Product review (2 stars): DOES NOT Filter Particulates, poor quality control
i have used three of these filters. First one was ok, used for about 6 months so I bought another two pack. Second one, a month after installation started leaking like others have mentioned. Glad I caught it because that can ruin a floor. Put the third one in and used it about two months. It does NOT remove particulates. I have hard water and although I have a softner my fridge is hooked up to a hard water line. I suspect most people's is. This keeps the extra salt out of the water you drink. Anyways, this makes it extra important for your fridge water to be properly filtered. I noticed that my ice was melting and leaving "white floaters" in my water. After some research this is the minerals in the water solidifying when frozen and staying solid once melted. A proper filter should have removed these particulates. I have since replaced the filter.
