Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator F-201R Filtration Replacement Cartridges, 2-Pack
Customer Review: Beware!!! This thing can leak and hose down your house quickly
Summary: 1 Stars
I just came home to a lake in the kitchen! Thank goodness I was only gone an hour. The bottom of the replacable filter cracked open and spraying water at nearly a garden hose rate. No doubt about correct installation. This is a manufacturing defect. The filter should fail to filter when it goes bad and not fail and flood your home.
There is no excuse for a part made of essentially pvc not to last as long as pvc pipe and at least be engineered to the same specs. The crack is in a 3"circle on the very bottom and extends over 1/2 the way around. There is an obvious weak spot around the rest. Clearly this is a design flaw that should be immediately addressed and distribution stopped until it is. There is no excuse for a $200 kitchen convenience resulting in thousands of dollars in damage.
Now I have read about two others in 3 minutes and I wasn't even looking for stories. The replacement price is ridiculous at $25 dollars each... really! I'm supposed to replace this every 3 months? Do not buy this product or any other item that has such catastrophic low probability/ high consequence profile.
Customer Review: Cracked F201R filter floods kitchen and basement
Summary: 1 Stars
InSinkErator F-201R Filtration Replacement Cartridges, 2-Pack We woke up this morning to discover that our kitchen was flooded with water from a crack in a F201R filter. The water seeped through the floor and rained into our basement, covering a wide area. We had to call in professional contractors who removed the almost-new flooring from our kitchen and drilled holes around the bottom of each cabinet to allow tubes to be inserted from multiple industrial strength dehumidifying units. It's a real mess, and it will be several weeks until the kitchen is fully restored. Fortunately it is covered by USAA insurance. The contractor who built our kitchen never told us that we needed to replace the filter, in fact I didn't know that it was there until today. Instant hot water is a nice feature, but we have made little use of it. Now I am wary about using it at all.Customer Review: Every 3 months???????
Summary: 1 Stars
The price on this item is way too high to change every 3 months. I didn't realize you had to change it every 3 months and came home from vacation with a flooded kitchen because the filter had cracked! VERY expensive oversight having to re-tile entire kitchen, so don't let it go over year. Same thing happened to a friend.Customer Review: Filter Works Great
Summary: 5 Stars
This filter, in my openion, is a must for this hot water dispencer. My water is high in calcium and without the filter, the despenser lastes a year or so. With the filter, much much longer.Customer Review: Filtering Safe Water
Summary: 3 Stars
I buy water filters because family members like the idea. The only specifications published by InSinkErator indicate that the product filters out rust and chlorine taste and odor. No data on biologicals filtration. The product very likely does meet its specs, but it is hard to tell that it does anything to the soft water supplied by the weel regarded public utility that we drank unfiltered for decades. It doesn't change the taste. Easy to install, but take care with dirpping water when you remove the old one. A little pricey for uncertain benefits. Three stars for design and our faith in the manufacturer and the comfort it gives to some in the family. Perhaps users who have hard water, water with off tastes or color, or more highly chlorinated water will write with more specific information on its benefits. :)
