### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great
*by R***E on May 31, 2024*

They are the best in my opinion. And they are well worth the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleated vs Wound String vs the new Spun Polypropylene
*by A***R on December 9, 2013*

What's the benefit of pleated vs the wound string? The pleated offers MUCH more surface area and lasts much longer. I gave up on the wound string filters years ago because of the superior water flow and longevity of the pleated filters. I really like them. But now, the experts are recommending spun polypropylene filters. These new polypropylene filters don't have a rating the same way that pleated filters do because they have a range of filtrations --- the outer layer may be rated for 20 micron, while the inner may be rated for 5 micron. This means that the bigger particles are trapped on the surface and smaller and smaller particles are trapped as the water moves toward the interior of the filter. The experts say that this method is superior to the pleated cellulose filter design, but I'm not sure. I'm testing both kinds in my house now, and they seem to be performing equally well for longevity. I don't think you can go wrong with these pleated filters. Of particular note is that the pressure drop in these filters is so low that it's very well suited to low water pressure situations. We have a gravity feed spring supplying water at 20 pounds of pressure in the basement. After the filter, there is 19 pounds of pressure, still enough to take a shower.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality
*by R***. on March 18, 2024*

Such a great price! So glad I came to Amazon to buy these. We previously bought in bulk from another filter site and were paying nearly double! These work great!
