Product review (5 stars): Hit the Jackpot with this item!!  Win, win, win!
Bought this filter for our Kenmore refrigerator, during the drought in California when we had the algae smell and taste in our great EBMUD water system.  Normally we have great tasting water, so we know what good water is!  This filtered out both the algae bloom taste and smell.  I even used the cold, filtered water for our coffee....so much better.  I continued using the filter after the algae blooms were gone from the water sources.  I purchased the filter in August, 2015 and am replacing it now, because we are drinking more water than ever.  Great find on Amazon, as it saves us a trip to Sears, and it costs a lot less on Amazon!
