Product review (1 stars): Like everyone else
Like everyone else, I'm infuriated that Whirlpool changed their filters.  I cannot find the older type and after reading all the negative reviews, was skeptical about purchasing one of the newer ones.  I decided I had to and bought it locally; not from Amazon.  I flushed 4 gallons through it and there were particles and garbage coming out with my drinking water.  I put the 6 month old filter back in and the water was crystal clear.  What has everyone else been doing for filters?  I'm skeptical of aftermarket filters, especially the Chinese made garbage, but I do not know what to replace the filter with.
