Product review (1 stars): Bad odor and taste
This filter was purchased on 2/17/2015. The first day this filter was installed the water from it contained a bad taste, which I hoped would fade. This filter has been in use for one week and the chemical odor has not faded. I bit the bullet tonight and bought a new one from our local big box store at full price. Attached to the filter from my local retailer is an electronic plastic bar code sticker, which is missing from the one purchased from Amazon. While the packaging and all the markings appear legitimate, the performance of the product indicates a low quality imitation. The extra $15 is worth it for a guaranteed authentic GE product. Look for the electronic sticker on the actual filter. Buyer beware.
