We moved into our house about a year and a half ago. New house. New fridge. Kitchen Aid side by side. Since then we have replaced the filter about 4 times, each time hoping the water will finally taste good. It hasn't. We finally just took the filter out, and the water actually tastes better without it. So disappointed, since this is the first fridge we've had with a ice maker/water dispenser. The Brita water filter pitcher we had prior was head and shoulders above what we get now. We followed the instructions, and ran out the 4 gallons after every filter change. We even tried changing the filters out more often. Nothing improved the taste. Thumbs down for Kitchen Aid and Every Drop.
