Works, every time.

After buying, trying, breaking and returning the lightest, the very light and the pretty light "plastic" water filters, I decided to go with quality over weight savings. This is not a lightweight filter. However, it is the BEST filter when you must have clean, safe drinking water. It is a breeze to use and to maintain. I just used mine for a month straight and had NO problems and did not have to clean it once. It's hard to spend so much $$ on a water filter when less expensive options are out there but trust me, this is an investment you WON'T REGRET because it may very well be the last water filter you buy - it's that good.
