Product review (4 stars): Great filter for 1%ers, if you follow the installation protocol
I had some reservations about using this with all the bad reviews. They were unfounded. Adds absolutely NO bad taste or off odors to my water or ice.

I have a theory about those bad reviews however. In very fine print in the instructions, it states "run 4 gallons of water through new filter before use" Folks, 4 gallons of water is 64, 8 ounce glasses or, over EIGHT MINUTES of continuous flow from a typical glass filler on a fridge. As you can see, this is not just a plug and play install.

I got a piece of 3/8" vinyl tubing to slip over my refrigerators water dispenser outlet, and held the dispenser button until it just about filled a 5 gallon bucket, almost 10 minutes later. The result was perfectly clean tasting water and cubes as always.

The only issue is that  "razor blade marketing" has pushed the price of this filter into the stupid expensive area- hence no Five star rating for you. There are cheaper  alternatives out there, but they can be from a supplier with a questionable source or manufacturer. Of course YMMV!

To make the filter last longer, install a sediment-only filter in the cold water line before the fridge. It will keep filter clogging particulate from polluting your expensive EveryDrop. ( 20 micron sedimate filter cartridges are dirt cheap compared to the EveryDrop). I easily stretch my fridge filter usage to a full year before replacement with this setup.

You will be happy, if not a little poorer.
