Product review (5 stars): Excellent Taste - Don't be a victim of 'Packaging Change Syndrome'
There were a lot of negative reviews on Amazon about this new version of the filter. Honestly, I was nervous about it, since my wife was already sensitive to the taste of the water with the old blue filters. Well, I have been using this filter for a few weeks now and the water has never tasted better! There are no issues with this filter whatsoever and I recommend it fully. I would bet that if these negative reviewers were subjected to a blind taste test, they would never know the difference, or chose the new version as the superior one. If you have having issues, I suggest that you clean your ice maker with water and vinegar and remove any frozen food item that may smell away from your ice bin. These is the most common source of bad taste in my experience. Happy Drinking!
