Moen 9601 ChoiceFlo Replacement Water Filter Compatible with Moen Sip Filtered Kitchen Faucets

There isn't much to say about the Choiceflo 9601 filter. It is basically the OEM replacement, and it does what it is supposed to do. It comes with installation instructions and a replacement battery. I found it fairly easy to install -- just take the old one off and screw on the new one (after replacing the battery.) It couldn't be easier. The original filter work well purifying our tap water and it was used well past the 6 month recommended replacement date. If this filter isn't heavily used, my personal take is that it can last about a year before needing replacement. Water filtered through this product tastes fresh and has no unpleasant odors or aftertaste.~ Kort

A great set up for having filtered drinking water at your finger tips with a water filter that lasts up to six months or longer depending on how much water one drinks. The filter is easy to install and is affordable.Moen designed a fantastic kitchen faucet with a water filter water spout underneath the neck of the regular water spout. It took away the large cumbersome water filter attachment that Brita developed.It is unfortunate that Moen stopped marketing this faucet, along with this Choiceflo water filter. Once again I took to the internet and found this water filter on Amazon, which I refer to as Amazing Amazon.I am most pleased to know that I can continue to replace the filter through Amazon.

I chose this over generic to replace my S5500 system filter because this one says it filters lead and the others say they do not. Didn’t have any problem installing like everyone else said. It took me two minutes (plus running it for fifteen minutes after installation, as instructed to flush the charcoal). Comes with instructions and replacement watch battery. Good flow after first five minutes. I used my last one for a year without degraded flavor. Thought I shouldn’t push it any longer.

We installed a Moen CA77200 faucet when we did our kitchen about 9 months ago. The combination of that faucet with this filter works really well for us. We like that the flow rate is a better than some of those filters that mount to the end of a standard faucet, and it seems to do a better job. The water taste is indistinguishable from the bottled water we were buying (maybe a little better, in fact). My husband is more sensitive to that than I am, and he's perfectly happy with it. We actually drink more water and less soda and coffee now, because we have a constant supply of good-tasting water.It is important to note that you can't run out and buy these at Lowe's or Home Depot. Not a problem for us, but it might annoy people who don't like to order things online. But each filter lasts about 6 months, so it's not too much of a hassle. (Buy 2, and you only have to do it once a year.)

This was my 9th purchase of this product in 5 years. It was the 1st time that it did not include the battery. The filter itself is great. Water taste is good. The change filter reminder mechanism is not great. Missed the çhange until I noticed date I wrote on filter

This filter is a little difficult to change. It use to come with a replacement battery but now I will have to buy it.

Our new house had a Moen aquasuite faucet 77200 near the kitchen sink and this filter was installed by the builder.6 months later, when it was time to replace the filter, I ordered it online from Amazon. Package arrived in 2 days as I am a prime member.Filter works good, water tastes good with this filter. No issues with the filter quality.Problem is the installation. It is nearly impossible to snap twist the filter to the filter holder thread and water line. My old filter snapped in and out easily but with the new filter it was impossible to fit it. I checked the model numbers and it was exactly the same filter. I tried to twist with all my power while pushing upwards, but it just wouldn't turn and snap.I even tried different alignments with the filter but of no avail.I did see in the reviews that lots of people had the same problem. I tried putting grease to the rubber O rings but it just wouldn't twist and snap. I felt that the holder bracket would break due to the force I was applying.Finally I figured out a solution. Install the filter into its holder, twist it so it stays in place and then push the water line from above on to the mouth of the filter and press it hard until it snaps fit.Its a pain to do this but this was the only way I could install it. Its definitely a design flaw and has to be a better way to do this.Apart from the installation issues, the filter works just fine.

I order a new one every 6 months first time it didn’t come with a new battery . Based on some other reviews it looks like it may not be included anymore .
