PRS-01 1, White

This is the 3rd time I've ordered this replacement filter and I've been completely satisfied each time. The first time I installed it the water only trickled out and I thought it was because of the filter. After talking to a couple of friends I learned that it probably wasn't installed properly and sure enough I found that I had not inserted and twisted it into its cradle properly. Once I seated it correctly (which is really easy to do once you know how) it has never given me a problem (no more trickling, gurgling, or air escaping noises). It installs quickly and easily, the water tastes good, and it lasts the recommended lifetime. My coffee maker manufacturer recommends using filtered water. Bottled water can be expensive and water filtered through the Made in the USA, UKF8001 Replacement Water Filter by Puritas does more than an adequate job, serves the same purpose, and makes excellent coffee. I recommend this product because it works just as well as the manufacturer's recommended replacement and it's a whole lot cheaper. I especially appreciate that it is a made in America product and will continue to purchase this water filter unless the quality changes.Update July 21, 2019The UKF8001 Replacement Water Filter by Puritas PRS-01 is still an excellent product but the sellers have begun raising the prices to double what I previously paid so I'm going to look around for another quality product that's cheaper.

I have tried several filter by different companies and this one is by far the better of them. This one is simple to install just remove the old one by turning it counter clockwise and then put this one in its place and twist about 1/4 turn clockwise. You will feel it tighten up.When finished installing the filter I put my water pitcher under the water spout and let it run til the air is out of the system which is about 2 or 3 minutes. I didn't see any thing floating in my water like a few others stated in their review, mine was clear from the start, and had no odor or taste. I highly recommend this filter. And knowing its made in the USA helps a lot.

So I gave it 3 stars so as not to look like a paid reviewer... or maybe I'm a jerk. Not sure which yet.I was concerned about all the comments surrounding replacement filters leaking and causing property damage. I really don't want to come home to a pool in my house.So I bought this and put it in my fridge and promptly forgot about it. (looking back, I am an idiot). So far I haven't seen any issues, we did the whole "fill it with water before installing and then run a crapton of water through it before letting it fill the ice cube trays", etc. and now the water seems nice and clear, runs at a good rate, and the autistic boy who periodically visits my home and complains about the status of my filters seems to be appeased... at least with this filter.We've been running on this for about a month now. No issues yet. I would have given five stars but I want to wait a while longer just to be certain. Some people claimed that the filter blew up after a few months of service and I figure this way the company will eventually ask me to chime in again.

Once you get through the initial high pressure spurting from bleeding the line it seems to work fine. This item does not seem to make the water taste better like the previous, different make, filter did. The price was good and overall I am fine with the purchase.

I have always ordered the brand name, believing it to be superior quality. However, the price of the brand name has increased so much that I started shopping for something else. Read through many reviews, found this one with almost all good reviews and I was sold on price and made in America. Worth trying out.It arrived and I installed it into my fridge without a problem, good fit, no leaking. The filter was noisier for the first 2 gallons of water, more air, flow much faster, which made me wonder if the faster flow would result in less filtering. At first, I feared that was the case. A lot more air bubbles and some debris floating in my water.However, after those 2 gallons, the water was clear, flow still faster and water tastes great. We have used it for a few weeks now and the water tastes the same. I saw one reviewer mentioning chlorine taste,which is not what I experience. I will order this one again.

I bought this in Feb 2016 after installing my last "genuine" Maytag filter. I installed it in September and found that the water now had a bad taste. Best I can describe it, it tasted somewhat like plastic. I ran about 10 gallons through it over 3 days, but didn't help. Fortunately, I still had the old filter, so I reinstalled it while waiting for the new "genuine" Maytag filter to arrive. The Maytag filters are about twice the price, but that is better than buying this filter and throwing it away.Update 10/3/16 -- seller gave me a refund. thanks.

I was very surprised to see the glowing reviews on this filter. This was my first purchase of this filter and I won't make that mistake again. I had used the Whirlpool by PUR since purchasing my refrigerator and the water taste was great. This one still leaves a noticeable taste of the chlorine. Lesson learned...cheaper is NOT always better. Makes me wonder if these reviews are real.

Unlike many of the reviews on this item, I did NOT receive any special deal on this. That said, it works great! When I saw the price of the Maytag brand getting larger and larger and then eventually selling out, I nervously bought this one. It fit properly, the water tastes the same, and the price was so much better than the Maytag brand. No need to hesitate!
