Product review (1 stars): Were these new filters used??
I bought this 2-pack to replace the same brand filter I had purchased from Home Depot because the water flow was so slow and the refrigerator indicated time to change.  The disappointment is that the new filter flow is just a tiny bit faster than the filter it replaced.  The package says it is designed for .75 gal/minute, but I timed it and it only flows .25 gals in 52 seconds (about 1/3 the flow rate it should have.  It made me wonder it this was a used filter.  I took the 2nd filter out of the package and looked it over closely - due to some hear marks, it almost looked like it had been installed in a refrigerator previously.  I will be contacting amazon to find out about returning this two pack. I'm also quote dismayed that the filter states that you mus flush 4 gallons of water through it prior to use -- if a quart takes just under a minute, 4 gallons is over 15 minutes of flushing water through the filter!!  I don't plan to buy this brand again.
