Product review (1 stars): Not the same as Authentic LG Filter
This is a basic charcoal filter that doesn't do anything magical.  It's doesnt filter lead and it doesn't claim to do so, but don't be fooled into thinking that this is the same filter as your original because the original is NSF 53 certified and this is not. This has a lesserNSF 42 rating that isn't the same. There is an older review that claimed the manufacturer was working on getting the NSF 53 rating, but they never did, and it seems they never will.  I reached out directly to the seller and they never returned my email, so therefore I wil not buy another filter nor will I recommend them. If you look around you can get the same charcoal filter from dozens of different companies that are simply putting their label on the same exact cheap filter. None of these companies are actually making their own filter. And none of these filters are actually doing anything.
