Don't Buy It
I bought the Doulton Countertop Water Filter a couple months ago and I'm sorry I did. I can't drink the water from it given the ceramic filter continually discharges something into the water that is gritty. My mouth is coated with a film of grit after drinking the water. The ceramic filters, when new, are coated with some type of powder which looks like residue from the manufacturing process and it appears this is what ends up in the drinking water. The directions require a new filter to have water run thought it for 10 min followed by a 24 hour rest period and then another 10mins of water but after doing that and running lots of additional water through the filter before I fill up a glass it still is gritty. I'm on my 2nd cartridge. The first had the same problem but got better but returned to being unduly gritty as I used it more. All in all a grossly unsatisfactory experience.

Perfect for over 10 Years Now
I'm kind of shocked by the bad reviews on this, especially since the reviews on the Doulton filter that goes INSIDE this unit are glowing.

I've had this for ten years, changed the filter twice, and am about to again.
I've never bothered with cleaning the filter since it lasts so long between filters for me.
Not only has it always tasted great but if I try to give people tap water and mention I also have filtered available, they ALWAYS much prefer the taste of the Doulton filtered version. So it's not just me that notices the difference.
And the Doulton isn't just made to only improve the taste, like so many of the other cheaper filters are, it's for filtering nasty stuff like lead and chemicals which the others leave in.
A great product with zero problems...
Terrible taste and Zero Customer Service
I bought this in February of 2010 (for more than the current $134 list). I live in Los Angeles, where the water is terrible. I am stunned at what a poor purchase this was! I did a lot of research, yet the taste of the water is TERRIBLE. A simple Brita pitcher tastes exponentially better. Doulton should be ashamed!
I had called Doulton after I purchased the product, and they wouldn't do anything about it since I didn't buy directly through them. In addition to terrible water taste, the filter has quite a long stream of water after you shut off the tap. After over a year without using the filter, and at a new house, I actually did buy a replacement cartridge this month. Since I had already made the investment in the system, I figured I would put it on bathroom tap at the very least -- which is where it's going to go. I recently called again, to see if I could get some advice or assistance, and once again the rep was surprised not only that the water tasted terrible, but...
