Product review (1 stars): Disappointed. Terrible aftertaste.
I ordered the two-pack of these filters. The water tasted terrible. I thought maybe it was just a fluke on the first one, tried the second one and it still had a terrible aftertaste to the water. The water also has this murky color to it, even after flushing it the initial 3 gallons (where it starts off black).  I coughed up the extra money to replace it with the brand name equivalent, and the water returned to being crisp and clean again. I'm not sure if I just received a bad batch of these, but I will not be buying them again. Clean, fresh drinking water is essential in my household - we don't drink anything but water, coffee, and tea (no sodas, no juices) and we rely on the water filter to provide us with drinkable water from the refrigerator. I really wanted these to work well. Such a disappointment.
