet reads: If the (faucet) adapter does not fit, call Britta Consumer Services at 1-800-24-BRITA (U.S.) or 1-800-387-6940 (Canada), it's obvious the manufacturer knows there's a problem with the adapters included in the kit. They're very cheaply made plastic that are much too short to support the weight of the filter. Unfortunately, the unwitting consumer spends time and gets soaked trying to make the thing work- after all, they wouldn't include totally useless adapters...or would they? Calling the Consumer Services number gets you a very nice real person who happily sends you much higher quality adapters that work immediately. The nice person's response when I asked why Brita doesn't simply include these adapters with the kit in the first place: "I honestly don't know!". My advice is to call Consumer Services (number above) when you order the filter- then you'll only have to wait another week or so after your filter arrives to receive adapters that work. You'll save yourself the aggravation- and the accompanying shower- you'll likely endure trying to make the thing work with the adapters Brita supplies in the kit.
"Clean and great filter."2009-11-08 By Anton Piskulyov I bought this filter because i got tired to buy water bottles all the time. And I must say that the water tastes great with the filter. Nice that I don't have to worry about buying water bottles anymore.
"Britta Water Filtration System"2009-11-01 By Garry W. Joerger We have been using this system for a few years now. Have no problems or complaints. The durration of the filter will depend largely on how much filtrated water you use. This does what it is supposed to do and does it well.
"Base breaks too often - water tastes good though"2009-09-28 By Chloe Sowers (New York) I've been using Brita faucet filters since 1998. The base keeps breaking because it is cheap plastic. There is no way to take it apart and repair it. I've had 3-4 and I'm fed up replacing them so I'm going to buy another brand. When I first bought it I was worried about how to replace the battery for the light. No need to worry because it will break before then.

"Cracks Quickly"2010-04-17 By D. Weber (Palo Alto, CA United States) Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R27U9NJGECTVA6 After just a couple of months, the filter developed a crack so bad that couldn't even be solved by duct tape. Useless filter.
"PUR Faucet Mt Water Filter"2010-04-15 By Robert A. Lutz (New Windsor,NY) Purchased as replacement for 3 yr old filter which starter to leak hope it last for next 3 yrs
"Me too..."2010-04-14 By Zack Davisson (Seattle, WA, USA) Ever wish you had read the reviews first? Like just about everyone here, I bought this "PUR 2-Stage Vertical White Faucet Mount" and had it work just fine for about a month before it developed cracks and started spraying water all over me.
The problem is with the design. The filter is just too heavy, and it slowly puts pressure on the side connecting to the faucet. Eventually little hairline cracks will emerge, and the water will start to seek out those cracks, widening them and spraying you with a faceful of water every time you try and use it.
These side-mounted vertical faucet filters seem like a great deal, but the design is fundamentally flawed.
"Vertical Model is the Worst"2010-03-22 By nyc I bought two of these vertical models (one for me and one for my parents) and they are the worst because they only last a couple of months. After that, the filtered water hardly comes out of the filter even after you put in a new cartridge. The first couple of months, a small stream of water comes out of the filter and then the stream becomes small drips and never quite function the same. At first I thought it was just my mount, but the other mount did the same exact thing, so it's the model and not the individual mount. However, I later bought the PUR horizontal models, and they work well for at least a couple of years before those crack. So, don't bother with the vertical models, get yourself the horizontal models.
"Great price but poor quality"2010-02-19 By caliguy I decided to purchase this because it was cheaper than buying filter alone. Product does not last long but for the price you can not complain. Every three month I buy a new one because it starts to leak bad.

"Great Quality"2010-03-16 By Prrpl Rayne (Somewhere, TX) I am more satisfied with this Clear Flow filter than I was with Brita and Pur filters. Water filtered by Clear Flow tastes better than what Brita produced, and beats Pur in product design. It is very sturdy and has a nice look. It was easy to install, but I recommend you flush it out for 7-8 minutes instead of the 5 minutes you're instructed to.
