Skuttle A04-1725-052 Replacment Media, Filter, with Wick for 2000,2100



Works- some mild decline in quality
Decent product and works well- the only thing keeping it from an excellent rating is that some of the quality has gone down on these
1.) Up until last year they had a color stripe that would change color when it needed to be replaced.- the last two I bought didn't have that
2.) I am not going through 2 a season- (even with milder winter last year)

When I was a kid, finding replacement filters was one of life's torments.
I remember my dad looking for a source of various filters (humidifier, dehumidifier, furnace, air conditioner, drinking water) for various appliances with increasing grimness. The appliance might still be in good shape, but the store that sold it went out of business, and nobody else carried the same line. Or the manufacturer made some minor tweaks to the design, which just happened to require a different filter, which just happened to make our unit obsolete. Or it would simply be sold out, and nobody knew exactly when more would arrive. Dad was a guy who worried, and finding replacement filters provided maybe 5% of his life's quota of worry.

How he would have enjoyed Amazon. Exactly the right filter, often available from multiple manufacturers, cheap, and delivered within a few days. Searchable by appliance model number. Nice clear pictures. User reviews which point out obscure features and problems. Every time I order a filter from Amazon, I feel a little burst...

Water where you need it
How much can be said about a woven mesh that water dribbles across. It fit in the hole provided and water dribbled on top and dispersed across the media face. I was SOOOOOOOOO excited.
