KENT Alkaline Water Filter Pitcher | 3.5 Liters Filtration Pitcher | Balances pH Levels | Blue

In other reviews I see confusion on how to properly use this filter. While it is very easy for me to understand I have seen others with issues. Kent really should include a initial setup guide.I received the pitcher today. Before ordering I tried to learn what I could about use, cleaning, replacing filter media. The last was a big thing for me as it seems nearly all water filter require proprietary filters which aren't all that much less than a new pitcher. Not much information provided and not much needed.I washed all plastic before using, removed filter basket and seal and then placed under running water. for a few minutes. Initially black dust from the filter media and then ran clean. Assembled and filled.Though packaging states 3 liter capacity the most it will filter is 1.75 when no more water passes through. Total filter time for 1.75L less than two minutes. I checked total dissolved solids (TDS) and the well water has 90 TDS after filter 75 TDS. Both are excellent readings.Taste compared to my very good well water is slightly better. I bought this because there is nowhere near to have the well water tested for bacteria and organisms, and at my advanced age I now play it safe. Before letting 4 one liter bottles of water lay in the sun six hours a day for UV to do its magic. Now the filter will do that.The replacement media I purchased the same time appears to be activated charcoal and when I change it will see. If so it's cheaply and easily replaceable along with the paper sediment filter on top of the cartridge.All in all, I'm very happy. I hope this will help potential buyers with their choice.

Need to order a new filter for replacement

Good Product

Very bad product. Kent is cheating to us. It has a very small size Alkaline cartage installed in it which ends mostly in 3 months. Very bad support from Kent, after many times complain, Kent engineer took 20 days to replace the Alkaline cartage. After after few days uses I found that Alkaline PH going down (Initially it was 9 PH, now it is approx. 8 PH). Also, It has a very small H2 ionizer installed in it. KENT providing PH and H2 testing meter which proving false reading, no fix reading. Kent is cheating to us. Very bad product. Do not buy, go to some other brands.

Overall look good. Need improvement in plastic quality. It is very thin and break or crack eassly. Water taste good. Cartridge replacement cost is high.

This is the second time i m ordering this pitcher. Its an amazing product , pocket friendly, easy to handle, no complex installation, crystal clear water, good for compact homes.It is sturdy.

The yearly service cost of the product is very high. It is approximately 4000/- to 6500/- subject to change of filters. Machine includes 5 filters cost 1300/- per filter.

I tested with litmus test and found that it genuinely makes water alkaline and taste is also good. Let see in future how long it keeps water alkaline. However few smaller issues were there. Like packaging was very fragile and almost open. Second, after filling water when I looked at purifying candle I found water dripping from top of candle also. Then I disassembled it and tightened the candle. So these are primary issues. No “how to use guide” inside so figure out yourself.
