The revers osmosis system uses filter cartridges that are very expensive and are only directly offered from the company Culligan. After searching for many years I found another company with what appears to be the exact same RO tankless system with the exact same filters so I bought them

The revers osmosis system uses filter cartridges that are very expensive and are only directly offered from the company Culligan. After searching for many years I found another company with what appears to be the exact same RO tankless system[1] with the exact same filters so I bought them and found that they were exactly the same except a little plastic key that made them "incompatible". I was able to pry off the key with a knife and interchange them if I wanted to. OR better yet it worked without the key at all.
The plastic key was only added to try to make the filters incompatible.
I have not found anywhere else on the internet that calls out the compatibility of the two brands.
Incidents
Add one-paragraph summaries of incidents below in sub-sections, which link to each incident's main article while linking to the main article and including a short summary. It is acceptable to create an incident summary before the main page for an incident has been created. To link to the page use the "Hatnote" or "Main" templates.
If the company has numerous incidents then format them in a table (see Amazon for an example).
