I purchased this filter kit for my Watts Premier WP5-50 RO unit. The package's shrink wrap was broken (I guess) in shipping, but each of the canister type filters had individual shrink wrap so I have no worry about dirt contamination. The final 'polishing' filter was not shrink wrapped, but it had end caps so I have no worry there.

Just so this is 'clear', a RO membrane is not included. This is a kit for sediment and carbon filter replacement only, NOT the RO membrane. Still a good price.

The final filter (indeed a 10 inch one) had a sticker on it, with some specs = (Watts Premier, Model RIL-10a, flow 0.5gpm, capacity 1000gal, NSF certified, pressure 25-100psi, temp 32-100f, and flow direction arrow) also the package had a 'Made in USA' flag logo on it.

Just for fun, I purchased a replacement polishing filter for my WP5-50 RO unit at the 'Watts Premier' web site. It had a sticker that read only 'Made in Taiwan' They look to be the same filter with different manufacturers. The Taiwan Watts filter did include the end 'screw in' fittings that may not be needed but are nice to have. Enjoy.

This review is from: Watts 7-PK RO Filters Premier 1-Year 5-Stage Reverse Osmosis Replacement Filter Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I'm amazed at what you get in the package. Added up individually, these items would cost almost $60.00! I have had an RO system for over 7 years and this is the best deal for replacement filters that I have found anywhere. As another reviewer stated, not even the Watts website has prices this low for these items. That's the good part. The not so good is two things: One is that both of the sediment filters were slightly dented upon arrival. No big deal though, and that won't affect their functionality. Another slight problem is that the post carbon filter doesn't have the 1/4" quick connect fittings that my 4 stage RO system setup has. No big deal, as another reviewer suggested, I went to the hardware store and bought two adapters to add to the filter- don't forget to use teflon tape! These adapters convert threaded fittings to quick connect and cost six dollars for both and can be removed from the filter later to be reused again on the new post carbon filter.

After installing the new filters I tasted the water and I can't tell if it's different from the old filters I was using. It does taste good though, like before.

I'm rating this product 5 stars for the great deal. I would take away one star for the packing of the product prior to shipping, but this is too good of a deal and is worth the risk of some damage in shipping.

Update: Sept. 2011: The filters are still doing great and I'm still super happy with this purchase. I just hope this deal lasts...

I tried to find a set of filters for my Reverse Osmosis water system. The pricing was unreasonable to buy the filters separately from local stores. I found this kit on Amazon and was amazed at the price I could buy it for. For those who are looking for a filter replacement for your system this is a bargain.
