Product review (3 stars): Gets the job done
My water seems well filtered, if my cups are any indication. By which I mean if I leave a cup of water sitting, I don't get hard water deposit settling in the glass  so, these seem to filter pretty well. The problem that I took 2 stars off for, and I feel like its a substantial issue, is that the water from this filter tastes like it came from a garden hose. It has a platic-y, rubbery taste. Seriously, if you drank from the hose in the Summer as a kid, imagine that. Ok for nostalgia every now and again, but not what I want my water and ice to taste like every day.
