Product review (5 stars): Great Product, Great Deal!!!!!
So I read most of the 1-3 stars review on this as I all ways do because that give me the most perspective on products. And after I weeded out the late nite haters and people who like to add silly reviews, I decided to go for it. I had been using another after market brand filter and bought 3 of them so they lasted me little over  a year and half and I was satisfied.  Well the last one was done and you could differently tell by the taste of the water. So after reading up on the NSF 42 and 53 certification and seeing that the last one I used was only 42 cert and not 53, I decided to give this one a shot.  I followed the instructions on letting is site submerged in water for 15 min ( I actually let min sit for over 30 min) and then popped it in. I ran about 2 gallons of water though it and was really satisfied with the fresh tasting water. I see when people say that it might taste funny but that's because you've been drinking unfiltered water or using the wrong filters.  I had no issue at all. No slow pour, bubbles, cloudiness, or charcoal particles. This is working great. I will be picking this up again when I'm do for my next change in 3 to 6 months.
