Beware this filter is not compatible with Watts units!
When I bought this last May before the product description was ##### (deleted) it stated this filter was compatible with standard RO systems. I did a lot of research before ordering this. Nowhere in the product description does it say you can't use this on the Watts WP-5 system. As I didn't have the old membrane out of the unit when I ordered this, how was I to see the seal is on the wrong end. As soon as I pulled the old membrane out and had the two side by side I saw the difference. I wrote to Abundant Flow Water and received the below reply. As the Watts OEM unit is available from Amazon for $34 I'll let the readers make the decision about Abundant Flow Water's reply... I'm sticking with the Watts OEM membrane from now on.

Note, both large and small o-rings must be on the same end.
Otherwise, the price is great with free shipping and great service from the seller (H2OFilters):

Wish I had known sooner about Watts incompatibility.
I just spent the better part of the last two days trying to figure out why my RO system (Watts WP-4V from Costco) was draining all the water out of the storage tank after I had shut off the water supply to it (this was in response to the tank not filling after 12 hours of constant running.) I did the online searches and followed all the FAQs and surely thought that my auto shutoff valve had a leak allowing the purified water to drain into the sink. I was ready to buy a replacement ASV (even though the old one looked ok) and a pressure gauge to check my supply pressure, etc., then I remembered I had a spare Watts membrane and thought it was worth a shot. Guess what? It worked! The storage tank was no longer emptying on its own (I put it on a scale and the weight didn't change over several minutes).
So what was the cause? I had bought a Filmtec membrane thinking I could save a few bucks over the Watts version. Dimensionally they are identical, except the Filmtec has an...
