Swapped in a fresh cartridge last weekend and the flow rate is noticeably better than the old one. It meets the P248 military standard for virus removal, which is why I keep buying these for my gravity system.

The peace of mind alone is worth it — this cartridge is rated to NSF P248 military standard, so I finally stopped worrying about viruses in our well water. It clicks in easily and the flow rate stayed the same after the swap.

Swapped this in after a hiking trip where we filtered creek water and nobody got sick, so the 99.99% virus removal claim feels legit. Only gripe is that it takes a few minutes to prime before the flow runs clear, but that's a small tradeoff.
