"its works ok i guess, its hard to tell the difference at the low end (between 0-80ppm), i have a water softener and i wanted to routinely check to see how its doing, try something else."
"The test allowed me to estimate roughly 270 GPM based on matching it to the supplied color chart."
"Had new water softener and reverse osmosis systems installed and I wanted to monitor my water."
"We have hard water and I wanted to test it before buying a water softener."
"I was having problems with my water softer."
"Seemed to work but I have no way of verifying the accuracy."
"works great - tested water before installing water softener and after installation. before was worst possible (which we knew) and after running the water softener for a day - it tested at exactly what we have the softener set at."

"My daughter used these for a science experiment."
"I would have returned it but I needed the test results quickly so I just used the 4 that came."
"Without the strips, it is useless."
"this product does NOT come with instructions as advertised."

"Very sensitive."
"Everything worked goods sirection."
"Also, the strip's natural color before even using it, is already between 0 - 50 ppb. 40 or 50 is above most accepted limits."
"I bought this to check the mercury level in our water hoping there would be can color chart for reference but there isn't one so I have no idea what the strips indicate other than parts per million."

"The MAXL seems to be the best single-cartridge (but 2-stage) water filter I could find. The answer is: Faucet and hardware (to install in an available hole in your sink), hoses to connect to both the new faucet and to the water supply, green plastic mount that connects the cartridge to the hoses and attaches to the wall, T adapter that goes between the shutoff valve and the existing faucet's cold water hose, and a little "6 month" reminder timer strip."
"These pipes have tons of advantages over copper pipes, but we found that our water tasted TERRIBLE, like chemical-laden plastic."
"However, I do recommend (as we did and many other reviewers) to get it professionally installed and have the plumber use their parts in place of some of these flimsy connectors."
"Cons: - The threads of the provided plastic plumbing fittings are easily deformed and stripped; I had to buy replacement parts from the hardware store."
"was easy to install and water is ok. it took time to get used to the taste."
"I would give it 5 stars but the connector it comes with really makes things more difficult and a more shirty experience."
"For a single stage filter that filters like a two stage filter this is very hard to beat."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It was extremely easy for me because I was replacing an existing RO (Reverse Osmosis) filter system, so the plumbing was pretty much in place. All I had to do was remove the RO filter system and take the existing tubing and plug it in. However, to be fair, I've only had the Filtrete system for two days, so if anything changes I'll update my review. Plus I was able to remove the five gallon tank from under the sink and replace it with a very small profile (less than four inches square base profile) filter holder. I would recommend anyone considering purchasing the Filtrete system to go to Youtube and look for installation tips."
