Seychelle pH2O Alkaline Water Filter Pitcher - pH Enhancing Filtration - USA-Made Filter, 64oz

I've used several water filters over the years, the last one being the Mavea water pitchers. Before that I used another brand that had a hose that attached the carafe to the faucet (which is no longer made, it was at least a certified brand that could filter out even the worst contaminants). I've been to people's homes who served me water filtered through Brita and found thAt water to taste awful. Now, I gave this brand a try and to be honest I'm absolutely stunned by how good this water tastes. It reminds me of water I used to drink growing up in the 80s before so much fluoride and chlorine were added to tap water. In fact, it does remind me a bit of well water, but not that horrific acidic tasting well water from the Northeast. I don't honestly care about neutral pH in water, but if this is what it takes to make water taste this good, then consider me a new fan. Please support this brand, which is also apparently made in America and has a strong backing of health conscious, eco friendly folks. If you live in an area with bad water, this filter is a necessity, especially if there are tons of bad contaminants present. Florida has some surprisingly nasty water on par with the nasty stuff you'd drink in NY, PA, NJ, etc. Pro-- Best tasting water in years. Even better than bottled water, except for fiji. Also made in USA. That still counts for something! Cons-- The replacement filters are expensive and you will likely change them once a month if you use this a lot (and I think most people will). They also offer filters that can take care of radiological contaminants, which I'm certain would require frequent changing.

I have been using Seychelle water purification products for years now. I started on the early stainless steel sports bottles, and plastic filter straws but, have been using the filtered water pitchers for about 8 years. This is my first PH water filter. As has always been the case with my Seychelle products, the water taste is amazing, the ease of use is top notch and the filters are more robust than other brands. This new pitcher's filters will last for 200 gallons, not 2 weeks, as I read from reviews of some other popular brands. Yes, the up-front cost is a little more but, with the longevity of the filters, you end up saving money, effort and time with the Seychelle filters. I will continue to use and appreciate the pitchers from Seychelle. My only dings on this pitcher system is, the plastic mold bead on the bottom of the pitcher needed to be dremeled down to get the pitcher to stand flat on any surface...and the filter is slower flowing than my old filters. That is really no big deal but, it's slow.

First off, I can definitely tell the difference in water from my fridge, and Brita pitcher than the Seychelle. The Seychelle taste a lot better and more silky if that makes sense. The one from my fridge I could’ve sworn gave off a metallic taste even though I changed the filter as recommended. The Seychelle completely removed that taste. I can’t speak for longevity of the filters as this is my first day using it. But they filter plenty fast. The filters actually have different functions apparently, as shown in the picture below. The pitcher itself is super cheap though. This setup is not worth $80 in my opinion. I won’t be returning it, but I’m not exactly happy with the build quality. The Brita pitcher has thicker plastic, and has a better functioning lid. Nothing spills or anything, but you could probably squeeze and crack the pitcher with one hand, the plastic on it is that thin.

This is my second brand for filters that screw on to the reservoir from the bottom. At first, I didn't give it a second thought. Then -- and this is another brand I'm referring to -- came an issue in which a replacement filter did not seal like the previous one. Back to the current brand, Seychelle, the two smaller filters instead of one big filter seemed worth a try as the grooves are smaller and seemed more likely not to leak. So far, so good. I will update this review when it's time to replace them just to be sure. I live in an urban area and the water is fluoridated. While filters that remove some fluoride are on the rise, and that's an encouraging trend, if you have a lot of fluoride, you need a filter built for that. I haven't tested it yet but have a kit on the way and, again, will update this review with those results. For now, I can say the filtered water tastes very nice! Finally, for now, I confess to hesitating a little to go with Seychelle per some of the negative comments. I'm happy that the positive comments won out. I did have a small detail to resolve with the shipping and handling of my pitcher and Seychelle responded the same day and were a pleasure to deal with as we sorted it out. Add that my pitcher arrived as fast as Prime but without Prime -- certainly not always the case -- and I have to say they've won me over. I'm convinced that they care about customer satisfaction.

I love testing water all my life. I was so happy to see a water filter that deals with PH levels but I was gravely disappointed with the test results. I live in New York City and the PH where I live is about 5.5 and TDS about 33ppm. After filtering the water through the Seychelle, the PH remained the same and the TDS jumped to 102. I repeated the test 3 times and got the same results. I will gladly retract this review if anybody can prove me wrong.

Brilliant but can't seem to find how to order new filters

I like the clearness of the water

I find that the Pitcher is awful large and awkward shape for fitting in the refrigerator well. Also for the size of the pitcher, it does not hold very much water. Overall I am not happy at all with the pitcher. The taste of the water seems good.

Cannot find in the UK filters for this jug. The wrong filter is listed to buy but not the dual filter of this jug. So I have the jug but no backup filters to buy. This becomes pointless cost too much for a one off use.

I was leery of this purchase already, due to others stating it didn't change the pH, or that the filters didn't last very long. I would say both are fair assessments of this item. I used a properly-calibrated pH meter to test the water. It only raised the pH of our bottled spring water by 1.5, and that was when the filters were brand new. The bottled water was already 8.5, which is sufficient for my needs (I had no idea the pH was so high at the time I ordered the pitcher). In less than a week, the pitcher was not raising the pH AT ALL. I followed the directions for flushing the filters, exactly as stated in the enclosed leaflet, and I did not allow the filters to be submerged by the water in the pitcher at any time (suggested by someone in the review section, which made sense for preventing the filtering material from wearing out). So, it's extremely expensive and utterly useless to us. Since their claims of creating alkaline water are false, I have to assume their filters don't work for anything else they claim, either - we were also interested in the claim it removes arsenic, since we're full-time RVers and sometimes the well water in parks is contaminated. Considering the fact that a pack of their filters seems to cost more than the original pitcher with the two filters included, this appears to be nothing but a cash grab. Typical subscription-like money siphon.
