Product review (1 stars): ONLY FOR chlorine/taste, etc. NOT NSF 53!! (THAT FILTERS METAL/LEAD/CHEMICALS). Leaks on Kenmore Elite (LG)
ONLY FILTERS SMELL AND SOME TASTE, ETC.
NOT NSF 42 AND NSF 53 COMPLIANT TO FILTER METALS/CHEMICALS!

FROM THE MANUFACTURER (Waterdrop):

Unique, premium coconut carbon block gives you fresh water and leaves beneficial minerals which may be beneficial to health . the reduction of chlorine taste and odor while retaining minerals beneficial to health.

God forbid you live in an area like Flint Michigan or where there is poor, urban water supply (most everywhere)

> (You might as well strain tap water though a coconut husk and a block of charcoal in a coffee filter instead of use the Waterdrop

> THIS FILTER DOES NOT PROVIDE FULL FILTERING OF OEM: HEAVY METAL REMOVAL REQUIRED BY NSF STANDARD 53 CERTIFICATION OF THE REAL FILTERS!!!!!

THIS FILTER IS ONLY  NSF 42 COMPLIANT!
Conforms to NFS material and structural integrity requirements only.

KENMORE/LG OEM filters are NSF 42 AND NSF 53
Which also filter what you need like heavy metals,, serious contaminates, etc.
Basically the best you can buy.

DOES NOT FIT:
> OEM version has a smooth, half-moon shaped bottom of the two tabs on the side that hold it in place.  The Waterdrop is squared off and thus does not install easily or as the manufacturers version

> LEAKS.  (SEE PHOTOS) The rubber seals O rings are smaller/thinner than the OEM.  Mine leaked and Im nearly a Pro at home appliances.  Also, if you look CLOSELY at the photos, the knock-off Waterdrop is slightly shorter than the OEM, perhaps an 1/8 inch or so.

YOU GET WHAT U PAY FOR
