Don''t even bother wasting the money on this replacement filter, when you can buy a really good KX Matrikx VOC 02-250-125-975 for about the same price. Or even better, the KX Matrikx PB1 06-250-125-975 NSF-certified 1 micron filter.

The seller page for this ispring combo filter does not state the micron size, but I''m assuming a 5 micron nominal, 20 micron absolute size (the page for the iSpring Counter top filter unit states 5 micron size [presumably nomimal] but does not disclose the absolute size). The GAC (granulated activated carbon) section in this combo filter is loose charcoal, you can hear it shaking around like a maraca, it''s not even packed full or padded with filter fiber to prevent this.

These iSpring combo filters come with iSpring''s under counter and counter top filter systems. It did not produce ANY reduction in total dissolved solids (TDS) from my tap water (using a brand-new, freshly calibrated with 342ppm calibration solution, high quality HM COM100 lab meter to verify my tests results.) My tap water rated at 65 ppm. After filtering through an iSpring counter top system using this filter, and the secondary 5-micron carbon block filter provided with the unit, the water rated at 65ppm! Zero reduction of tds. That says "ineffective" to me.

By comparison, a standard 2-stage PUR dispenser filter knocks off at least 20 ppm tds from the readings, resulting in 45ppm +/tds.

I have ordered a set of KX Matrikx filters to replace this set. I am hoping to see significant results and will post a review on their own pages when they arrive.
