Product review (5 stars): Very Satisfied
This seems to be a great replacement filter so far. I have had it a week and have no problems. The water tastes great and the installation was as simple as the previous model. I can say that I didn't have any issues with discolored water or carbon after the initial soak and install. I filled the canister and let it sit for about 10 minutes before installing it. It can be hard to fill completely but I just set it into a bowl and trickled water onto it until the bubbles stopped coming out of the top. Installed it into the fridge and ran a few pints of water through the system before drinking any. The water is clear and great tasting. I am on a well so this is really only a precaution for keeping any sand particles out of the system.

I will be purchasing another when this one needs changed.
