Product review (1 stars): Taste like pool water, minus the pee.
I'm disappointed that this product didn't work out for me as it did for everyone else. I purchased this because of its 4 star rating, i said it must be good, it was not. Maybe i just got a bad one, i did not want to risk it and buy another one. The filter itself looked great and installed just like the original one, no problems there. What i did notice about this filter is that it flowed water way more quicker than the genuine filter which makes me wonder whats really inside of it. the reason for the one star is that the filter literally made my water taste like pool water, major chlorine taste and odor. i mean it was intense. i figured i had to run some water through it and it would get better, i ran 3 gallons through it with no luck. Odor was there and so was the taste. With the genuine maytag filters i never have had this problem. needless to say i installed my old filter ran 2 cups through it and the water taste was back to normal. my 8 month filter had a better taste than this new filter. Like i said, with all the great reviews on this product it leads me to believe that maybe i just got a bad one, i have read many of the reviews and no one mentioned about it having a real strong chlorine taste/odor. hopefully you guys have better luck than i did. I returned it the next day thanks to Amazons great and easy return policy!
