I am really happy with the sponge filter. It works great on my small 3 gallon tank. I am glad I found this sponge filter because it works much better than other expensive outside filters. My betta appreciates the low water current as well.

I bought this filter for my 46 gallon Bow front, I received it a couple of hours ago and it's been working great. It is easy to set up, The priming takes seconds, and It comes with media (carbon, ceramic rings, sponges). Overall I'm very happy with this filter, and I would definitely recommend it.

These sponges work great as pre-filters on pump intakes.  They not only prevent small fish from getting hurt and killed, but they also prevent muck from clogging up the tank's other biofiltration media.  Whenever the sponge gets clogged with algae and muck, they are easy to slip off and rinse, which lets your other filter media remain un-clogged and full of beneficial microbes.  I find them equally great for large tanks with a 100 tetras, barbs, and danios, a medium sized tank of freshwater shrimp, or a large tank of big goldfish.

This filter was super easy to install.  We have terrible tap water in our town - it smells like chlorine, is frequently discolored and turns everything orange.  This filter effectively removed the taste and smell, leaving us with crystal clear drinking water.  The digital meter is also a plus, letting us know exactly how many gallons we have filtered and how many are left before the filter needs to be replaced.  Overall we are very happy with this filter.

UPDATE - This started off as 5 stars, but after 6 weeks the digital meter started randomly counting up - and continues to increment a few times a minute even though we aren't using the faucet.  So although the water filtering itself is still working, we will have no idea when the filter should be replaced.

Works great! Also got the sponges that go around filter. So much nicer! Order came earlier than expected! Would definitely use this seller again! Thank you!

This Filter is very easy to change. I just did that and the used filter looked very different in color with all the sediments it trapped. I am happy with the performance.

I bought this for my 44 gallon aquarium.  It has been running in the tank for a little bit more than a month now and I've had no problems with it.  This is the first sponge filter I've tried -- it is a little bigger than I thought it would be but I do not want to go back to HOB filters.  The sponge and air pump (bought separately) are nice and quiet.  I have the aquarium in my bedroom and I have no trouble reading or sleeping at all.  It seems to be doing a good job of collecting debris and crud from the tank.

I got a medium sized piece of tank decor from petsmart and use that to hide the filter in the back of the aquarium.  I painted the back of the tank black so it's nearly impossible to see the sponge filter at all, even when the tank light is on.

My only pain point is that you can't connect an air stone to the inside tubing within the sponge to help reduce bubble size and noise from the airstone.

All things considered, this was a great purchase and i high recommend it!

I installed this filter in my 55 gal tank that is 2/3 full and has a turtle in it. The water was very mucky because my other filter had basically quit working. When I woke up this morning my tank was clean and clear. So, I love the filtration process.
Will wait a few weeks and see how I like having to completely disconnect and remove the filter for cleaning.

Love these sponges, fit over filter intakes perfectly with no need to have anything to keep them attached.  Keep the filter clean and it can easily keep water clean longer as well as preventing any accidents with fish getting sucked into an intake.

Very happy with the filter, especially for the price paid.

I'm no expert on water filters but have been using the Brita brand for several years now. The reason why I love this new advanced filter is that it works as advertised. I always hated having to deal with the original filters upon initial use as you get that charcoal residue in the pitcher and in the reservoir even after following instructions. This new version does away with that issue and it works. Have been using it for about a week now and no charcoal residue in the pitcher or in the reservoir above. As for how well it filters, I live in NYC and that slight chlorine taste is removed.

I have this filter in conjunction with a large hang on back filter to keep a 125 gallon clean. These have come a long way in the last 20 years when I left the hobby.  I love how easy it is to break down and clean and I can get the whole thing done probably in under 10 minutes.  Nice and quiet and easy on electric.  I did a lot of searching and research before I bought this one but so far I am very pleased.

I have a well with a ton of sediment (white powdery sand) and this does a great job of filtering the water to crystal clear! And without really slowing down the pressure. I read that these are also much better than the pleated filters. That the pleated filters are quick to build bacteria on them. I have this in a DuPont water filter and it fits good, no problems. I feel much safer now drinking my water and bathing in it. This filter and a new water softener combined have the dishes in my dishwasher coming out crystal clear.

I purchased only one filter so I could test it out for myself.  I am happy with my purchase.  The filter was packaged well.  It fits my refrigerator perfectly, and the water takes great.  The price is reasonable, especially compared to the Samsung brand filters.  I recommend these filters, and I plan to purchase more.

I'm loving my new filter! It's a decent price and I'm happy for the 3 stages of filtering. Installing was a breeze as the instructions were easy to follow and written in English. It came with an extra washer and 2 different sized big round rubber things. (I don't know what they are and I didn't see it in the instructions) It even came with thread tape!  I just took my first shower last night and it performed beautifully. The bathroom I installed it in has lower water pressure from the rest of the house. The filter did not worsen it in any way. I don't know why but my soap seamed bubblier. My shampoo and conditioner rinsed out cleanly and there was no 'drag' on my skin. My water is extremely hard. I'm having to remove my shower head 2 times yearly to descale it. I'm hoping this filter will help with not having to do it so often.
