Product review (1 stars): Water tastes stale/dusty
Wasted $20.

I have purchased two of these filters over the past year.  The first filter was great.  Cheap replacement to what GE was selling, and the water tasted great.  Fast forward to a few weeks ago.  Because I had a good experience before with this filter, I decided to purchase another.

Big mistake.  After a few days of using the filter, the water dispensed now has a dusty/stale taste to it.  I initially thought it was just my water, so I bypassed the filter and went straight to the spigot.  The water from the spigot tastes completely normal.

I replaced this filter with a genuine GE filter ($40 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AST3AK/), and my water has been tasting great again.  No dusty/stale taste.  Unfortunately, I wasted $20 on this filter.  No more cheapie filters for me.  It's just not worth it.
