Reading the good reviews and taking advantage of the price drop, I ordered (perhaps mistakenly) 3 pieces that I received yesterday. I haven't tried them yet because I just changed the filters (Pentek CBR2-10) last week, but I noticed a few things that seemed strange to me.
1. The country of manufacture is not mentioned anywhere.
2. No matter how hard I tried to locate the EAN Code (0737214798439) in the known databases, I couldn't find it.
3. The product code listed on the filter's label "EG-ACTO-2510-05" is nowhere to be found no matter where I searched, not even on Eiger's website.
4. There is NO mention of NSF on the label, neither a logo nor anything.
5. The only reference to a certification body is the statement that the company is certified according to ISO9001.
6. The label in the product image is different from the label on the filter I received, and there are no logos for Water Quality Association, BPA Free, etc.
7. The label says "Silver Coconut Block" but on the product page on Eiger's website, the word silver is not mentioned anywhere. This is in contrast to other competing products, which if they contain silver for antimicrobial action, they mention it everywhere in capital letters.
8. I couldn't find a sheet with the technical specifications of the filter on Eiger's page. (I'm not saying on the manufacturer's page because I don't know where or by whom it was manufactured). The only technical data mentioned on Eiger's page are:
Compatible devices: Countertop, Reverse osmosis system, Under sink
Diameter: 2.5" (inch)
Height: 10" (inch)
Micron: 0.5μm
Filtration stages: One (1)
Water filter type: Carbon filter
Approx life span: 12 months / 5000L
When I replace and test the filter, I will come back.
P.S: The rating (3 stars) is based on what I mentioned above and not on the operation and effectiveness of the filter, as I haven't tried it yet.
