Product review (1 stars): Improves taste but does not meet safety standard like the more expensive LG filter
While this fits the LG fridge and does decrease chlorine and bad taste/odor, it does not meet the same standards as the spendy LG filter. This filter meets standard 42 which does remove chlorine and improve the taste and smell of your water. I tested it in my LG fridge, and the water tastes better than it did (as my LG filter had expired). But while LG also meets standard 52, this filter does not. That means that while this filter will improve the aesthetics of your water it will NOT address safety issues as it will not filter heavy metals (such as arsenic among many others), nitrates and nitrites, flouride or cysts from your water. If you trust your water company to provide you healthful water and want flouride in your water, this is a good option for you because it's much cheaper than the LG filter and does improve taste. I just plopped down 60 bucks for two genuine LG replacements as I just have more confidence in the safety of the product. I personally prefer the LG filter which meets both standards and improves the taste and aesthetics of my water and also addresses safety issues like the presence of heavy metals. Just know what you're getting- you're getting a filter that is a lot cheaper than LG but does not perform to the same standards. As one last interesting note, the package indicates this uses renewable coconut shells to act as the filter, which I don't know if that's good or bad.  Although the Aqua Fresh filter does work for improving taste, I'm knocking off four stars because I think the filter implies that it is identical to the LG when it is not because it does not meet standard 52 concerning safety issues.
