13 years later . . .
While on the subject of refrigerator filters, we have a Samsung and the
filters are expensive. I bought a couple from discountfilters.com.
Cheaper, but they do not last very long so the overall cost will be the
same. I'm going back to the OEM filters. .

How do you mean? Do you sense a taste difference? Otherwise you change then by the light that is gallon based or by time, so I don't see how a different filter, the fridge would know.


A light goes on by gallons but the cheap filter worked fine originally
but it started to taste like city water long before the light would go
on the the OEM filter so I changed it out. I guess they don't have as
much carbon inside.
