Worked very well and easy enough to use. The flow rate is pretty slow due to its smaller size so does take some time to collect needed volume(s) for even a 5 gallon batch.

Where I live city water has a horrible taste. I was tired of going to the store to buy water. This filter is a game changer for me. I attach it to my kitchen sink and fill by mash tum, HLT and drinking water dispenser. The only draw back is that you have to filter it slowly, less than a gallon a minute. So it takes about 10 minutes to filter enough water to make a batch. It is a small price to pay for good/ clean tasting water. The instructions say it is good for 800 gallons or 1 year. With the city water I have I guessing 600 gallons and 9 months, Still a good value for me.

Time will tell. Used water to mash 2 batches of beer that are presently in fermenters. Water has clean taste with no chlorine. Unit is big with good flow. Also used to brew coffee with noticeable improvement in taste. Would recommend.

I sold filtration systems for over 25 years. The filter & housing works very well. When you order please keep in mind that you need to open the housing, pull the filter & out unwrap it, & and pull the papers out. To remove the housing you’ll need a spanner wrench. I would also recommend replacing the polyvinyl tubing on the out line to silicone. The poly tubing can be very rigid and difficult to maneuver

Works fine right out of the box.

I trust my municipal water source. I brought this for making several kit winesand was impressed with the volume I was able to filter.

After I stopped the leaks it works fine for my purpose.

I didn't notice there was a plastic wrap over the filter inside the unit and no instructions. But overall I like how it works and was solid on first try.

Great unit. works as designed and well worth the money saved having to buy gallons and bottles of water. You honestly cannot go wrong. The only thing I may recommend is a longer outlet hose depending on if you are mounting it and how far you need to run it

Easy to use and great filtration.

With first use, it worked just fine. Easy to set up and use so now I don't have to buy filtered water or use my refrigerator's filtered water.

You cannot beat this for the price. I tried to build one from the local big box hardware store but getting the right fittings was impossible.

Works well, cannot taste chlorine in tap water after filtering.

You can really taste the difference, it's very heavy duty and super easy to use.

A lot of chlorine in my city water. Can taste the difference.

durable and works excellent!

Pretty impressed with the product. It looked like brass fittings in the photo but I actually got stainless steel with the exception of the hose barb. Was sick of buying bottled water every time I brewed. First batch turned out pretty good. Hoping for more great beers to come with this thing.

Great product, good quality. Looking forward to many brews with it.

Really improved the water quality from my tap. Wet tastes much better after using it.

This is a great solution to marginal water. The flow rate is exceptionally good. It can be mounted conveniently to a kitchen faucet with a quick disconnect and works very well. A useful addition would be a mounting bracket or a stand.

This is nearly a plug-n-play piece of gear. It cleaned up the smell and taste of water very quickly.

Works great. I recommend it.

Does exactly what it is supposed to. Filters the hose water to remove chlorine, making for a better brew for those who don't want to get too crazy when dealing with water chemistry.

I can't believe I waited this long to buy a water filter. I brewed 2 batches of beer over one weekend and for the cost of what I would have spent on bottled water, I bought this filter system. The water tastes great and I'm sure the beer will also. And I used to have a mental block of only buying the amount of water I thought I needed, and sometimes ran out of sparge water. Now, I reach my target amount and then just keep the water going and heat a couple gallons more than what I calculated. No more running out of sparge water. No more mental block. I'm cured!!!

I used to buy jugs of water at the store, but for as often as I brew, it started to add up quick. Then I did refills. Lugging a bunch of containers to the store and back was also a huge pain. Decided to jump on this filter and man, I'm glad I did!Now I not only save time, but I get decent water for my brews. Since it filters out chlorine, I still get the mineral content from my city water (which is pretty decent). Totally worth the money just for the time (and money) you will save!

It works well and beats the heck out of buying gallons of bottled water. Note: The cartage is sealed in plastic. You need to take it off before you use it.

Saves a lot of money on bottled water!!

I've used it so far for two batches of beer. I wish that some instructions had been included. I did find a little on the filter manufacturer's website, which suggest a flow rate not more than 1 gallon per minute, so that's what I did. I collected about 10 gallons before starting to brew in gallon jugs. It is a little tricky to get it to seal well so that it isn't dribbling, but as long as you keep it in your sink while using, that doesn't matter much.I haven't noticed a change in the flavor of either the water or beer, so maybe my water doesn't really need this level of filtration.

I was impressed with the weight and strength of the materials in this filter - it can take a lot of water pressure without leaking. The old "household" 10 inch filter housing I had leaked all the time and drove me nuts!This filter produces clean, odorless water even from my tap water which has a noticeable chlorine odor. All in all, I wish I had bought this one years ago and I'm very pleased with it's performance.

Highly recommended - more cost efficient and effective than carting around jugs of bottled water. As other reviewers and MoreBeer recommend, need to adjust the flow through the filter to just under one (1) gallon/minute.

I should have bought one of these as part of my initial brewing kit. My beers taste so much better, no off flavors. I even tried distilled before getting this filter. This is a must if your water doesn’t taste good.
