★★/★★★★★ 

When I got mine, every single one was basically all black. I know that is NOT normal for charcoal filters as I've gotten other charcoal filters before & they've never been COMPLETELY black before. I let every single one of them soak in water to try to clean them off & to see if any of the charcoal would leak out of them. When I picked up one of them, the top just seemed to disintegrate & I'm really glad I was still holding it over the bowl they were soaking in because the charcoal gunk that was inside it just went everywhere. I don't even want to know what they would have done to my clothes or my carpet, or how hard it would have been to get OUT of my clothes and/or carpet.

I strained the water out into the sink & put the 11 other filters into another bowl & squeezed them to see what would happen. 7 held up & 4 just wrung out black water, so I was leery of trying them in my dogs water fountain. I put one of the other 7 in the fountain & went about my business for the day. When I went upstairs for bed I saw that their was black.. The filter busted. I decided to just give up because it wasn't worth the hassle anymore & I wasn't risking my dogs well being.
