Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of New Wave Enviro 10 Stage Water FilterCustomer Review: Constantly breaks, rotten product support Summary: 1 StarsThis unit worked okay for a couple of months, then the diverter valve malfunctioned. They shipped me a new one, but that one was defective too. I'm on my third diverter valve, and frankly I'm tired of having to change this part. The description of this item does not let you know that you will constantly have to be replacing a key part or the thing won't work. So, in addition to replacing the filter, you'll also have to contact their customer support to have them repeatedly send you a new part. You will have to install this part also, taking up your time. If the filter ever malfunctions, be prepared to open the filter yourself and troubleshoot it with their customer service people, and you're lucky if you can open the damn thing. I soaked mine and still could not open it.
Bottom line, yeah it filters water, but with the added hassle of many many part changes. I've only had the thing 6-7 months and already I've changed the part in question 3 times. Somehow they always manage to send me defective parts too, imagine that. And they are under the mistaken assumption that if the diverter valve malfunctions, they are not responsible for honoring the 1 year warranty because "the filter itself is still working" !! and because they sell the diverter valve separately as well...even though you cannot get water out of it with the diverter valve malfunctioning. You figure that one out. So, just because they also charge some people money for this part in question, therefore when that part breaks down on the filter, it's not their problem. I told them I'm tired of changing this part and could I get a unit that works - nope! They'll just keep sending me new (defective) diverter valves.
So....I just thought other buyers should know what they're getting themselves into with this product....many part changes every 2 months. Rotten product support, and it sounds like they only honor the 1 year warranty if the filter inside conks out. If anything else malfunctions, you're screwed. And since they are shipping units out with defective parts (and keep sending ME these defective parts as replacements), you can bet that yours will probably have a defective part too.
If the filter would just work properly without so much time invested on my part, then I'd give it 5 stars. But because I have to keep changing this part and will have to keep doing so into the foreseeable future, I give it one star. This is just an unacceptable defect for a filter that is this expensive.
