I ordered these replacements after on a third trip to Sears they did not have this in stock and it seemed they were not likely to in the future.

The online Sears price was 5-6 dollars higher, and I was upset they did not stock it locally, I ordered these through my more familiar Amazon account.

I used these from Waterfilteronline.com for years after buying the more expensive replacements directly from Sears when we initially got the system. They are much less expensive, but something is different. Every time I replaced them (every 6 months like clockwork) there was a thick blackish/brownish "gel" on the first filter cartridge. It look like mold had formed and created a horrible looking jelly.

It had been so long since I had used the Sears cartidges, I hadn't remembered that the OEM parts from Sears never had this problem. I have returned to buying these from Sears and have eliminated the ugly mold-jelly! I don't know what is was, but it disturbed me. It is worth the extra money to me to no see it ever again.

Product was easy to find online, was readily available and shipped out quickly. I was pleased with the entire transaction and would recommend this vendor to all.

We have been using these filters in our Kenmore reverse osmosis filter system for a couple years now. We have a bit of Virginia red dirt in our county water supply so our pre-filter comes out dark red every 6-9 months or so. However, our post-filter always looks brand-new at the change. Thus, I simply take the post-filter, move it to the pre-filter location, then put a new filter in the post-position. I use half the filters and the system functions perfectly. Particularly in the winter, when the tap water enters the house cold, the water is outstanding.

Not much to say except that the filters work! They arrived quickly and were packaged adequately. I'll purchase them here again!

We usually buy these to last us a year or two at a time to save on shipping, less expensive than most places and we are happy with the quality.

These filters have to be replaced on a regular basis. We have always been able to find them at WaterFiltersOnline.com. As the system as aged, it has become harder and harder to find the parts at local retailers. We appreciate the fast and professionl service provided by this company. We also appreciate the price.

I've since purchased a different water filtration system but plan to continue purchasing my filter needs from WaterFiltersOnline as their service has been perfect. Prompt shipping and good packaging. They also include a reminder sticker with the part numbers and place to write the installation date so you know when it's time to order new filters.
