Product review (5 stars): Cheap alternative to GE's RFID chipped filter.
Inexpensive alternative to GE's RFID chipped water filter for $45. To make this work I peeled the RFID tag off of the original filter that came with the new fridge and pressed it onto the side of the fridge inside the filter housing so the sensor inside the fridge wall would still recognize it to be 'installed'. I then installed this cheap filter that fit perfectly (in fact it is identical except for the Big Brother Chip). Now when we get ice or water from the door the digital display temporarily says we are 99 days past due on our filter change but that is a small price to pay to save a huge amount of money. 20 years changing the filter twice a year is 40 filters. If the average savings is $30 per filter the grand total of savings is $1,200 over 20 years!!!!! That is criminal. I will never buy another GE product again.
