received my Premium Healthy Living filters--no indication of 2200 mpr on them??Is this legit??

Dear Doyle - same problem here - generic 3M packaging with no clue as to MPR rating. This could be significant as the lowest rated MPR may be 1/2 of the price of the highest rated filter.

The filters I received have 2200 mpr on the front label below "Elite Allergen reduction filter".

Same here. No idea if it's legit. Mine mentioned the year 2009 which is pretty disappointing. I searched on the part number printed on them "34-8702-9702-4" without finding anything. Actually printed on the filter is only "high performance filter" which matches neither the pictured description or the "premium healthy living". Mine also have numerous holes (about every square inch) in the plastic cover. Makes me wonder how well they've aged since 2009 exposed to air. There's also a suspicious sticker over a barcode (51141-90101). I couldn't remove the sticker without destroying the barcode, but it's just transparent enough under a bright light to read it.

The cover paper inside the package does say 2200 mpr on mine. Yours doesn't?

I can confirm your findings, I have two boxes (6 each) of Filtrete Premium Healthy Living Filter that do not contain mpr data. I am checking with 3M and will get back to you.

The package I received does state 1 micron sediment water filter cartridge on the label. I have been using them for several months now with no complaints.

For normal use I have used these, and they are great "3m 2097 P100": 3M 2097 P100 Particulate Filter with Organic Vapor Relief, 1 PairI used these "3m 6001" and they seemed good too: 3M 6001 Organic Vapor Cartridge, 1-Pair

I use the Filtrete Premium Healthy Living Filter, 20-Inch by 20-Inch by 1-Inch, 2-Pack by Filtrete and they are factory packaged and definitely the genuine article.

it is my opinion that your R/O membrane is not working properly. I have only used Watts (Phoenix) filters in the past, and when my system was new, it reduced TDS by 92% or more. After many years, I replaced the membrane with a new 75GPD filter, and my rejection ration was 94%. I expect this new filter to last at least 10 years, but it cost $115.00. It would appear to me you got what you paid for, and the results seem to be very poor.

Same Model , new advertising, think about it, germs stuck in a permanent filter ? Model went from 50250-n permanent filter to 50250-s long life filter.

Dear D. Lester: No, no MERV rating anywhere on the item nor on the packaging/box. Said filter is a basic, fiberglass-type of filter. BTW, I purchased one case of these filters, there was suppose to be 12 in the case (case count of 12), but the box, undamaged and unopened, only had 11 filters in it. Good luck.

Yes, this is a 1900, MRV12 filter with a pressure drop of .21 and captures 90% of all particles. I called Filtrete and asked. Too bad Amazon couldn't figure that out! Also, the "Healthy Living" line is made only for Amazon, that's why you won't see it on Filtrete's website. It's just their normal filters with seemingly less information and different packaging.

You can get them directly from the manufacturer, P3 International. Give them a call at 1 + (212) 741 - 7289. Filters are ten dollars each (when you factor in shipping - $7 without shipping).

I'm sorry I don't know. In my case they were not the correct filters despite what was said; we finally went to Shark directly to get the right filters.

I don't know yet. I'm not past the extra filters they include in the packaging yet. I'm sure they'd like us to buy the replacement filters. I can't get at my installation instructions right now, but I'm betting it might say there.

I believe the High performance is equivalent to the HGN filter. The Premium is equivalent to the HG model. See the Leveluk Enagic website for more details....

No my filters were in the correct box and for my model. I have bought filters a couple of times from this site and had no issues.

Alex,I installed the pre-filter. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem and even with the pre-filter the main filters clogged up in about three weeks. I live in NYC and our water is consistently rated very highly. I've never heard that it is high in sediments. I was happy with the old filters for a few years and was on the Water for Life program. After my recent experiences I cancelled WFL and am searching for a non-Aquasana replacement system.

Sorry can't really answer this accurately because they sent me the wrong filter.

The 4+ count filters that come in the unmarked polybags cannot be verified as being the actual Cusinart product. Comparing prices between those being sold here and elsewhere in their retail packaging vs. the unmarked polybags (as well as some others with generic retail packaging) leads me to believe that the polybagged ones being sold here are not genuine Cuisinart product. The nasty thing is, the 3rd party sellers here know that but they continue to sell them here as if they were the genuine article. Amazon really, really does have a problem with counterfeit products in so many areas it is getting hard to tell what is what. And the reviews muddy the water further when one seller is selling the real deal, and the next is selling a misrepresented knockoff, and then the reviews don't line up because the reviewers are in fact commenting on two or more actual products.

The MERV rating is 11. The MPR rating is 1100. An MPR range of 1000 to 1500 is within the 11 MERV rating. I found this information on the Filtrete website.
