Works great and it's cheaper
You wouldn't think installing a water filter in a refrigerator is rocket science but apparently some people have had trouble with these filters. We use them and haven't had any trouble. If you follow the instructions you won't have any either. They're pretty straightforward:
- Fill the new filter with water. Tap the sides of the filter and add water if necessary, until the bubbles stop coming up.
- After the new filter is installed, run the water dispenser for 3 minutes.
It's that simple. We still get a few minor sputters after running the dispenser but that goes away quickly. The flow doesn't seem any less than through a new GE filter and the water tastes fine.
To remember when to change it write the date on the filter with a permanent marker after the filter's installed (so you can see the date clearly).

Makes water taste better less cost than GE
We buy this for our GE fridge because the actual GE filters are expensive...this works just as well and costs less. Makes our water taste so much better!

Slow and short life
I have used many GE filters for my fridge and my experiance is that our active family consumes a filter every 4 months. By consumes I mean that the filter becomes too slow to be practical to use. I bought two of the Brita filters to try them out recently. I just replaced the first after only 1 month. It was slower than the GE product on day 1. This may mean that it is filtering more but the cost $300+ per year and the wait make it impractical. I am tring my second Brita and if my experiance with that one is greatly different I will revise my review. In the meantime I will be ordering some GE filters to have on hand for the next change.
