Product review (1 stars): Poor quality, skip Golden Corral and save up the money for a PUR
I purchased this item because it was much cheaper than the PUR brand filters I've always used.  This was an error in judgement on my part.

First thing I noticed was that instead of water merely shooting out of my water dispenser in a tranquil stream it now comes charging out of there with all the authority of a firehose.  So now I get to hold my glass at a special angle when filling them or water splashes all over me or the floor, refrigerator door, my dog, yeah you get it.  Every see a child try to fill up a small bucket with a hose turned on full blast?

This massive increase in water pressure makes me feel like this thing doesn't actually do any filtering.  How do I know this?  Because my water went from tasting like a sip out of a crystal clear waterfall in the Swiss Alps to tasting like dirty dog bath water with notes of rust and old gasoline.  To be fair it didn't make my terrible city water taste worse, I just don't think it actually does a good job as a filter.  Which is the one thing its supposed to do.

In the end this is a neat little plastic piece that you can pay money for and pretend that you actually care about having filtered water.
