Product review (5 stars): This was all white just like the one pictured
I read the reviews before I ordered this filter for my fridge that I have had for several years.  Usually I get mine at Lowe's but this time one filter was $49 there. It came in a Frigidaire box and was plastic shrink wrapped.  This was all white just like the one pictured...and It installed easily.  I ran 2 pitchers of water and watered my potted plants with it.....there was no black or color to the water.  It looked fine.  I now consider it good to go.  IF I run into any weird problems in the next couple of weeks I will come back and edit my review.
