Crucial Fridge Replacement Water Filter, Fits Frigidaire RG100, RC200, WFCB, WF1CB Filters, 3 Pack

by Water Sentinel

Product Description

This refrigerator water filter contains a compressed carbon block which provides tremendous capacity to remove and/or reduce impurities and sediment that may be present in your drinking water. The carbon block has millions of active sites on its surface and within the structure which can absorb impurities like a sponge, and can adsorb and hold other types of impurities on its surface like a magnet. Additionally, this filter can catalytically breakdown other impurities very similar to the way a catalytic converter works in your automobile. These processes ensure that you are getting the cleanest and best tasting water possible. This economical filter will provide you with fresh and clean tasting water and ice cubes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible filter... buy the factory ones!!!, August 13, 2010

I bought a 3 pack of these and could not be more dissatisfied. The water tasted horrible (extremely chemically) from the very first glass (after the 3 minutes flush that was recommended). I used the first filter for about 1 month and the horrible taste was just as strong as the first glass. I am throwing this one (along with the other 2 that came in the pack) away. I went to Best buy and bought a factory Frigidaire filter and the water is back to tasting amazing, crisp and clean. If you shop around online you can find factory filters for less. But remember, you get what you pay for. This has been a $23 lesson to never buy cheap water filters.

we saw the positive reviews here and thought 'how bad can it be?' well let me tell you - *beyond bad - it's awful*. we have had our Frigidaire fridge for 5 years. used pure source filters from an online filter vendor since. this time, when i stumbled upon the RG100 generic filters here, read some positive reviews (and especially noting the price), i decided to give it a shot. result was a week of awful tasting water that did not improve with continued use. we tried to be patient with these filters. thought they would improve with time. but we ended up pouring gallons of water down the sink in vain. it got to the point that when a guest asked for a glass of water the other day, i felt embarrassed to pour her some. well lesson learned. now i know the $30 expense for the pure source filter is well worth it. we replaced these with said filter from a local store this weekend. thank god for good, clean tasting water. and i must say - i am totally confused by the good reviews here.

I received today. Item is slightly shorter than the brand filter. Also the pore size appears to be larger than the brand. It did seem to fit properly in the unit, so I hope it will filter well. No specs listed for what it removes or particle size, but on close inspection of filters the brand has very fine filter papers beneath the plastic netting and the generic one here does not (At least not visible from outside). Much cheaper though, so hopefully quality will be sufficient. Manufacturers should list the filter rates so people know what they are buying. Well cheaper does often mean you give something up. In this taste we did. I can still taste all the dirty water. It taste terrible. At 1st I thought it was do to the needed a flush , not. Poor sizes much larger than on brand. From the physical this is a particle filter only. Spend more on a better product.

After using this, I am very dissatisfied with the product. However the company has told me they will replace or refund my money. I will choose to refund. Not the bargain I thought.
