Product review (5 stars): great tasting water
I've been buying one of these filters every six months for the past two years to replace the factory filter that come with our samsung french door refrigerator. The water tastes great, they seem to do a good job filtering chlorine since our tap water smells strongly of. We have a big family and we use the filtered water for both drinking as well as cooking. The filter lasts about five months before it starts to slow the flow of water. It's usable another 1-2 months past that but it will take a long time to fill a tea kettle or water bottle although the water will still taste good. I find the purple to red light indicator on the door of the fridge is pretty spot on with when it needs to be replaced. I like to order a new one when it goes to purple but wait to switch it out until the light turns red.
