Product review (1 stars): Did not remove the chlorine taste
I bought this because the filters made by Maytag were unavailable, and this had good reviews from other Amazon customers, and I thought American made would be good.  I installed it (no leaks), flushed it out for about 5 minutes, and checked the water.  It looked okay but tasted horrible - high chlorine just like our straight tap water.  I flushed it a couple more times, and no improvement.  I went ahead and used it thinking it might get better or I might get used to it. But after about a day and a half I still couldn't stand the taste, so put my old filter back in.  The water taste immediately improved.  I left the old filter in and ordered a different brand from Amazon.  The documentation on this filter doesn't say anything about meeting any standards for contaminant removal.  It only listed the operating temperature and pressures.  Maybe they forgot to install the filtration media in mine and sent me a lemon, but I don't intend to try another one.

Update:  Decided to cut open the filters and and look inside to see how they work (or don't).  As shown in the photos, the Maytag filter on the left was built with the filtration cartridge as an insert that was sealed very well on the top and bottom to make sure the water goes through the filter material.  Inside the Perfectpure filter (on the right in the photos), the top inlet was off center and poorly glued.  This resulted in an incomplete seal to the filter media, so the incoming water just bypassed the filter and came right back out of the top with no filtration.  The bottom of the Perfectpure filter was apparently sealed, but based on the small amount of glue it could have a similar manufacturing problem as the top seal.  So the bottom line appears to be that if you are lucky and the glue and parts all line up when it is put together, then the Perfectpure filter will be fairly inexpensive and probably work okay as it has for some of the reviewers.  But if quality control is bad as it was with mine, then you are just buying a very expensive piece of pipe.