One thing not listed in Amazon's description is that the filter is a 300 gallon filter. The owner's manual states this: "Kff-300 Series models will last for 300 gallons or up to 12 months assuming a daily usage of 3 1/4 quarts of filtered water." Whether it lasts a year or not depends on how much water you use per day.
"Works great, saves $$"2006-05-05 By A Person This filter works very well to improve the taste of tap water. It is also far more economical than buying replacement cartridges for a nondisposable filter, as these cartridges can be quite pricey and get used up too quickly to warrant the price. I use filtered water for cooking and I find that this Clear Flow disposable filter only lasts about 5 months for our family, which is surprising since it claims to last one year. It is still the best deal for us (we've tried many filter systems) so we will continue to purchase.

This innovative, eco-friendly pitcher improves the taste and healthfulness of your tap water.
A five-stage filtration process works to thoroughly remove dissolved solids from water.
The included TDS meter ensures that you're getting the best-tasting water possible. View larger.
More Effective, Affordable, and Environmentally Friendly Than Other Filters Even if you live in a municipality that cleans or treats water, water can pick up chemicals on its way from the treatment plant to your faucet, giving your tap water a metallic or chlorinated taste. Water that's purified with a ZeroWater Pitcher, however, tastes the way water should: crisp, clean, and fresh.
Tested and certified by the Water Quality Association and NSF International for removal of several minerals, ZeroWater is the only filtration system that fits the FDA definition of purified bottled water. And at a fraction of the cost of ordinary carbon filters.
The ZeroWater pitcher not only improves the taste of your tap water, it also helps to improve the environment. When you use the ZeroWater Pitcher, you'll reduce your use of plastic water bottles that clog up landfills and harm ecosystems. You'll also contribute to water conservation, because unlike reverse-osmosis systems, ZeroWater is gravity operated and doesn't waste electricity or water.
Five-Stage Filtration System for Water That Scores a Perfect "000" At the heart of every drop of water that's purified by a ZeroWater Pitcher is an independent, laboratory-calibrated water tester called a TDS meter. TDS stands for "Total Dissolved Solids" and represents the amount of dissolved substances that can negatively affect the way water tastes.
Unlike conventional gravity-fed or carbon water filters that remove only certain substances from your water, ZeroWater's patented Ion Exchange System with Five-Stage Technology provides the only filtered water to measure an absolute "000" on the TDS scale, which means that 100% of dissolved solids have been completely removed.
To help put this in perspective, meter readings for tap water average between 075 and 300. Conventionally filtered water measures between 030 and 500, and bottled water measures between 000 and 350. Unlike the alternatives, with ZeroWater you can be sure you'll get 100% great-tasting water.
Battery-Powered Meter Makes it Easy to Test Your Water The beauty of the ZeroWater Pitcher is that you don't have to accept purity claims at face value. Test your water yourself with the included meter and watch as the zeros come together to ensure that you're getting the best-tasting water possible.Powered by two easy-to-replace 1.5-volt button cell batteries (included), this meter also lets you know the status of your filter. For instance, if your meter reads "006," it's time to replace the filter.
Sleek, Contemporary Design for Ease of Use This single-chamber pitcher features a sleek, patent-pending design that allows for easy storage in your refrigerator door. For added convenience, a handy dispenser at the bottom of the pitcher's handle allows you to access water without removing the pitcher from the fridge.
What's in the Box Pitcher, one filter, and one TDS meter.
Use the TDS meter to determine how many gallons of ZeroWater--water that measures an absolute "000" on the TDS scale--you will get per filter. View larger.

"Please do not hate the "haters" and jump to the conclusion if you just bought it."2010-05-10 By LAOP (OC, CA USA) Obviously I am not the first one who reported the problem... and I suspect that the chemical odor is deliberately released into the water to remind (force) you to buy another filter.
Initially bought a double-filter dispenser at Target, fell in love with it and ordered this small pitcher and replacement filters from Amazon. I am now onto the 7th filter (4th pair) on the dispenser with very light use (2-people office) in a matter of a few months. I could live with the short filter life if not for the strong chemical odor it releases after it is no longer fresh. At first I thought that I got a bad filter and there was a leakage but then it happened to every one of them -- and I ordered them from different places at different time. I do not understand the cause. I mean I can not taste the odor from the unfiltered tap water. The only explanation is that they did it on purpose to remind you that it is the time to replace the expensive filter. I hope the chemical is not harmful. This is very bad business practice.
