Product review (1 stars): maybe 20 gallons through this thing and the water still tastes like crap. (tainted by plastic filter taste)
I've ran at least 15, maybe 20 gallons through this thing and the water still tastes like crap. (tainted by plastic filter taste)  ...  I don't know how much water you need to run through it when you first get it to get the taste to go away, the directions say 7 gallons or so, but it's much more than that...  The original Whirlpool filter took about 3 gallons and tasted fine after that.  I'm sick of standing at my fridge running water through it trying to "break in" the new filter.  It takes a long time to run this much water through a 1/4" water line.  I'll give it another 5 gallons or so before I give up and yank it and replace it with a Whirlpool filter, this is ridiculous.
