Even fresh filters that have been flushed allows white specks in my water and coffee press. Trying a different brand next time.

This filter works well, it reduced the smell of chlorine from the water. However, the adapter came apart as soon as it warmed up in the direct sunlight. The hose became very soft in the heat. I purchased a different connector at the hardware store and it works great. Again, the actual filter does it's job.

I have several watedrop filters in my home, this one was for my refrigerator water dispenser and Ice maker. Living in San Antonio Tx. we have some of the hardest water in the country and this filter really makes a difference on the quality of ice my refrigerator makes.

This says it is NOT for the 'E' (RPWF E) however, with a simple 'Work Around', it can be used in a GE Profile Series refrigerator. GE uses the 'E' series water filter with a simple RFID tag as a SHAMEFUL marketing/sales 'Gimmick' to justify TRIPPING the price of a good water filter. What benefit does the RFID tag provide for the additional $20 to $30? -Does it help the filter measure percent of filter contamination? NO, IT DOES NOT! -Perhaps it measures the pressure drop as the filter becomes more clogged, alerting the owner to the problem. NO, IT DOES NOT! -Does it show a potential failure of the filter media, alerting the owner? NO, IT DOES NOT! -How about leak detection, preventing water damage to the refrigerator? IT DOES NOT! Then WHY is the RFID tag on the back of each filter....????? FOUR reasons: 1-Run a SIMPLE countdown timer (worth about 50 cents), 2-Turns on the "OVERDUE" light, REGARDLESS of the level of TRUE contamination of the filter. 3-Uses filter 'Serial number' identification to STOP the CUSTOMER from simply removing the RFID tag from the back of an old filter using the tag for a 'Non-RFID' tagged filter and PREVENTS the CUSTOMER from saving money! 4-MAIN REASON get the customer to PAY M-U-C-H more for each filter than it is worth and buy filters ONLY from GE!!!! NO competition, a MONOPOLY! ----Imagine if the car companies did that! You could ONLY buy tires from your local dealer for your make and model of car! Here is how I now use THIS water filter (and others) in my GE Profile Series refrigerator. 1-Locate the 'Blank' filter by-pass plastic piece sent with your GE Profile Series refrigerator (found this from another reviewer noting there was an RFDI tag on the back of the by-pass). 2-Locate the label "BACK This side must face inward" and peel it off. (see the picture) 3-Remove the RFID tag under the label. 4-Open the water filter housing cover inside the refrigerator. 5-Place the RFID tag over the 'FCC' label on the back inside the filter housing near the screw, hold in place by re-using the label you peeled off the 'Blank' filter by-pass. (see picture) NOW you can install ANY water filter compatible with GE RPWF (NOT 'E'), saving from $20 to $30+ each!! --NOTE: 1-This fix will turn OFF the countdown feature but WILL leave ON the Oz. fill and 'Auto-Fill' features. 2-The front panel will now show "NOT FILTERING" when you fill a container with water or ice (even though you installed a new filter). This additional insult to the CUSTOMER can be simply overridden by: A) Removing the two screws (inside the upper opening of the dispenser in the door) holding the display on the door. B) Removing the circuit board connectors C) Removing the Torx screws holding the circuit board to the display. D) Placing a small rectangular piece of black tape over the "NOT" word on the display. (See Picture) E) Reassemble. Happily chose ANY compatible filter saving $20 to $30 each filter change! (This filter too)

