Product review (1 stars): TDS from 178 to 145.
Strong plastic taste, filled up a jug and dumped it for about a half of an hour to see if the taste would go away. The taste went away for me, but my wife still tastes plastic, so I will be runing more water through it, and I hope it goes away, but who am I to say this, others might not notice the plastic taste, I can however show its filtration quality to you with a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter. The first photo is water from the kitchen sink, the second photo is from the fridge using the filter. For those of who who are big on details... The meter has fresh batteries, I used the same glass and rinsed with the water being tested several times. I think that's about it, oh for you curious types... Oscar
UPDATE: I cannot seem to post the second photo of the TDs at 145. I did add it but it did not upload.
Update3/10/15:I finally got fed up with the slow flow on this filter and Swapped it out to the expensive one and there is a pretty big difference in taste. The named brand one even though it is twice as much is worth it for flow rate I would say is double or close to double and they must use better plastics.
