Special Price! for Everpure H-300 Replacement Cartridge With Special Pomotions & eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25. Read More...
I've been using this system for our 4 person family for over 4 years. While the filters are pricey, Amazon sells them for about the best price around. The filter comes with a one year battery powered alarm, however this may not be the best indicator since the longevity of the filter depends on the rate you use your water not the number of months that pass. It would be nice if Everpure had a gallon meter on the dispenser - THAT would be accurate! Overall excellent product.
Great tasting water, dead simple to install and maintain, but it can get clogged very easily such that water flow slows to a very low rate ie. 15 mins/gal!After two weeks the filter slowed to a nearly unusable flow rate. I found out that this is because it has a small micron filter and any sediment that comes into the filter will begin to clog it. So, if they dig up a pipe around you and some dirt flows in your filter, or if you have a bit heavy sediment the flow will be greatly reduced to the point of being useless.So far it seems you need to also install a prefilter to prevent this.
I've had an Everpure filter on our household drinking water for almost 20 years. I recently ordered a replacement filter cartridge. I found that my model was discontinued, but that the H-300 would fit.When I tried to remove the old cartridge, it was stuck. I called Everpure for some tips, and, instead of selling me a new unit, they sent me one free of charge!It installed easily and works great.
Although these cartridges are expensive, they actually last far longer than recommended. With a family of two adults, our cartridge lasts about 2.5 to 3 years. I have had this system in other homes I have lived inn and will continue to install one when we move again.
The Good: The water filter works well. The water tastes great and is an economical and eco-friendly alternative from bottle water.The Bad: Although I received a competitive price for this replacement filter on my Everpure H300 system at Amazon, I needed two plumbers and practically three weeks of badgering to Everpure to get a new head for my filtration unit that was not accepting the replacement filter. The older (3-4 years+) heads on the Everpure units are poorly engineered. The newer heads are significantly better.The Ugly: Everpure does not have a protocol or any policy to recycle their used filters. I called the company's headquarters and was told to throw the used filter in the garbage. Everpure provides a healthly alternative to tap water for the home and office. That's great. But they are far from being an environmentally sustainable company. Their filters have been absorbing heavy metals, toxins and whatever else may be in the tap water over a long period of time. It is unacceptable to have a policy by default that their used filters be thrown into the waste stream. I will be following up with Everpure's management on this issue...
IF you need a filter for your water dispenser, get it here ... i did a lot of cost comparisons and this was the most cost effective. if you need this particular one, there's only one you can use and i found that the prices are all over the place. not only did i get free shipping - and a REMINDER service for when to replace it (no additional charge), i saved OVER $50 by buying this via amazon.com vs. the local retailer in my area ... this was a no brainer! thank you!
