Product review (4 stars): Water tastes fine, air-bubbles are a minor annoyance however.
This Samsung compatible filter is a great $$ saver, however, I'm surprised by how long it takes to bleed the air out of the water system in the refrigerator after this filter is installed.  I may have missed something, but the instructions did not include any warnings about this, or instructions regarding pre-soaking.  I will update this review in the next 4-6 months when I use the second filter to see if pre-soaking the filter in a pot of water and perhaps tapping the bubbles out eliminates/reduces this issue.
