bit-tech Shopping: Franke Triflow Series FRX02 Replacement Filter Cartridge with Lead Removal

Rating: 8

Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: Easy to use; Produces good-tasted water.

Weaknesses: Relatively expensive; No usage meter

Summary: I have inherited this product from my home?s previous owner. So far I like it. The water comes from it tastes very good. The problem is that the system does not tell you when you should replace the cartridge. So you have to decide whether you do it six months or one year. I will replace it now since I don?t know when the previous owner did it.

Summary: We have been using the Franke FRX02 Filter cartridges for many years with no problems whatsoever. We use it with with our Franke Little Butler Unit. Family of 5 drinks a lot of water and comforting to have the extra filtration and lead removal working for us. Water is clear and tastes great. Would recommend shopping around as prices can vary considerably on this replacement cartridge.

Strengths: Great tasting,long lasting,easy to install, highly effective

Weaknesses: Expensive, requires minor preparation before use, hard to tell when expired

Summary: This is the best water filter I've ever purchased. I've been using the Franke FRX-02 Triflow Filter for over one year and absolutely love it. I also have a water filter in my Sub-Zero but the water from the Franke Little Butler tastes much better and is better filtered due to the FRX-02. I highly recommend this filter and love that it lasts at least 6 months at a time. I only wish it was a little less expensive!
