Product review (5 stars): Good Value Alternative
These filters are a good quality alternative to the OEM Samsung filters. Water and ice cubes still taste as good, so no sacrifice there. Water dispenser flow rate is as good as the originals. Tip: After you flush approximately 1/2 gallon of water to clear out the charcoal particles, give it about 24 hrs. for the flow rate to increase to normal. Also, if your flow rate seems a little low, make sure you have rotated the filter all the way to the stop. You are opening the valve by rotating the filter and just a 1/4 inch short of full stop, will slow down the water flow. Don't ask how I know this, I think someone improperly installed the last one, definitely not me...lol Last point, having a spare on hand to replace a used cartridge is soooo convenient. I always order as soon as I install the second cartridge.
