Product review (4 stars): So Easy to Install
This filter is good. It's very easy to set it up (make sure you soak it first for about 15 minutes to get rid of any of the little black pieces that might come out).
When I got this filter I was able to take out my old filter and put this one in and use it within just a matter of seconds (after the initial soaking of course).  Don't be surprised if you hear a loud popping sound when you take out your old filter.  I love the instructions that come with it too - believe me I have replaced the filter before and not known what to do because I just received an unmarked padded envelop with a filter inside!
The instructions did not tell me to do this, but when I change my filter I always run and discard the first two glasses of water.  I honestly am not sure where or when I picked up that habit - but, I always do it.

The only reason I gave this four stars instead of five is that I am not big on the taste of the water that comes out after using the filter.

I trust the quality of this product 100% but the taste to me makes it seem like a glass of water I got at a restaurant.  I used it solidly for about a week and still I'm getting the restaurant water taste.  I asked my husband and he said he didn't notice it, but my best friend was over and I asked her to try it and she mentioned the same thing.  My husband drinks so much soda and I almost exclusively drink water - so, I feel like I may be a little more sensitive to the taste of water than he is.  My favorite water is Aquafina, if that helps. The previous filter I used tasted more like Aquafina but was about 3 times the cost.

I will continue to use this filter and see if the water taste changes at all.  I know that when I first put the filter in it was sort of loud - but that went away pretty quickly.  I did receive this filter at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review. I have well water and there is a very high iron level in the water (so much so that my white shirts get orange collars when I wash them) so drinking unfiltered water is not an option (have you ever smelled the "egg water" smell from well water?  That's what I have!).
