I just started to use this filter because I had others available. Have even spoken to the Seychelle owner in the past. These filters are expensive and when I poured water into the container which sits in the pitcher all these horrible black specks came out. This should not be happening as I have used other filters like PUR, Pro-Pur, Britta and Zero Water and never had a filter emit black specks. There also is a great deal of black residue around the 3 holes constantly. These specks appear even after the filter is flushed. I use my PUR water filter first, then I run it through the Pro-Pur so it is extremely filtered [2 times] by the time I run it though the Seychelle. There is no sediment in the water, it is just the quality of these filters has changed. Also, doesn't take out much fluoride as I have had the water tested by a water treatment facility.

I was curious to touch the three black circles on the top of the filter. I thought they were filled with media. What surprises me is that there are three holes/tubes.

With my index finger, I found out that there were tiny particles around the inside channels of the tubes.

"Filling water to each tube, Using a finger to lose the particles, Refill water, Seal with the red cap, Shaking vigorously", repeat these steps for a couple times. The particles are still there but less. I am so glad that my filter is back to dripping now.

Please have the manufacturer figure out how to stop the particles from tap water to reach the filter i.e. a removable membrane for cleaning.

What's the suggestion for removing particles to the existing filter for customers? pre filter? a woven mesh to screen particles?

I am going to use a Japanese fine mesh strainer to filter the tap water first, then pour the water to the pitcher. Hope this will help to reduce the filter's tube's cleaning.

I am very pleased with this unit, wafer tast so much better

I drink a lot of water out of bottles and am concerned about the plastic so put my bottled water through the filter. My mind is now not so concerned about it.

Love the seychelle products. Been using my pitcher for 15 plus years. Shipping was quick. Will buy again.

Was delivered on time, as always.

Does what they say it will do, studies and our health prove it! Forget the other name brand filters on the market, they suck and have nothing backing up what they filter out of your water. If you want peace of mind just get this pitcher and filters, period!!

Seychelle Radiological Pitcher Replacement Filter 1-40400-W

Excellent quality radiological filters. Have used them for at least 10 years. Feel safe drinking water from them, knowing my health is safe with their filters.

During a Doctor visit it was revealed that I had high levels of glyphosate in my system. That is one of the ingredients in Round-Up. I do not use weed killer except a homemade non toxic one. Our conclusion is that it's in our well water. We live in the country and it likely got in there from means out of our control. So I was on the hunt for a filtration method. Could find no info online for the brand name water filters. Even called and emailed them and heard nothing back. Found Seychelle! On their site there is black and white documentation that their water pitchers filter out over 90% of a long list of chemicals and glyphosate was one of them! So I bought it and have not looked back. That was a few years ago and to this day our water is free from junk!! Our cats also drink the same water. Thank goodness I found Seychelle!

The lady on the phone was very helpful identifying the product # I needed to replace the one I needed. Delivery was prompt. Price is affordable.
Thank you.

I was very happy with the service. My order was shipped quickly and Quality Water Filters let me know quickly when it was shipped, when it would arrive and when it DID arrive. My water filters are very good and I am happy with my order.

My family and I have been using these Seychelle Pitchers forever and I take my glass bottle filled with its water wherever I go. No one realizes how bad and unhealthy the taste of water is without it being filtered. The Naturopath that recommended this pitcher to me said, "if I did nothing else for my health, Seychelle's Filtered Water is my best recommendation!"

Good filter

great water filter. I have been using them for years

I love my filter, it came very fast.

I love the filteration system

We have a second home with tap well water which looks, tastes and smells as you'd expect. The Seychelle filter does the heavy lifting or filtering for about 3 months before slowing down the filtering process. We know its time to replace whereas any other pitcher water filters pass a lot of stuff right through to the consumer for any length of time you want - yuck! Seychelle works!

I had to use this alternative forcghe RAD Pitcher and it works fine. However, I was not expecting to pay more but, it is worth having clean drinking water.

I have been purchasing these filters for years and am very happy with them. Delivery is quick.

I live in agricultural country and my water supply is from a well, tho a water utility now governs its quality.. As the farms are nearby, filtering my water with Seychelle filters is the best solution for me to make sure as many contaminants are removed as possible. It also improves the taste (or lack thereof) of the water. I find the filters last a long time so pricewise they are cost efficient for me. Thanks Seychelle for a great product..

Natural water is H2O with nothing added. Qualitywaterfilters4you delivers a great product at an affordable price, real fast. I am happy with the water my family drinks.

Great product, great service

Sensational Service. I had to call customer service to find out which filter I needed, they told me which one would work for my particular pitcher. I ordered three. They arrived in about a week.

Very satisfied

I really like the filter. It works great in my Seychelle water pitcher and the water tastes great. I hope this filter stays available for the older pitchers.

I love the filtered water from my pitcher and hope you will continue to supply a filter for my older system.

Arrived fast and accurate!

Thank you for sending my order. I appreciate pure water!
