[Original] Waterdrop WD-PF-AL Replacement Alkaline Filters for All Waterdrop Pitcher Filtration System, Improved Coffee Taste, Last Up to 100 Gallons (Pack of 3)

This alkaline water and Waterdrop filtration system is new to me. Not sure if I got a bad filter or if alkaline water should taste like you are drinking water out of a garden hose. Followed the instructions on preparation of the filter and discarded about a gallon of water before use. I have a waterdrop glass filter pitcher and water taste fine for the first taste test - clean. A day later my daughter complained drinking the water out of her Stanley Cup tasted like water from garden a garden hose.I thought maybe the alkaline water was reacting with the plastic straw that is used to drink out of Stanley cup. Overnight I poured fresh filtered water in a glass cup, plastic cup and a stainless-steel thermos. I tasted the water before the experiment and no garden hose taste. The cups were left overnight without being covering but the thermos had the lid close.The next morning, I tried the water from the plastic and glass cup. Water in the glasses tasted like garden hose water. I tried the water from the closed thermos, and it was much better. Only thing I can think now is it is not plastic chemical leaching into the alkaline water, but the water is oxidizing or something in the filtration process is causing reaction to the air? I have not tested the pH before and after.I have put in the standard filter WD-PF-01A for time being until I have more time to research alkaline water and the Waterdrop filtering system.Update; customer service was concerned about my satisfaction and contacted me to follow up on my experience with Waterdrop product. So far the filter is am using is perfect. No funny taste, just clean water. Impressed with the customer service and product thus far, I bought another pitcher to put inside the fridge.

Product works.

I was very skeptical that alkaline water would taste any different. It absolutely does. It's smoother and crisper. The whole family was amazed!

This is the first time one of these filters clogged since I’ve been buying them, which has been 3 times I believe. This time 1 of the filters was a bit slower than usual, and 1 of the filters clogged. I was able to unclog it by placing it in a bowl of water to soak and then shaking it under running water. The filter seems to have been used up much quicker than the previous ones.The filters are usually of good quality and last quite a while. I’m about to order more right now since it’s likely not going to happen again. The reviews for the product are very good.

Very good filters. Ease of use is very simple and straight to the point. Very valuable for your money. And will last all year round. The fit and design is pretty cool as well as personally my favorite color is blue.

I bought this instead of the normal filter. So getting t so much more for the same price. Fast filtering speed. No smell to the water. Designed perfectly for an easier more manageable time. And fits perfectly in the pitcher.

This company reached out to understand what happened, and went above and beyond to assist me in solving the issues that came about. I appreciated the feedback and greatly appreciated the solution to the issues. I'll update further in future. Thank you for being such a positive company and dedicated to solution based results.Ordered a set of three alkaline filters. The first filter I used worked fine, good quality lasted. The second one had black dust all over it and no matter how much I rinsed it the black stuck on it. So last filter was fine for a day or so then water was gritty with black specks and tasted horribly.I'm very hesitant to buy this product again. Not sure I will due to 2 out of the 3 filters were not okay.

Easy to install they fill fast
