Product review (1 stars): Cheap price is not worth the potential to be drinking less pure water
I'm not sure how this product is receiving five star reviews when it only meets the lowest ANSI safety standard for water filters. I was tempted to purchase it based on the low price when I was surprised to see that it met only standard 42, the lowest standard necessary to legally call itself a water filter. My LG refrigerator, which I bought in 2010,  came with a  factory filter meeting both standards 42 and 53 and all the manufacturer replacement filters have done so as well.  I'm somewhat taken aback when I see other reviewer's rating a water filter very highly based on its packaging and appearance. I don't care what it looks like, I care if it's going to keep the poisons and toxins out of my children's water. A filter meeting standard 42 is not required to remove any toxins including heavy metals or even any bacteria. The only thing it has to remove is chlorine, that's it. I'll stick to paying a little more for my manufacturers filter so I can have the the peace of mind that my children are drinking clean water.
