Product review (2 stars): Skeptical about the EcoAqua water filter
Bought this to replace an Aqua Fresh model that I had purchased last year.  It fit the refrigerator so it met spec in that sense, but the locking mechanism seemed less secure (it was a different design with significantly less material).  Also it was shorter than the model it was replacing (again, less material).  When I first ran water through it, a few globs of light colored material came out, which has never happened with any other water filter I've owned.  So, while I AM drinking water out of it (after running at least 3 gallons through it) I still look suspiciously at the water before I drink it (I remain skeptical).  I see that AquaFresh has been bought and rebranded several times in the last year, which is another red flag for me.  Anyway, next time I will look for another brand.
