Instapure R2 ESSENTIALS (R2, R2C, F2R-4ES, TAP-ESS-REPL-4) Replacement Water Filter (Four pack).

The media could not be loaded. Exactly as described and fits the Instapure (formerly known as Teledyne Water pik) kitchen faucet filter that I've used daily for the past 14 years. Just follow the manufacturer's instructions and discard the first couple gallons of water you first after changing the filter as the water will initially come out black, then grey before it runs clear as the loose carbon dust is washed out of the filter. (I wait until the water starts to run clear and then fill a jug and use that water for my garden plants rather than just letting it run down the drain).

Price was reasonable, and merchandise arrived in good condition.

We bought the water filter on the kitchen sink spigot many years ago and had run out of filters that came with it. About to throw it away, I found these available on Amazon and they are a perfect fit! Thank you.

My family used to drink water straight from our kitchen faucet when we were living in Boston, MA. However, we moved to another state in the summer and observed that the kitchen water had some egg-like odor to it. The water is also very hard. I initially ordered the Culligan FM-15A Level 3 Faucet Filter, which seemed to be working very fine, but the stream was so poor it would literally take about 15 minutes to fill a standard cooking pot (no kidding!) I sent the Culligan filter back to amazon and ordered the Instapure filter.This filter is really effective at eliminating the bad odor of the water. I didn't expect so much effect on the texture of the water though, since the best treatment for hard water is to get a water softener. The water is also much cleaner. Now, my family can drink our kitchen water again and we've stopped wasting money on bottled water. Water stream is also very good (of course, it's not as fast as the stream directly from the faucet). Also, each one of the four replacement filter conveniently lasts for 3 months before I change it (a family of three). It's also cheaper than most of the other brands in the market and seems pretty sturdy too.Overall, great water filter and relatively cheaper too.

living in area's where water has a taste due to chemicals or minerals, this helps greatly and I've used the system many years now.The used to be available locally but no longer and current choices locally are more expensive.

...and I've been buying these wherever I can find them for the last 10 years. They are affordable and do what they claim. For me, they tend to last a lot longer for me than the 3 months on the directions; my current record is just short of 7 months. I know because I write the date I put it in on the filter itself (as previously stated in one of the other reviews). I use them until the water I drink starts to taste like the regular tap water. Not scientific, I know, but it's a decent enough indicator for me. To me, it tastes just as good as any Brita or Pur filter out there.

I have been using these for years, makes the tap water usable.

Fue un encargo y era justamente lo que estaban buscando. Complacida por la compra.
