Product review (2 stars): TASTES TERRIBLE
When my original factory filter was overdue for replacement, I was appalled to find that they were ridiculously expensive to replace. In search of a more cost effective means to filter our water I found these Swift Green Replacement filters. I ordered a three pack, which at the price was a tremendous value over the name brand filter. They arrived quickly and installed easily.. but that's where the good ended.

Even after running several gallons through the filter and dumping it down the drain it the water still had a terrible flavor to it. MUCH worse than our unfiltered tap water.

When I first got the refrigerator, the water tasted the way a hot inflatable beach ball smells... but after about 5 gallons it went away to the point where it was not noticeable at all.

This filter however has tasted the same since day one. No matter how much water I run through it, the water still has a faint bad taste...somewhat like the way a dirty sponge smells. Although the smell and taste isn't very strong, it's still enough to affect the flavor of the water even with iced tea mix or similar powders mixed it. It's repulsive. You get what you pay for.
