Product review (4 stars): Good tasting water. Better price.
I have had this filter installed for about two weeks and so far so good. The filter is slightly smaller than my last LG brand filter so I'm expecting a slightly shorter life on them than the 6 months they tell me on the filter. Even if it lasts only 4 months it will be money well spent.
The water tastes good out of this filter and that is all you can ask for.
You MUST filter at least 4-5 gallons out before you can start using the water to drink. This is usually the norm for most filters. I use my the coffee carafe to take care of this in about five minutes. It holds a lot of water and you can see the water clearing up as you do it.

I'm almost three months into this filter and the water still tastes great. I would highly recommend this filter.
