Everpure VOC #1 Replacement Cartridge

• Cartridge replacement is easy just like changing a light blub
• Not for sale in California

We installed the Everpure ROM III reverse-osmosis system when remodelling our kitchen at the end of 2009, and it produced delicious water for about a year, which is about how long this and one of the other three rather expensive cartridges are expected to last. The most expensive cartridge (list price $360) lasts for 2-3 years... how nice, huh?

Once one year had slipped by, however, we''ve been unable to purchase this particular replacement cartridge because of some "certification" issue within California. Really NO ONE will sell this item to a California resident. We are now stuck with a $1000 R/O system that now only provides delicious water if you''re a fish!! (...assuming fish like pond water!?) I''m so frustrated with Everpure over this and must now accept that we either replace this entire system or perhaps get used to the taste of chlorine and go back to drinking plain old water with fluoride and all the other junk our city is authorized to send our way. UGH!!

Bottom line I''d say don''t buy Everpure if you live in California or Vermont. I have yet to determine an explanation as to why it apparently does not perform up to par enough for our overlords, but passes for the rest of you, nor why we were able to buy this package to begin with! double-UGH!!
