Frizzlife FZ-3 Replacement Water Filter Cartridge For MP99, MK99, MV99 & MS99 - With Scale Inhibition

I’m picky about water and this makes my water taste and smell like water should. It lasts almost the three months with our use as all cold water is filtered instead of just a drinking spout. Works as intended and you definitely know when it’s time to change it because the water loses quality again. Decent design but the case is often difficult to open initially.

I bought a new plumbed in coffee maker and the warranty required that it be connected to a scale inhibiting filter. Most of the filters I found with this feature were well over $60. This filter was less than half the cost of other similar filters and fit nicely into my existing Frizzlife canister. The water quality coming out is excellent. Other reviews have mentioned that the filter came with a "crease" along the side and suggested this was a defect. Not so. As you can read in the product description, unlike other Frizzlife filters, this filter has a pleated filter design to increase lifespan and water flow (probably to accommodate the internal filter medium that reduces scale). The pleat may be wider along one side of the filter but the filter will still do its job.

The change out of my old filter into this new one was such a breeze. I was shocked to see just how nasty the old one was, since this was my first replacement. I waited 2 years to replace which was a little too long, I think I will try to replace every 6 months now that I know how easy it is. Installation took maybe 15 minutes. Put a towel down because some water will leak out, it’s just the nature of water filters in general since they hold onto the water. The design overall is so smart though it leaves very little room for error. Just go on Frizzlife website and they have a guide video. Can’t wait to drink some nice fresh water again.

This is easy to replace the old filter. Just save the included wrench. Dramatically improved the taste of our water, though not as good as a reverse osmosis system.

Very good Product, Fast Delivery. Will definitely buy again.

That’s a photo of the first time I changed the filter. Grosses me out thinking of what I would be drinking without the Frizzlife water filter system. When I moved to this neighborhood, I noticed immediately that the water tasted awful! My doc & I had a discussion and he told me about my local water purification ..or lack there-of…and I had been hauling gallon jugs of drinking water from the store. I did that for prob 10 mo before I discovered that putting a filter on my cold water wasn’t a big deal. I was in my late 60’s at the time and I installed the whole thing myself. The actual hardest part was getting back up off the floor! The filter in the photo was after about 18 mo because of what the description claimed. I suppose it depends on the water quality of the area, but, now I change the filter at the very least once a year, not every two. (It’s just me & my cat) The whole filter system that I got was under 90$ and the filters run 20-25$ depending on which one you get. I live in an apt, so when I moved to a different unit, poof…I just brought it with me. I drink a lot of water, so this has saved me a bunch of $ and I’m not dealing with the guilt of buying plastic water jugs & then putting them in the recycle bin.

As a water filter, the Frizzlife works fine - removes the taste of our city tap water and has excellent throughput. So I can't rate it less than 3 stars.The problem I have is with ease of installation. I was not able to install the last cartridge I ordered because we simply could not open the filter canister, so we've stopped ordering the cartridges and just replace the whole filter. We had done a filter replacement at least once before, so know that we were able to open it at some point, but no longer. I'm not sure if this is a fundamental design defect or a by-product of the hard water in our area, but either way I'd advise caution if what you find attractive about this system are the lower-cost replaceable filters - you may not actually find them to be replaceable.

This filter has provided excellent tasting water, especially given the quality before filtering (very hard, full of debris and chemicals-undrinkable).My recommend.