BTW, the filter is very bulky and takes almost half of the pitcher, takes long time to filter. So there is no magic that it does the job "better" than a filter of 1/4 of the size. So please stopping bragging it making "zero" water. And I seriously doubt that it makes ecnomocal or environmental sense by using them.
I do not recommend Zero Water.
"LOVE this product!"2010-05-09 By Woofie Mom (Pacific NW USA) I have a VERY sensitive stomach and cannot drink water straight from the tap. I previously tried both the Brita & Pur filtration pitchers (and faucet mounted filters) and still could NOT tolerate the water!
But with the ZeroWater Pitcher & filter system I have NOT had a bit of stomach problems!
Yes, it costs more than the other brands. Yes, it is slower to filter the water (which in this case is a very good thing!). But it removes SO MUCH MORE of the chemicals added by cities (we have a LOT of chlorine in our water, to the point where it smells like you've used bleach and you're just running water!) and it removes naturally occurring things that affect not just the taste (like too much iron), but your health! The electronic tester is great for finding out when you need to change the filter (if your tongue or stomach haven't already told you!). Since I am the only one using my pitcher I find that each filter will usually last 4 months. When I travel I take the pitcher with me which has saved me a lot by not needing to buy bottled water. If the water you are filtering has a lot of minerals in it the filter will not last as long, but it sure makes the water a lot more palatable!!! All in all it is very much worth the price!
I will NOT be without my ZeroWater Pitcher & filter again!!!
"When does zero not equal zero?"2010-05-08 By A. Dowd (West Union, Oregon United States) When consumers fail to understand that removing all "total dissolved solids" from water in no way means that all *impurities* have been removed. The vast majority of unwanted compounds in our tap water *aren't* TDSs, they're molecules like TCE, chlorite, and traces of someone else's antibiotics: few of which are appreciably reduced by "Zerowater"'s filter. Another important thing to remember is that some TDS are great: namely, minerals. Magnesium is fab for your heart, and the rest of the mineral gang are important, too. Americans are already lacking in a lot of minerals (hint: they're in vegetables -- eat some), so if you opt for this kind of filter, supplementation should be considered. Simple carbon block filtration will cut down on most of the nasties, and I'd recommend one of that type over ZeroWater's gimmick. Myopically focusing on zeroing out total dissolved solids means missing the bigger picture.
"Zero Water = Zero Minerals"2010-05-05 By Prem S. Lekhi (Forest Hills, NY United States) We have under the sink dual stage water filter that we have had for 3 years and serves us well. When I tested the tap water and water from "other" filter - both readings were 30 to 40 - not zero. So I called the distributor for an explanation. According to him - zero water is "dead water" devoid of any mineral contents. I buy that argument. All "good" bottled waters from around the world are "mineral" water - they have mineral content and hence they have "taste" as well and arguable are good for you.
I think this is an excellent marketing technique and certainly useful under certain conditions, places but this is not water I'd drink every day.
Cheers
"It's Excellent!"2010-05-05 By Jonathan (New York, NY USA) This is an excellent product that does EXACTLY what it says it will do. However, just because it does remove so many contaminants doesn't necessarily mean your water's going to taste awesome. There are other factors that go into the taste of water. For instance, I find that Poland Springs water registers about 20-25 on the meter and personally it tastes better to me than my local tap water once it's been run through this filter and registers 0.
With that said, my tap water definitely tastes much better than it does at its natural reading of about 250! It really is hard to drink when it's unfiltered, but when it's filtered it's a pleasure to drink. Not perfect according to my personal taste, but definitely perfectly drinkable.
I wanted to address a few points others have made:
1. The time it takes to filter - yes, it does take awhile to filter. To fill the bottle, you have to fill the top part TWICE and let it filter through. I timed it tonight and it takes about 10-12 minutes to filter one round. So to fill the bottle would take between 20-25 minutes total. Well, once you know this - you can usually plan around it. I fill the top once and usually just let it sit while go off and do other things. I try to remember to come back anytime after about 15 minutes and fill it again.
