Yep, very happy so far. Used it for more than a year now. Changed several filters. The only drawback is that I use non standard tap and the fitting for it is not very good. You have to be careful not to run the water too strong trough the filter.

@@NikolaTubeNikolov why you changed several filters ? One Philips filter should filter 2400L which is equal to 2 years of Brita Maxtra filters.

@@user-hk7tv2cm8w on the filter there’s a sticker with a diagram that show the colors of the cotton part of the filter. These colors represent different stages of the life of the filter. So you will know when to replace it. Also with time the filter starts clogging and the water starts going really slow. At least that is my experience. With our water one filter is usable for 3-4 months.

Yes. That’s the whole purpose of this filter. However our water can be used for drinking even without filtering. the problem is that it smells of chlorine and the filter removes the smell.

It depends on where you are. In my country, the filtered water can be used for cooking, but it is not recommended for drinking.

Only way to avoid it is to not run the water too strong when filtering. It is a bummer yeah but no matter what I did it still leaks. Also be sure that the opening is parallel to the hose’s end. With time as the filter clogs it gets even worse.

But you have maintained the balance and the water has run smoothly, how did you get that

@@Garyheat you get that when the filter is new. Maybe only trough the first month of usage.

Actually it removes a lot of the chlorine from the water and probably some other unpleasant chemicals. We now have it for more than 2 years and I'm very happy with this filter. I was tired of buying bottled water.
