Product review (1 stars): DON'T BELIEVE THE REVIEWS - NOT AS ADVERTISED!
I have always used the OEM Samsung filter on my fridge, but I thought I would try to save some money and try these because of their high reviews. I'm not sure how this product got such great reviews, because these filters do not filter out any TDSs (Total Dissolved Solids). I use an AquaPro Water Tester to measure the TDS levels every time I change my fridge filter. Average tap water is between 200 and 375 TDS; ideal drinking water should be below 75 TDS. Out of the tap, the measurement was 360. Pre-filter change was at 342 after nine months of use. After changing the filter to one of these replacements and flushing almost five gallons of water, the measurement was at 356. I checked it again the next day and it was at 354 (STRIKE ONE). I tried to put my old OEM filter back in, but it would not install (STRIKE TWO). I emailed customer service at service@ecolifefilter.com, but receive no response or acknowledgement (STRIKE THREE). It would be nice if I could give this product a zero.
