Product review (4 stars): Good filter, but needs a lot of flushing
The filter fit perfectly and at 1/2 the price of the GE one it is a great deal.

My only problem with it is you need to flush at least 2 gallons (12 - 24oz cups) of water thru it to get all the plastic taste out of it. The water was very cloudy for the first 5 minutes of flushing.

The directions stated 5 minutes and it needed more than 10 minutes before the water started to taste good.

The previous GE filters only needed 2 minutes to remove the plastic taste (3 - 24oz cups).

Pro"s: Inexpensive and fits perfectly, water taste is good only after much flushing.

Con's: It needs 2-3 times the amount of flushing that the instructions state, to get the plastic taste out of the water.
