About - Clear2O CWS100A

The Clear2O CWS100A is part of the water filter test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, water filter models like the CWS100A are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Lead removal:
Lead removal indicates the percentage of lead that was removed by each filter.

Chloroform removal:
Chloroform removal rates the percentage of chloroform removed. A filter's ability to remove chloroform predicts how well it will remove organic compounds as well as byproducts created by disinfectants used by water systems.

Flow rate:
Flow rate is how fast a gallon of water filtered through the cartridge. The criteria for flow rate scores differ between different types of filters. Faucet-mount, countertop, and undersink models have the same criterion; carafes and reverse osmosis models each have their own.

Best Uses
Comment:
Bummed about this not working out. I love the idea of the filter being sent automatically and it get's a great rating, but this is actually a discontinued product, though the filters are still available. Also, this pitcher has to be filled via a hose that connects to the tap with a special adaptor. This is not so convenient if don't have a traditional spigot on your sink.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
