Why did the company change to a bullet shape filter?

We called the company with the same question, but got no answer. I do know the new filters take longer to filter the water bc they accumulate air pockets. We were told to tap the sides to dislodge the air bubble, but found it easier to disspell the air by punching small holes in the top screen and THEN tapping the sides, They still make the best filters for excellent Keurig coffee makers. I'm guessing when I say the reason is probably to use less plactic. I wish they would start a recycling program. Like a dollar off your next order for each filter returned, along with free shipping to return them. I also wish there was a way to recycle the coffre cups. From what I've read, they've become a landfill blight.

The ZeroWater technologies make only this type of filter with tapered end that fits all their filter systems. This is the new earth friendly design and is the ZeroWater original filter. The old model filters with straight sides around are 20% extra plastic than the new model.

I've seen them in Target, and ordered on amazon. The pre-filter looks like a scratchy black thin brillo pad. The other filter has only indicated it needed changing once in like 5 years.

Honestly. I don't know the answer to that question. Seeing as though I do not design them. That is something you will have to take up with the distributors. Maybe they can enlighten you on the right info for the product. My guess is that they probably just want to change up the style on the cases. Who knows???

I threw mine away it was so bad. There is no way that I would recommend this filter to anyone. A very clear dark X banding was across the frame. Don't waste your money on it. The banding completely ruined shots that I used it for on some waterfalls (which is what I bought it for).

These BW filters are not the same company as the sound company BW, only similar initials.Cindy

They must have changed the picture.. It used to show the filters, which are little white rectangles of filter material.. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41jVcINhStL._SL256_.jpg

I don't know if this will post: virtualweberbulletDOTcom/fireup2.html (replace the DOT with a .) but it explains it well and is a great site for the Webber Bullet.

I don't know if you could say it is a Keith-Style bullet. It is a semi-wad cutter which is the basis of a Keith-Style bullet, but it doesn't have a curved ogive after the flat nose.

I see another reviewer has mentioned an issue with the basket fit and fit problems with solid filters. This is my issue also. I like to use a gold filter...whent a paper one inside that. They keep altering the design of their basket, but newer ones are even worse than older ones. So when I replaced the last one and couldnt get my gold filter to fit, I did swap out the plastic pieces from the old unit. This was better, but not perfect.

Wow! The price is now at $31.11! That's cheaper than buying just the replacement filter cartridge which is $43.34! Be warned though - the Katadyn doesn't hold up. I'm the quartermaster of a Boy Scouts troop and we've had several of them break on us. I won't buy them again.

I personally did not like this filter because it had the glare and it also was not coated properly. I ended up sending it back for a refund and went with the B+W version. My photos came out poorly with it on.

One kind is fitted for BBs; the other kind for pellets. The ad should specify.

Yes, and contrary to what the company argues it doesn't last as long as the old design. When the top of pitcher is filled with tap water, some of the filter material floats out into the water on top of filter. Was an outstanding product until company became greedy and started recycling filters in El Paso (or maybe they are taken across the border)? Those that don't know that there was a design change must be fairly recent customers.

I don't believe it's a new design,but it fits at least two size dispensers, it is smaller and requires changing more often, "Hey, maybe we can sell more filters if we......"

It is a naked filter. It is used to make sure your shots are being extracted evenly by visually inspecting the shot as it comes through the filter.

It has a single shot and double shot size that are exchangeable. Otherwise I am not sure what you mean by filters.

It is similar to the Keith style bullet. It is actually a semiwadcutter design which Elmer Keith designed his Keith style bullet from
