Well water taste removed

My house has well water. This filter removes the funky taste. We have had a couple bad filters and after researching online, it seems to be common enough to mention. We use filtered water for coffee and pets and to stay hydrated so we go through about 5 pitchers a day and it does last almost 6 months.

Very easy to remove and reinstall. I was wary of knockoffs based on reviews from a certain South American rainforest website, so I went with BestBuy since this was where I bought my fridge. Was not disappointed.

Says it removes 50 impurities

Unless this filter is "defective" and a one off, I would definitely find another one and test it, and look for other brands to test. I tested the one we got with a very good ppm detector for water, and it removed less than 5% of the detected chemicals.
No way would I drink this "filtered" water.
See the pics of before and after ppm's after filtering.

Our XWFE filter is designed to be used in select model GE and GE Profile brand refrigerators. This filter is NSF42 and 53 certified to remove contaminants and impurities in your water. We'd recommend checking with your dealer about exchanging this filter. -Vikki@GEAppliances

It says in the instructions to use continuously for a few gallons to make sure all the black particles get cleared out. Well I have used more than 10 gallons and there are still always black particles in my water. I think I got a defective one and it feels like I wasted my money.

This refrigerator water filter works great — the water tastes fresh, clean, and free of any chlorine odor. Super easy to install, fits perfectly, and the flow is strong. Definitely a reliable replacement filter that keeps the fridge water crisp and refreshing every time.

Very excited to find that Best Buy carries the 'real' XWFE filters. I had previously bought from a large online retailer and the filters did not work because they were XWF filters with a XWFE label. The XWFE filters have a microchip which permits the water to flow! I will stick with BestBuy or GE to source my future filters!
This filter is very easy to change and provides excellent water in my fridge! Ice cubes are excellent and water tastes great.
NOTE" when using this filters, be certain to fun plenty of water through after changing them so that all of the carbon dust is flushed out... otherwise, dark cubes! (won't hurt you , just looks bad!).

We bought a GE - 25.6 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator and every 6 months we have to replace the water filter. So far, so good. Product is reliable and water looks very fresh and clean. The filter is super easy to install, just keep in mind ... $50 every 6 months!
