I've been reading about unsealed filters. Are filters purchased through ZeroWater via Amazon sealed and therefore, uncontaminated?

Yes, the filters are packaged in a plastic wrapper and therefore are uncontaminated.

The filters I received via Amazon were individually sealed and all performed as expected. I've added them to my Subscribe and Save order.

They may be sealed when when packaged, but mine were all open and two were wet on the inside when I received them. If I had to guess, I would say the top cardboard rings cut through the plastic during shipping. Very poor/cheap packaging.

Hi David, Yes, everything was sealed. The outer package and then each filter was covered in a sealed white bag. My complaint is really centered around the performance of the filters.

Our filters had a safety seal on the outer box and the filter inside was sealed in plastic. Total confidence.

The ones we have purchased have been sealed in plastic and are working just fine for us.

This is the second time I've gotten this question, and the answer is the same: This is a USED filter. Who ever Amazon is listing as the seller Amazon should look into because they are selling used filters & should not be selling to people on Amazon! Please notify Amazon about the issue so Amazon can take the seller off the site. There is no reason that water should be dripping out of a new filter!

In my opinion and what I have done thus far is use the filter. Notice I said filter and not filters. I have used one filter since I have owned the machine. I never change the filter and I doubt I would ever have to since it filters the freshly distilled water. Taste has not been affected and the only reason I can see for the filters is to ensure no particulates from the machinery would ever enter the water. That said, it should be impossible during the life of the machine for any particulates to break loose. These are copper pipes used for the distillation so the filters are either a money maker or just a fail safe is all. In my opinion and what I have done thus far is use the filter.

I received my 4 Pack of DE in unsealed plastic containers from Earthworks. I don't consider it a problem when buying from Earthworks.

You can order them here, -but if you have a pool that big, I highly recommend converting to Salt water (saves big $$$ and time /very low maintenance to keep a crystal-clear pool) and using a Sand filter. Cartridge filters are questionable -even for Wading pools, and it's a constant struggle to keep it 'clear' (these filters just aren't up to the task at hand).

Hello Edwin, My name is Doug. I cannot answer this question but I will give you the following so you may contact the seller direct. John Chen can be reached at: sales@ispringfilters.com. Hope this helps. Have a good New Year.

It is a box with six unlabeled, collectively (NOT individually) wrapped filters crammed into it. In my case, the box was six inches too small, so four of the filters were flattened and two (the ones on the outside) were crushed. They didn't even bother to seal the box - the two top flaps were simply joined at an angle and taped, so the contents were exposed to the elements on both sides throughout shipping.

don't buy this uncoated filter. ghosts. I bought it, never used it, never bother to return to amazon.

I would contact the company and clarify. I use filtered tap water, but to be sure, I'd believe the company over a description on Amazon.

Hi John, I would love to give you some information regarding this tool, but it never arrived with my order. I didn't even have to use a tool when I changed out my filters. I used my hands, installed the new cartridges, and haven't had a leak or problem to date.

I would refer you to the Berkey website. They list all the types of things their filters can deal with. Not knowing what the specifics are, I would not be able to say. You could send them an email. I am sure they would respond. I do know that their filter systems are used worldwide for clean water in remote places.

I think if you just look for the filters, this same seller has them without the sealer. Hope that helped.

I purchased from Coffee Savers in August. Mine were in boxes, and the filters were in sealed bags inside the box. Hope this helps. They were definitely the real deal.

Yes. The filters are the same in my other zero water products. There is one note. Zero water changed their filters in about mid-2012. My water cooler had to have a minor adjustment to use the newer filters. When I put the new style filters in my old Zero Water pitcher, it wouldn't filter the water to the full level in the pitcher. No problems with the 6-cup space saver, though.

I received this product brand new from Amazon, in it's plastic sealed packaging. For me, the product works as stated, as in it was WATERPROOF. So far I had no problems..... cheers!

Mine was in a plastic case inside of a B+W box. However, the seal on th box was broken, and the filter appeared to have been used. The next time I purchase something like this, it will be from a local dealer.

I have never received anything but "New" items from Amazon. B+W is a quality company that makes high quality products. If your filter looks ok, no distortions, blemishes or scratches...I would use it. I would still contact Amazon Customer Service if you are not comfortable or happy. They are responsive and should address your concerns. At least that has been my experience. Good Luck.
