Product review (4 stars): Good flow, Not as pictured
I admit that I was leery of purchasing these filters as a previous experience with a non-Samsung filter left me wanting. The specific concern was that the filter flow would be a trickle, as was the case with another manufacturer. This flow on this filter is up to what I experienced with Samsung filters. I cannot tell a difference between the two. There are no taste, discoloration, or other issues.
It should be noted that the filter pictured is NOT what you will get. Apparently in an effort to cut costs, they eliminated one of the rubber O--rings, so rather than two as in the picture and Samsung filter, there is just one. Leakage has not been a problem for me, but perhaps that cost-cutting measure is what is causing problems with others who note leakage. I have not experienced any to date, although the lack of a second, redundant O-ring is a bit annoying, especially when it is shown in the product picture. Misleading at best, false advertising at worst. Just change the picture, for Pete's sake!
