At that price in size I can't really imagine that there's much Kdf in it. The kdf filter I use in my 10-in big blue housing cost $50 made by pentair and last 6 months or more. I have three of those 10 inch big blue filters in line, the first one being a spun sediment filter only, the next one is the kdf/carbon block, and the third one being a ceramic filter. I'm sure it's Overkill for some areas but for others not so much it does reduce flow a bit, but not too bad. I took all three filters out recently to sanitize the system but haven't done it yet. Without any filters in line yeah I have really high water pressure on the water pump which is the only way I go by never hooking up to city water. For some people the sound of the pump might be annoying but for me it's reassuring to know that if I spring a leak somewhere in the water system I will know it by hearing the pump run. So $10 a filter I would say that you get what you pay for. But do it makes you happy if it's works for you go for it. One other thought I don't like external filters. If the sun's hitting them they can get quite warm I would think. Also I don't like the idea of someone being able to mess with it. Maybe a non-issue but it's how I think. I prefer my filters tucked away inside my wet Bay locked.
