4.0 out of 5 starsGreat product, but needs frequent replacement
November 17, 2017
Update, September 2019

I've been using this pitcher for over 2 years. The replacement filters seem to last for shorter spans of time. It is getting extremely expensive just to drink clean water. The quality of the filter is exceptional, but PLEASE, Aquagear, design one that can last more than 2 months without completely stopping. It goes from rapidly filtering to barely allowing a single drip through in 1-3 days once it starts slowing down. A drastic decline. I stubbornly use the device that is supposed to clear out the filter to no avail (they have never worked for me).

--

The filter that came with my Aqua Gear pitcher lasted a lot longer than this replacement. It works like a dream for a few weeks and then all but stops filtering. I live in Brooklyn so I may have an intense amount of junk to filter out of my water, but it seems crazy to spend $50 on a new one of these so often. I wish it worked a lot longer.

That said, when it does filter water, the taste, clarity and quality is completely noticeable. I can't even stand to drink tap anymore now that I know how good it CAN taste with this thing. So buy it, but be prepared to make the regular investment in replacing it. One more note: the company sends you a bag to recycle your old filters, so don't toss them.

1.0 out of 5 starsMajor Frustration!
August 22, 2017
We love this pitcher, but have had so much trouble with the filters! They stop working very quickly, after a few weeks, and the pitcher takes hours to fill. Customer service has been wonderful, sending us replacements. But how many times should we have to keep asking before we get one that actually lasts as long as it should? The longest we've been able to go is about 2 1/2 months. For $50 a filter, this is not acceptable. Although we love the pitcher, we will have to look for other options.

1.0 out of 5 starsAquaGear lost a once faithful customer. DO NOT BUY
November 2, 2018
Size: Single PackVerified Purchase
This is my third filter replacement and none have given me trouble until my most recent order. After twisting on the new filter it began to leak from the sides. I made sure to twist it on tight and it was still leaking from the sides. I will be returning this and hopefully the replacement won't be defective like this one...

UPDATE: I received my replacement via exchange and I am extremely disappointed. What happened, Aquagear? You use to be great. While the replacement filter didn't have the same problem as the previous one, it's filtering water way too quickly, obviously faulty. Also this "new" filter appeared to look used. Wonder if this is their "recycling" program at work? I will not be buying again.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Filtration System, Cartridge Setup a Little Screwy
October 1, 2017
Size: Single PackVerified Purchase
So far we really like the quality of this pitcher-based water filtration system. We have very hard water in our area and sometimes mold issues with our aerators. This helps quite a bit to get water that is totally clear and devoid of particulate matter, no odor, etc. And generally, the concept of how you prep the filters — and even the great move by the company of setting up mailers to send the old cartridges back so they can recycle and keep even more plastic out of landfills — is great. Simple, quick.

However, the funneling mechanism they pre-attach to the filter so that you can attach it to the faucet before use, is difficult to use with a typical Kitchen faucet head, which have larger heads than a bathroom sink for example. Also there's this overflow thing they warn you about where you have to watch out for that, constantly adjust the water pressure by small amounts (which can be tricky as some faucets don't have very fine control over this), etc.

If Aquagear were to re-design the way that you prep filters to be more bullet-proof this would be the perfect product IMO. Either way, definitely recommend it. It's worth the minor annoyances that come with trying to prep the filer for use.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Filter Made by an Environmentally Friendly Company
June 15, 2018
Size: Single PackVerified Purchase
What more could you want? Downsizing after living in a home with a whole house water filtration system, I bought this filter along with the Aquagear Pitcher as it was rated in the top 3 of most reviews. Filter last me about 5 months before having to change it. REPLACEMENT DEPENDS ON YOUR WATER CONSUMPTION AND THE AMOUNT OF MINERALS AND CHEMICALS IN YOUR WATER. I refill my pitcher about 3 times per week. I also reflush the filter once a month, unscrew the filter from the tank and place it under running water, shake it, turn it upside down, etc., for a minute or two. That’s what extends the filter’s usage and helps keep down replacement costs. Also, I really like the fact that the company recycles the filters with a prepaid postage label.

1.0 out of 5 starsNO screen/net at the bottom -- fake or inferior product?
March 24, 2018
Size: Single PackVerified Purchase
The original filter that came with the pitcher has a screen/net on the bottom (as you can see in the product photo on this page and also on their own website). However, the replacement filter that I got looks not only noticeably "old" (the plastic is yellowish), but also doesn't have a net/screen on the bottom. See the attached photos. Sure, water goes through much faster, but the net is supposed to be there. This is either a fake product or an inferior/old one and I am returning it.

