Good filter, poor sealers

This filter came quickly and is now in use without the sponge sealers.  They were all just hanging loose in the box and the glue which was supposed to hold them was non-existent.  I don't think I would order from this supplier again.

Filter was good quality and a perfect fit.  The rubber gasket is a major pain.  In my opinion, I would have been better off putting a light coating of gasket sealer on the old one and re-using it.  Or--if I would have had any old school gasket GLUE like Hi-Tac, I could have glued it on.  The problem is, in order to get the bolts tight enough so they won't fall out, it causes the thin rubber gasket to squish out no matter how careful you are.  Had to re-do the job after just 40 miles, and this isn't a job I wanted to do again.  My Xterra had 120K on it and the original filter was still clean--it's only wire mesh, so unless you've gotten sludge or something in it, I think a new filter is probably unnecessary--I wish I would have just drained the ATF and left it alone.  The whole rubber gasket thing just ruined my day.  I think the only reason they supply such a flimsy gasket is so they can roll it up and stuff it in a tiny box.

I like the convenience and cost-effectiveness of buying the 6-packs of these filters on Amazon rather than buying 3-packs at the pet store. However, this type of Marineland filter gets clogged up waaaay too quickly.  I wish I had chosen a different filter to begin with because now I'm stuck buying these unless I want to buy a whole new filter again.

Filter clogged after maybe 50 liters. Quick detach system for output coming out of the bag has gotten hard to engage.

The filter fits in the unit, but the seams were falling apart right out of the packaging. The glue holding it together was tearing open and I'm afraid a wet filter will not hold up very long.

Nice filter. The pleats in the filter are not as separated as the stock filter, but it is constructed well. The end of the filter that is inserted first is slightly different, but I am sure it seals perfectly.

filter is good, I didn't read that it didn't come with the gasket to seal the canister.  If it had the gasket would be perfect with the price.

I wanted a water-based sealer with low oder and VOCs which this one fit the bill.  However, I gave three stars because I've already had to re-apply the sealer after less then a month and I'm still noticing that water/spills are penetrating the seal.

Fits as expected but one out of two filters worked. The seal leaked on the first filter installed. I installed the second filter and it worked fine. Contacted seller and they quickly gave me a credit for the defective filter.

The seals on the product I purchased failed within a few months and would leak into the cabinet I stored the unit in causing slight water damage to the wood.  After noticing this I switched back to my HOB filters with bio wheels until I purchased a different canister filter.

The problem I had is that the plastic frame of the air filter is not all one piece.  There is a seal that attaches and runs around the outside edge.  On both air filters that I bought this seal was detached at the innermost part of the curve, at the elbow of the 'L' shaped portion.  I had to take a hot glue gun to attach the seal to the body of the air filters before using them.

I would've given it 5 stars if it had come with the seals that are required to install the post filter.  Now I have to spend $12 to order seals.

My second one. Beginning to leak at filter replacement seal after 2 months of use. There is no reason for this to happen.

They were good filters but the opening was too small for my hose.  I cut the opening larger and used a rubber band to put the filter on the end of my hose.  I have to take it off and let it dry each time I use it and then clean lint out of it.  I guess it depends on whether you want to bother with this or not.

The product was received quickly and was the correct part but unfortunately we still weren't able to get the bags to seal properly.  We ended up buying a new&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/FoodSaver-V3240-Vertical-Vacuum-Sealer-White/dp/B003U738ZE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">FoodSaver V3240 Vertical Vacuum Sealer, White</a>&nbsp;and I'm glad we did because it works much better than our old one.

I'd consider this a four-star product IF the filters weren't such an issue.  The unit is appropriately sized for sitting on a typical refrigerator shelf and is generally easy to use.  I'd knock one star off for the dispensing spout.  It's much larger than the actual hole the water comes out of.  This makes filling containers with small openings (water bottles) a challenge.

Now, here's where things have gone off a cliff for me.  I've always purchased genuine PUR filters.  I've gone through roughly 8 of them in the last couple years.  I've often had trouble with the filter getting stuck, where the water wouldn't flow through the filter into the bottom chamber.  I've had one or two filters that I threw out after only a couple days use, while others have been a mixed bag of if/when they'd get stuck.  I was really trying to give this product a chance by purchasing filters a few times.

Recently, I bought a 3-pack of the lead-reducing PUR filters (2x the price!) and they have the same issue.  At this point, I'm just done with this thing.  Bad filters make the product relatively useless.  I shouldn't have to work this hard to filter water.  As soon as I suffer through my remaining filters, I'll be buying another brand (Brita maybe?).

They do their job filtering and the water tastes good but I often run into the issue with the filter getting "clogged" I've followed some of the information posted here about how to unclog it and it works.  Shaking, making sure it doesn't float etc, but it seems like more effort than should be required for the simple job of water filtering.

I mean what are you going to do if you have a PUR filter system - you gota buy the filters!!
