Ray, I've gone the generic way for years, wasted time and energy and ended up throwing out box of unused filters when I switched, as I no longer wanted to deal with generic units.
Last two I got were zero waste from costco, ended up breaking the housing of the filter on one and another unit that was injecting waste water into the hot water line, ended up rupturing something inside my hot water tank that resulted in no hot water, flooded laundry room and replacement of the entire HWT...just don't have good experience I guess and for that reason, I ended up sourcing and modifying one that I would want to use myself.
If they work for you great, but I just want to know instantly what quality water I'm producing, how much life I have on the filter and I want to be able to change the filter in 3 sec and never look at it again.
You should know that there are different consumers for every product and while some would do their own tire rotations and oil changes all day long, others don't even want to look at their wheels, just want to get to their destinations LOL - I'm in the 2nd group, but I've been in the first for years, so I understand both positions.
