Customer Reviews
The product is great
Collected by Trustpilot.comYou always deliver on time
Collected by Trustpilot.comIt’s a quality built filter with rubber washers on top and bottom of the filter. This way very little water if any can bypass the filter. Cheaper filters don’t have the rubber washers. Also they don’t as much filter Media as the PENTEX ECP5-BB. You get what you pay for.
Collected by Trustpilot.comThe Water filters came quickly. Was exactly what I ordered. Would buy from them again. Here is a photo of my water filter system with the water filter mounted to the wall.
