The fact is that most people don't know that 99% of all 'filters' are

as the certified 'filter'. And usually work just as well, kinda like
generic drugs.

NSF certification is a bit like the BBB, or Consumer Reports. People
rely on their 'service' without knowing that the vast majority of
companies and products are never included.

Generic drugs undergo stringent certification and must adhere to rigid
parameters before being certified for sale to the public ... unlike
"plain wrapper" filters made by who knows who in who knows where that
may or may not do what the sellers would have you believe they do.

Seems like you still do get what you pay for and a dollar's worth for a
dollar is still the best deal around.
