Product review (5 stars): YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SOAK IT IN WATER FOR 5-10MINUTES BEFORE USE
This water tasted better than the replacement filter I bought from Walmart 6months ago for $39, I've had this amazon generic replacement filter for over 1 month; no leak. PEOPLE, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SOAK IT IN WATER FOR 5-10MINUTES BEFORE USE, so there's no air bubbles,etc ; the instructions do not say this unfortunately, but other replacement filters say this. DO IT.
