    Good filter cartridge, poor quality TDS tester

    The water filter cartridge itself is just like always — it works well and I have no complaints about the filtration quality. I’ve used this type before and it performs as expected. However, the included TDS tester is very low quality. The battery does not stay in place and keeps popping out, which makes the tester unreliable and frustrating to use. Because of this issue, I can’t properly trust the readings. Overall, the filter cartridge is good, but the TDS tester needs better build quality.

    Works well, no complaints. One

    Works well, no complaints. One thing though: the 2032 coin battery that came with the tester was dead. Once I installed a fresh battery, it worked as advertised . . .

    Wish I could review

    I had a plumber install the new ro system. Later I realized I never saw the tester. Maybe he accidentally threw away?

    Super easy to use, quick results.

    This is a quick easy way to find out what your tds level is of the water coming into your house, then compare it to water coming out of my APEC RO system.

    Poor instructions

    Not very clear what the reading means when you get it. The instructions don’t tell you much about what the reading means.

    Great water quality

    This is a great reverse osmosis system. We have a well and it took my dissolved solids down from 323 to 22. It was easy to install, took a little over an hour, and really improved the taste of our coffee and ice cubes. We feel much safer drinking out water now.
