Product review (1 stars): Another Rebranded Water Tube
This so called filter is the same garbage but with a different label. The ClearChoice brand label is the third water tube that I tried that are all the same tube just with a different label. It feels that these tubes are just a shell game. Anyway, the filter just came wrapped in a sealed plastic. Upon inspecting the label where all pertinent information should be, lo and behold, AGAIN, the label did not have any vital information. The filter itself has no information on what and how much minerals or particles or chemical or contaminants it filters out. The only filtering information it provides or more like a warning disclaimer is Do not use this filter with water that is known to be microbiologically unsafe or without a sufficient disinfection process before or after the water filtration process. So what is the purpose of this filter if it does not filter anything.  Is it just so water can pass through the refrigerator to the water dispenser? I think that is the only purpose of this so called filter. It is misleading. They should call it a bypass adapter and not a filter. If you look at LG or any quality brand filters, they explicitly provide information on what their filter removes. Look it up at Amazon and you will see for yourself. Some remove more than others but to not provide any information and giving a warning means it does not remove anything. I do not live in a third world country. I live in the good old U.S. of A., in a big urban city but I still want to filter my water without using a whole house filtration system. And if they also mean by water filtration process in using a Brita system then this is truly a useless so call filter by ClearChoice. Even Brita Filters says it is NSF 42 /53 Certified and provides a list of contaminants and percentages it removes. The package or tube (I will not call this a filter) also does NOT say it is Made from NSF and FDA approved materials on the label but just on the Amazon description page it states it. If it is not on the label then they can not claim it or they can be sue / fined by the States and government for false claims (FTC rule and regulations). It means nothing anyway. They are using play on words to make it sound impressive. IT needs to state "NSF 42 AND 53 CERTIFIED ALONG WITH THE CONTAMINANTS IT REMOVES AND THE PERCENTAGE" and if it JUST states NSF 42 and53 CERTIFIED, it also really means nothing. It needs to ALSO list what it removes along with the percentage as some filters removes less contaminants and less percentages even through the filters are NSF 42 / 53 Certified filters. NSF 42 / 53 Certified filters are NOT All equal. READ THE LABEL. Be an informed consumer. Drink truly filtered water unless you do not careful about your health or your loved ones. But I think you do care since you are looking to buy a water filter. This is another rebranded, relabeled garbage that touts the "Made in USA" to tug on our blind patriotism. I am not going to try to install this tube as I would rather still use my presently installed one year old LG filter. If I could give this minus stars I would but I cant so I am giving it the lowest rating I can which is one star. If the company would like to reply to my review and provide important filtering information on this tube, I will revisit this review and re-rate it if necessary.
