Product review (1 stars): synthetic taste; felt water may be unsafe to drink
We purchased this filter in the hopes that we could save on the high cost of water filters.  It was our experience that you get what you pay for.  At first, I thought it was okay because I was drinking the water ice cold.  Once it sat at room temperature, however, you could get the real taste.  The water had a synthetic/plastic taste, not the taste of our usual tap water.  So the taste was being added from the filter itself.  Being a product of China, we weren't sure exactly what we were ingesting.  We felt it may be unsafe to drink and therefore purchased a "genuine" replacement filter, at a reasonable price on another site.  Will never buy a "compatible" brand again.
