Product review (1 stars): Smells and taste of Iodine...
This product had gotten a lot of reviews...over 1000 it says and most of them good. I did not want to pay 40+ dollars for the other filter that we had been using, so based on all the good reviews I decided to try this one.

Now we all know that when you install a new filter that you need to run the line and run a few gallons thru it to let it fill up and rinse out any sediment that we don't want to drink. I did all that. Then I filled the glass, looked it it...and then went to taste it. Immediately I smelled an iodine smell that was like a bottle of Betadine that they use in hospitals. So then I tough....maybe they put it the filter since iodine can be used for water treatment. So I flushed another gallon through and some of the "medical" smell went away. I left a glass out over night to see if it would evaporate and I woke up today and it still smells.

I also have a brita picture that I use for coffee and stuff and plan to use it until I can get a replacement.

I know that a lot of people thought this filter was great...and maybe it is if you do not have a good sniffer (nose). But if you have a good one like me (and you will know if your nose is) then you will probably have a problem with this filter. My husband says that he can barely smell it and that he has not problem with it...

Ps.. I did try to find the MSDS for this filter and the company that makes it. I did not find much at all. Now leery and won't buy again. I won't drink the water....either. Plan on ordering a replacement.
