Aqua Optima Original 2 Year Pack, 12 x 60 Day Water filters-, y2, White

Well, firstly, I have been buying and using these filters since 2017 and I can attest to their results. They do what they are supposed to: filter your water and you can taste the difference immediately. The water where I live is very hard and I didn't want to continue spending a fortune on huge water bottles, so I bought a filter jug along with these filters.As I said they work fine and they do not make the water taste chemically or anything like that (as I have experienced in the past with other types of filters) but instead, they kind of make the water taste much better than it would if you were drinking it straight from the tap! However, I did notice something weird: after a week or two of replacing the used filter, the new one would filter the water VERY slowly. I wasn't sure why it did that (as I never had such issues in the past) and I thought that it might have been a faulty filter, so I threw it away. The same thing happened with the next filter: it reached a point where it was literally only dripping!! As I was unsure of what to do and since I didn't consider it to be a coincidence, I decided to try a couple of things but what worked, was repeating from the top the whole process and act as if it were a new filter!I discovered that these filters didn't really enjoy or appreciate "floating" in the filtered water (aka be where they are supposed to be inside the jug!!), so what I did, was remove the inside "sleeve" where the filter rests and place it horizontally on top of the jug, so that it sits there. That did work for me and since then (three or four filter changes back), it has worked wonders and only once or twice I had to repeat the process to increase the water filtration rate.Other than that, I never had any other issues.In conclusion, the filters work fine and if you notice the water flow lowered to the bare minimum, simply repeat the process as you would with a new filter and boom! You're golden!I hope this review is helpful to others :)

I have used water filters for many years now as I don't like just tap water in my area Great yarmouth Norfolk. When filtered it tastes better especially when making tea, it's clear & not cloudy without filtering. These filters are great as they last longer than others, you can start to tell difference when filter gets old. These fit well and cost wise is cheaper than another leading brand. So give them a try you won't be disappointed. I am very happy with them.

This was I believe my third replacement pack for my Optima filter jug. I've found it easy to use and lasts me as long as they say it does even though I use the water for cooking as well as drinking. I've had other brands before and must say that it's just as good as the Brita or the Boots jugs and filters. The difference being in that these last twice as long and buying the two year packs of filters cuts the price as well.

I have had various filters to reduce the chemicals in my water supply and these remove many chemicals completely and cups of tea etc do taste better once the water has been filtered. These new shaped filters are required for some jugs and water dispensers and they are very easy to git - just a simple half turn and they are there for 60 days as they are guaranteed to work for that amount of time with constant use. I panic if I am about to run out of them so my last order was for a dozen to keep me going for a long time. I would not be without them - especially in London where the water is very hard. The scum on top of the tea in a cup suddenly vanishes and the taste is much better too.

I never notice how great this filter is until I change the filter over in my jug.Water has never tasted better! The 2 year pack is such a bargain! It’s a brilliant alternative to Brita filters, in my opinion BritA is a bit outdated now.
