Product review (2 stars): Intermittent foul chemical taste.
I won't buy this filter again, and wouldn't recommend it to others. It fits in our LG refrigerator just like the brand name filter, and doesn't leak, which is the only reason I give it any stars. I ran the required amount of water through it after installation (after soaking it per the directions), but it seems that at least once a day the water tastes like chlorine or some chemical-type aftertaste. I can dump that glass and fill up again and it often is fine. Considering we have five of us in the house and we drink a lot of water, it cannot be blamed on lack of water running through it. We have had it just long enough before I installed it that it is outside of the return window (and not sure how you can return a filter once it has been used) or I would attempt to ask for a refund or replacement. Not happy that I have to waste water at least once or twice a day because it tastes funny. I try to be earth-friendly in reducing waste of our resources (clean water) so this frustrates me a bit. Next filter change we will go back to the LG brand (and we may not make it the usual 6 months if this foul taste starts to seem more frequent).
