Product review (4 stars): Water that Doesn't Taste Like Gastrointestinal Firebombing
Living in the city, I've learned one thing. Water tastes like cabbage-infused sweat trickling from the hair covered back of an overworked carnie. Drinking city water is a visceral experience in the city. You're not merely hydrating yourself, you're tasting, smelling, seeing and feeling a veritable conundrum; on one hand, you are staving off death by dehydration, on the other, you are taunting fate, begging for a case of Montezuma's revenge. If one desire's palpable water, one must first boil it, exorcise the angered spirits from it, and then filter it through a complex process of reverse osmosis.

The LG 5231JA2006A Refrigerator Water Filter changes that entire dynamic. After a quick and easy installation, so easy, in fact, a congressman could probably handle it, I sampled the freshly filtered water. I can now honestly say our water tastes less carnie, and more like the stagnant bathwater of a hobo. There is decidedly less "tang" to the water, and most of the texture has simply disappeared. Fever, cold sweats and explosive bowel movements have dramatically decreased. Our house plants live hours, if not days, longer now. Our pets have switched back from the toilet to their own watering bowl.

Best of all, it has been days since I've heard our refrigerator's water dispenser whisper "We all float down here, Georgie. You'll float too."
