I decided to give this filter a try after reading mostly positive reviews. After installing it and trying it, I'm curious about exactly what kind of taste buds other people have. The filter looks pretty similar to the factory unit, but the outside wrapping is different. Who knows what the inside is, but going by the taste, this filter is definitely not of the same quality. The first and most obvious hint that it wasn't going to be the same, was after I installed it, turned on the water, and opened the faucet. The water comes at at least twice as fast as it did with the factory filter. Water splashed everywhere. I had to turn the water valve to half closed to get a similar water output at the faucet. What this should tell anyone, is that the membrane and carbon are not of the same density as the factory filter. Plus, simple science tells us that the longer and slower water passes through a filter, the more time it has to filter out impurities. (filter types and size being equal of course) The taste was pretty close to tap water, maybe just a bit better, but by no means that "clean clear taste" you expect from filtered or bottled water. I wish it was the same quality, because the factory filter is so much more expensive, but like they say, the Devil is in the details. This filter is nowhere near the quality of the factory one. Its similar to going into a tire store, wanting to get (for instance) Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, and the salesman shows you a "similar looking" off brand tire, that the tread looks almost the same. Of course it's not going to perform anywhere near the Michelin, because it takes Michelin millions of dollars and thousands of hours of testing to get the exact compound. Anyway, pay for the factory filter. You'll appreciate it, even if your wallet is a little lighter.

I purchased the CB6 Carbon Block Water Filter Replacement and it works great. Installation was simple, and the water tastes clean and fresh. The filter fits perfectly and performs just as described. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Tod muy bien gracias Dlb🙏🏽

I write this review so no one else makes the same mistake that I have done. When it comes to your health do not take the short cut and try to save a few dollars. I bought this product thinking that I will save money but I actually lost money because my tap water looks cleaner. I have to run the water for a while before I see the water clean. Even after that, I am not sure if this filter is making any difference because the water from the tap looks very clean as well.
