Product review (4 stars): A QUALITY, COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE
This water filter works just as good as the high priced, name brand filters at a fraction of the cost. This filter says it can filter 200 gallons more than my original filter does. I do not plan to test that, but appreciate the claim. Changing the filter is easy. Simply twist the old one out very easily and this one went right back in. I ran about 5-6 gallons of water through it, per my refrigerators original instructions when changing the filter. No leaks, everything worked the first time. The ice cubes were clean with no funky taste either. Shipping was extremely fast, in fact it came before it was scheduled.
The instructions say to run at least two gallons through the filter before considering it drinkable and I absolutely agree!! The first couple of gallons were solid black and quite off-puttng. That never happened with our name brand filters, but is just excess carbon filtering material. After that, everything has been crystal clear and the only difference I note is in the $$$ savings!
The water is crisp and clean tasting. Some filers leave a strange after taste, but this one does not. I love that this filter costs less than name brand filters and the water tastes just as good if not better!  This filters 200 gallons (depends on water quality and level of contaminants), which is about 6 months. It also comes with some helpful stickers to remind you when to replace.
The only thing I was disappointed with was that it was made in China for MORE Pure filters which is located in Grand Rapids, MI, where I live. Unfortunately, this fact is not mentioned on the product listing page.