Use RFWF in RPWFE unit without the past due displays showing. Invest 20 minutes time, and three pieces of black electrical tape. You will need a phillips screwdriver to remove two screws on the underside of the panel and a T10 torx driver for the four printed circuit screws. I have unplugged the circuit board with the power on with no adverse effects. Tape over the offending graphics re assemble and you are done. When initially taking the panel off make note that it slides down then out. It goes on the same way center underneath then push up into the four locator holes. Do not force it to bend in, take your time. You now have access to filters for 1/4 the cost of a GE RPWFE. Enjoy. A more high tech approach; I just bought a RFID reader reprogrammer with blank cards and blank chips that read's the 10 of the most common RFID frequencies, I had the hope of reading and reprograming the existing RFID chip in the RPWFE filter. Well the RFID chip, is not typical, it does not read @ 125, 250, 375, 500, 625, 750, 875, 1000, kHz or 13.56 Mhz. I was hoping to read and either re program or clone another RFID serial number to fool the frig that it got a new filter. Well, that is not going anywhere soon. I know there is an answer and it will be found. Ge uses a 13.56 MHz RFID chip that has a dual oriented read/return signal. It accepts an instruction to transmit its unique to the filter code in one orientation but reads the return signal 90 degrees out of phase. This is why a typical 13.56 MHz RFID reader will not program a new chip for it.

FINALLY! I ordered several different replacement filters for my LRFWS2906V refrigerator. All the new filters seemingly did not fit and I ended up returning them all... a waste of time, plastic, resources, etc. Really sad. This filter was no different than all the other new style filters (top filter in attached photo.) HOWEVER, I happened to read one comment by another user that he had the same issue, but that it was solved when he wrote to the manufacturer and received a little plastic tool to adjust/turn the receptacle in the filter holder. I was skeptical since the old filter had no issue being popped in and out and because of the obvious physical difference in the filter tips... but he was correct! The tool did solve the issue. Apparently, the design change is responsible for the new filters not fitting in some people's refrigerators, but the tool just twists the receptacle to the "proper" position so that the new filters can be used. The old tips were just less picky about the positioning of the receptacle. This also apparently explains why some people had no problem at all and others, like me, could not get these new filters to work at all, originally. This really should be explained in the product description and the tool should be included for free in a "kit" version for those that require it.

Bought this one because it also takes out pharmaceuticals. Did the hack others have shown online. Removed the GE label with chip very carefully (heated with hairdryer first) using razor blade to lift edges. Tried sticking it to the back panel but got the ERR, placement was probably off. So put it on the Waterdrop in same position as on GE with 2 rubber bands. Tastes great, perfectly clear water.

I like the filter. The water tastes very good.

I can’t say enough about how well this company treated me. I had trouble fitting it into my current plumbing set up, and when I called them, they were able to walk me through the steps and find a resolution for my problems. When I had a leak in one part they quickly sent me, a whole new assembly. I have not experienced such a good customer service in a long time. I would highly recommend this company and this product.

Just did a water test. Just got the new filters in the mail. When I had Zerowater it would only last two weeks. Waterdrop lasts a month and lab tests show better results on water quality when you watch the review online. I forgot to flush it was water. Not with the waterdrop filter with PPM is 1 .

The installation was easy, however, I’m having a problem with the water quality. I installed both of these today one in my home and one in my mother‘s home, and they both are having the same issue. The water is coming out cloudy. When I turn on the water to about halfway, the water is a cloudy white, but if I turn on the water to its maximum level, the water is clear. What is going on here? Can someone please help.

I am absolutely loving the Water Drop Alkaline Water Dispenser! The water tastes noticeably fresher, cleaner, and smoother since switching. I can tell the difference in the pH balance—it’s less harsh and easier on the stomach. It holds a generous amount and is super easy to refill and maintain. The sleek design fits perfectly on my counter and doesn’t take up too much space. I feel so much better knowing my family is drinking clean, mineral-rich water every day. If you’re looking to upgrade your daily hydration—this is it!

Very happy with this filter. Took 5 minutes to install and the water tastes great! I’ve been using it for just a couple of weeks, so I have no idea how long the filters will last. But everything is great so far! It’s great because you don’t have to drill, it comes right out of the regular cold water tap.

Filter quality is great. I Compared our local tap water to the filtered water, and you can see the difference in the picture. Our city had a lot of rain recently and the city reported the yellow colored water was chorine. I’m excited to know the filters works well.
