Product review (1 stars): "Filtered" Water Tastes Terrible
I installed one of these OnePurify filters a few months ago in my LG refrigerator. It was not bad, but the water did not taste fresh. So, after about 4 months I replaced it with a second filter that I purchased a couple of months earlier to have on hand. This time the water tasted terrible. I kept it in the refrigerator for a few weeks to see if the water would get any better. It didn't. So, I used Amazon Prime Now to have an LG OEM filter delivered (at double the cost but not because of the 2 hour delivery service) and replaced the knockoff. First, there was no big deluge of back carbon particles like the knockoff had. But, more importantly, the water tasted great. A perfect before-and-after experiment. I am not sure if the OnePurify filter is made in China, or what. I threw the box away before being interested in that. But, who knows what is in the filter and whether or not it is made using typical American food safety standards? The LG filter says it it made in Mexico. Nevertheless, since I don't have an option to buy American made, I trust an established company with more on the line than some small manufacturer I never heard of. Maybe the quality of these filters is variable; other purchasers seem to like it. But, I wasted as much money on 2 bad filters as I spent on one that actually worked. I could not return it because I let the second one sit on the shelf just past the return deadline before I installed it. Bummer.
