Product review (3 stars): Water filter mysteries
I really don't use a water filter to change the taste; I use them so there is less poison going into my family.
There is no leaking with this filter as other reviews have indicated, however the flow rate is now crazy strong...so much that the first bit of water that hits the bottom (or side...I've adjusted the spout both ways) splashes right out of the glass and all over the refrigerator door.

Filters are one of those things that remain mysterious to me because reviews are so subjective, and usually built around taste and function. I have no idea if the chloramines (a mixture of chlorine and ammonia) my water district uses are filtered out with this brand. I do know "fluoride" (which is not naturally occurring anyway but rather industrial waste from fertilizer industry) can only be eliminated by other slower and more expensive means, and NOT a refrigerator filter.
3 stars because I have to trust...with little ability to verify.
