Great but does not last 6 months-more like 2 months

I had to give it a try. My water was bitter even after filtered (Brita or Pur). I am located near Cambridge, MA. Plenty of old homes with "God only knows" what types of water pipes. Good News is: My water taste has improved with this filter. It is easy to put on and use. Bad News: Unfortunately, it will not last 6 months. More like 2 months and then needs to be replaced. It is very expensive to live and drink in NE. I am now researching whole house filters.

best of 3, by far

I used the PUR version for about 2 years. Filter cartridge needed frequent replacement (about every 6 weeks) and was expensive. Tried DUPONT version for a few months. Filters were cheaper but only lasted about 3 weeks. Water flow with both brands was slooow. Found CRYSTAL QUEST on line. Ordered it. First 2 were defective but CQ was very nice and shipped replacements quickly. I have now had it for 7 months. We like it. It was a tremendous improvement over our first two. Replaced first filter about a month ago. Water flow is a great improvement over the prior 2 brands. Now we are updating our kitchen and we are upgrading to a under sink CRYSTAL QUEST water filter system.
