Product review (4 stars): The cost of this filter versus one from LG makes it a great value purchase as long as you are aware of ...
The filter fit into the refrigerator compartment perfectly, but during the first use of getting a glass of water, the liquid had a black tinge color to it.  After running the water through the filter for about a minute, it went back to clear and has not had a problem since.  The cost of this filter versus one from LG makes it a great value purchase as long as you are aware of the initial black water issue.  Apparently the manufacturer doesn't pressure check these filters after assembly.
