User Reviews
The previous reviewer did not make a "false judgement". The fact that this filter is white and NOT grey as is pictured should signal that something is clearly wrong. I've owned 2 genuine Matrikx filters, I know Matrikx filters and this sir, is no Matrikx Pb1 filter. The real filters are manufactured by a company called KX Technologies in Connecticut. Their filters are GREY and their filters are stamp embossed with the company name: KX Technologies and MADE IN THE USA. The filter shipped by Purenex has no such stamp. It came with a generic paper label that says "Block Activated Carbon - Water Filter". As insult to injury, the filter doesn't even work. I can very strongly taste the chlorine in my NYC tap water flowing through the filter system so I'm not convinced that it's even doing any filtering. Purenex is trying to sell this filter, which isn't even a knock-off -it's just a generic piece of crap, instead of the real thing. Save yourself some money, aggravation and perhaps your health by ordering from another storefront that sells the genuine KX Tech Matrikx filter (it may cost a bit more, but it'll be worth it). I've contacted the seller about returning this and I'll update my review with my experience with them.
***EDIT***
After writing this review, and buying the genuine item from another vendor, I realized that this product page spans all Amazon sellers, not just Purenex, which in at least two cases has been dishonest. So my rating has changed from 1 star to 5. This product, the Matrikx Pb1 made by KX Technologies, is Superb. It's probably the best filter out there. But the filter sold by Purenex is a generic piece of crap. Purenex did send me a full refund for my purchase. But anyway... Before you order, contact the seller and make sure the filter you'll receive is manufactured by KX Technologies. -- Caveat Emptor. Make sure you're really buying a KX Technologies Matrikx filter.
We purchased the water filter system that came with one of the filters and purchased this one as a backup. The system is fantastic! I assume this filter will perform as well as the first one. I will update again if results are different than expected! LOL Also, the filter has lasted a month and a half already so I assume we have at least 3 months, maybe longer per filter. Before this we spent soooo much money on Pur filters that attached to the faucet. I anticipate that this is a much better product because by this point those Pur filter systems already sprung a leak. -- If it works as good as the first one, it's great!
I ordered and got the filter just as I expected and will buy my next one from this seller, the item was shipped quickly and I got it when promised. -- Great price and good service !
Works beautifully, and best of all, doesn't cost a lot! The water tastes perfect, NO more chlorine! Particulates are removed, and that 'icky' color from well water has vanished. Keep up the good work, Matrikx. I'm supposed to get approx. 6 months use from one of these. We'll see. -- carbon filter
Every 6 months or so I change these. This product does a great job. Our water tastes great and is kept safe. They never clog. And you will never find it for a better price outside Amazon. Thats why I love dealing with Amazon. -- Great service!!
