Lg Vertical Refrigerator Water Filter, 4

I have replaced the water filter in our LG refrigerator 8 times with the LG LT700P and a couple times with other, less expensive, brands. The LG brand has been reliable in fit (no leaks) and performance (cleanest tasting water, definitely better than the tap water going into it). The others improved water taste, but not as well as the LT700P. One other brand oddly came pressurized enough to blow the cap off as soon as the plastic wrap was cut. That never happened with the LT700P. Although the LT700P is considerably more expensive than the others (minus 1 star for that), it has proven to be reliable and to perform very well.

The prior filter design fit properly and was so effective. However, the new one does not fit well and it leaks!!! Please listen to your customers and provide us with a quality filter as you have in the past. The refrigerator is good; the filter is NOT!

My filter needed replacing. Since I have well water, I wasn't sure if it was necessary. I had placed the temporary 'Fake' filter in. Right away I noticed the change in the taste of the water. Ordered one immediately and will not delay replacement in the furture [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

After the initial six months of operation, I started to experience low water flow from the drinking water feature of my refrigerator. I reviewed the trouble shooting section of the LG refrigerator owner's manual and it recommended changing the water filter. I inserted the new filter and the flow returned to the higher level that I experienced upon the new refrigerator installation. After 2 months of operation using the replacement filter, I started to experience limited water flow. I changed the filter again. Again, after 2 months of operation, the flow has been reduced. I live in an area where the water quality meets federal quality standards. Replacing the filter every 2 months is price prohibitive.

This product is an easy change filter that is necessary here where we have poor water coming in that really needs a good filter. The performance is excellent for this area of the country. I change twice a year and have had no issues with the ice maker or water it filters. The overall design of the filter system and ability to change it easily and quickly helped us decide on this particular refrigerator.
