Product review (5 stars): Good replacement - will know more when break open after its used
The product is a direct replacement for my Kenmore (Lg) refrigerator.  I broke the kenmore filter in half to determine its construction.  It is a compressed tube of powdered activated carbon.  The activated carbon filter does not appear sufficient to remove chlorinated organics ( suspect carcinogen occasionally found in water where organics combine with chlorine disinfectant at the water plant).  It would act to filter particles and would act to remove chlorine ( normal disinfectant found in drinking water)  It might also help with some taste or odor (adsorption by the activated carbon)  I assume this filter has the same internals.  Flow rate is a bit higher which could be from a less compact carbon tube or because the old filter was blocked by turbidity or particles in the water.  I will follow up when this filter is used.  For now it seems comparable to the original filter