Also, thank you (/sarcasm), Aquagear -- I can't even ask for a replacement. I have to return it then get a refund, or reorder (no way will I do that because I could get the same shoddy product).

Time to find another pitcher. Really disappointing.

4.0 out of 5 starsFloride and lead catcher
March 17, 2019
Size: Single PackVerified Purchase
I have bought this in the past for my city water. It works well for about a month or 2 before the taste and flow start to change. I use about 1 gallon of filtered water a day some times 2 gallons if I cook with it. Floride is not HEALTHY to drink (or at all really) and this is my main reason for buying this. The local water pipes also tend to contain lead so that is also a good reason to own this. They are expensive but work well to my taste for a good month or two and still get rid of most taste (not nessesarly toxins) for 3ish months. I will attach a pic of my old one disassembled for the curious mind.
Btw clear filter will work too that's what my pitcher says probably same maker.

5.0 out of 5 starsFilter can last a long time but flow is pretty low
April 22, 2019
Size: Single PackVerified Purchase
I was at first disappointed on how soon I needed to replace my filter. But, I think I replaced my first filter sooner than I needed to. At first, the flow through the filter is relatively high. Over time, the flow gradually diminishes. But, I discovered that the flow seems to stabilize at a trickle. The trickle actually works for me. I refill the pitcher when I don't expect to pour any more water for a while (because the pitcher does not pour well when unfiltered water is in the upper reservoir). Using this approach, I can keep the pitcher mostly full on filtered water most of the time.

I ordered a new filter about 5 months ago expecting to, soon afterward, replace the old one (which had 4 months of use on it), but I am still using the old filter. Depending on how much filtered water you use, you might want to keep this in mind.

5.0 out of 5 starsWater Filter Worth Investing In
March 1, 2018
Size: Single PackVerified Purchase
We bought this water filter after going through two other water filters. We are so happy we found this water filter! After moving to Los Angeles, we started using Brita. The water would get funky if left out all day. We then tried Zero Water. We liked the taste but it only lasted for less than 3 weeks and then the taste tasted horrible. After researching, we found that this filter removed more than other filters. We don't have much space in the kitchen so this worked perfectly for us. We changed the filter after 6 months and had been very happy with our order. Plus, they recycle the filters too! Email them and they will send a label to ship back.

3.0 out of 5 starsGreat tasting water but filters last only a month
June 22, 2019
Size: Single PackVerified Purchase
It works great. The water tastes fantastic. However, I keep having to replace the filter every 1-2 months (already ordered 3, and I only got the pitcher in November, which also came with a filter). That makes it 4 filters since November. At $50 per filter, this seems absurdly uneconomical, especially since I see from product reviews, each filter is supposed to last 5-6 months on average. I would be even okay with just 3-4 months, but 1-2 is just too frequent.
The most recent filter that I ordered on April 16 actually lasted the longest (a month and a half) before slowing down significantly, possibly because I started pre-filtering the water in a brita before pouring it into the aquagear. When it started slowing down, I tried flushing the filter per the instructions, but that actually made it worse. Now it barely trickles. I don't understand why this keeps happening, but I certainly can't keep spending $50 on a new filter every month or two. Just sent a message to the seller. We'll see. Hopefully they do stand behind their product.

Also, just ran a water purity test (see photos). The first one is from the tap, the second from a brita, and the 3rd from brita followed by aquagear. The latter seems to actually add some type of particles, since the brita water has fewer. Could be just charcoal, but still. The aquagear water however does taste the best and purest of all three. So go figure.

1.0 out of 5 starsGot blocked in days. Poor quality now
September 29, 2018
Size: Single PackVerified Purchase
After using this last year, we decided to get another one. However quality now is bad. The old filter goes on and on even after a year of use, however, this new one got blocked in a month. After using the pressurized water attachment it opens up for maybe a day.

Water from this has a poor taste. Looks like a bad piece. But older filter works just great. Too bad the quality deteriorated over time instead of improving

EDIT: Tried another spare filter. Barely lasts a month

1.0 out of 5 starsMy old filter that i had before the replacement that was working better than this new one
April 5, 2017
Size: Single PackVerified Purchase
When i received the product the water was filtering very slowly as if it was already used. My old filter that i had before the replacement that was working better than this new one. I believe the product was tampered with. I wrote to customer service about it and they have not responded back to my email regarding the issue.
