Product review (5 stars): The reviews with low flow ARE A MYTH
I know that OEM parts are almost always better and was very hesitant to get a non-GE MWF filter. I knew I had Amazon's return policy so I forged forward into the unknown. I turned off the water before changing my filter but when I pulled it I heard what sounded like an actuator. I think this was the fridge turning off a water valve because when I SLOWLY turned the water back on WITHOUT A FILTER no water came shooting out of the fridge. I think you can change these filters without turning off the water.

Changing was as simple as a counterclockwise twist to remove, and a clockwise twist to put the new filter on. I was EXTREMELY WORRIED about flow as other reviewers had stated. I did a flow test on the old MWF filter and the new filter as follows.

OEM GE MWF Filter: 4 cups in 31.96 seconds
New WaterSentinel Filter: 4 cups in 31.27 seconds

These both equate to about 0.5 GPM (Gallons per minute)

The water tasted exactly the same and the flow rate was the same if not better. YOU HAVE THE AMAZON GUARENTEE! Buy the filters and if they are terrible return them! For me they are awesome and I am saving a ton of greenbacks. 11/10 with rice!
