near heat or cold "only used water from tap and left on kitchen side so not near heat or cold"	55.9%
micro carbon pearls "the new filters are called maxtra+ and apparently have a finer mesh than the old ones to filter out more impurities in the water and micro carbon pearls which reduce chlorine"	55.9%
tapered bottom "the new maxtra cartridges fit into the older jugs but because they have a tapered bottom end and the old ones don't the old cartridges are too large to fit into the space in these new jugs"	55.8%

water filter jugs "never been a big fan of water filter jugs although i have had some over the years"	53.7%
meter not working "plus meter not working"	53.6%

dead giveaway "further update: the flashing indicator light appears to have nothing whatsoever to do with the water quality coming out of the jug: dead giveaway 1: if you take the lid off and tilt it as if you were pouring the light flashes which means it's not activated by water contact but by a tilt sensor"	52.4%