Also, keep in mind that the reason it does take so long is because it's doing such a thorough job of filtering your water! If it didn't take as long it wouldn't be getting your water so clean.
2. One reviewer complained that after about 4 weeks his water began to taste fishy. He also said he didn't want to change the filter when the TDS meter read 6. He said he was willing to let it go to 150. But the ZeroWater documentation that comes with the filter specifically states that if you don't change it at just about 6, that the water will begin to taste funny. I called them and asked why and they told me that because at 6 - the filter is so full of contaminants that it just starts making newly filtered water taste funny. Because at that point the water is not only going through the filter, but it's also going through all the contaminants in the filter!
Makes sense. So all the reports you've read about water tasting funny - are true. But that's what happens when you use the filter too long. I too thought I wouldn't mind the TDS (total dissolved solids) level going higher than 6. Because my favorite water - Poland Springs was around 25. So I thought I could go to 25. But sure enough the water started tasting ever so slightly funny at 6. I actually let it go to 9 but by that time it really didn't taste good so I changed the filter. It didn't taste fishy as some have reported, but it definitely tasted a little funky. The company says that what happens after a TDS level of 6 is reached will vary from water system to water system. For me it might taste funky - while for someone else it might taste fishy. It all depends on what's in your water system to start with - and the combination of contaminants that are trapped in the filter.
The good news was that by that point I had already used the filter for about 5 weeks! So that came in at about 60% of what I would have paid for bottled water! So it did save a little money! But the best part is - no more carrying heavy cartons of water around! And no more having a thousand little bottles to throw out each week!
By the way when you read some of the reviews that state the filter didn't last very long - that doesn't really tell you anything unless you know several factors. One, you'd have to know how many people were drinking from it and how much they used. Two, you'd have to know what the TDS level of the water they're filtering is. If they tell you the filter only lasted 2 weeks and it's feeding four people and their TDS level is 400, then they're actually getting really good mileage out of it!
So for your info, my review covers the use of just one person who consumes 1 full Zerowater container a day. And the TDS level of the water I'm filtering is about 250. So if you know the TDS of your water, and how much you would consume, you can compare. If yours is 125 - then you could expect to get twice as much use out of each filter.
3. Size of the container and filtering time. The container holds about half a gallon of water. For one person this should be enough for the whole day. For two people or more it seems it would start to be a bit of a hassle keeping it filled. But for one person it's fine.
One reviewer complained that the size of the filter itself was too big and displaces too much water in the container - causing it not to hold as much water as it could. Well, all that is true. However, what he didn't figure is that the filter has to be large in order to get the TDS level to 0! The little Brita & Pur filters are much smaller, but they do basically nothing! They filter out maybe 25% of the contaminants. This filters out ALL of the dissolved solids. And it's just the physics of filtering. The larger the filter, the more contaminants it will filter out. People have been really unrealistic and un-knowledgeable in a lot of these reviews.
Due to the physics of filtering, the filter has to be large and therefore the time it takes the water to run through it will be long. And that explains the complaints of some that it's slow to filter. It's slow because it's doing such a thorough job.
As to the complaints that the container should hold more water... I agree. It would be nice if it was larger and held more water. And it probably could be a little bit larger. But at its current size I've already seen a few complaints that it's too big for some refrigerators! If it was any larger it really would be too big. People would start to complain that it takes up all the space in their refrigerators!
Due to the necessary size of the filter, there is a rather large water displacement in the storage container that causes it to hold less water than it otherwise would.
I get around this problem by pouring all the water into an insulated stainless steel pitcher that I got from Starbucks a few years ago. This works great because the pitcher holds the exact same amount the Zerowater container holds. And the pitcher keeps the water cold all day. So while I'm pouring water out of the pitcher into a glass all day, the new fresh container of Zerowater is cooling down in the refrigerator. By the time I'm ready for another pitcher, the Zerowater is nice and cold and ready to go. I fill up the pitcher, and then I fill up the Zerowater container. Works out pretty well.
