I bought this product because it was cheaper than the Samsung filter. It does fit , but the problem is that my water has a strong chlorine taste to it

Not here. I do also run an in-line filter from the water supply that I was using before we replaced the refrigerator with the Samsung.

I am not sure. However, I still am using aqua mira that I've bought in 2008. The containers are almost empty, but when I mix the A and B solutions, there's still that strong chlorine odor. I store the containers in a cool room. I am still using it and the water still tastes the same.

Yea it does, the built in filter removes a lot of sediment and chlorine smell and taste.

My tap water is so bad. I can smell and taste the chlorine and have always bought bottled water, until this new refrigerator. I tried the water from the dispenser and it is fine. After buying the compatible filter after the first six months, I see no difference in the quality. It is just as good as the original GE filter and will continue to purchase them from the seller I used. Saving on both filters and bottled water.

Yes. We switched water filters specifically because I noticed a strong chlorine taste in our water that our Brita did little to nothing to remove. It was so bad I could no longer drink it. I used the chlorine tests I used for our pool and got pretty high Cl readings. After using the Clear2o the chlorine readings went to zero. Also no chlorine taste. There are a few things that are not perfect about the product but it does a great job of clearing out chlorine.

I've had both and this filter is a lot easier to take care of from my point of view. The water tastes great...no chlorine smell or taste. I've also found the cost to be less, but we did have a company service our reverse osmosis system.

I haven't tried it, but the filter is for removing chlorine which means it is filled with activated carbon most likely. You want a deionization filter which removes charged particles that would result in scaling, aka water spots.

Here is the answer we got from Samsung tech who was called to the house when the new fridge water tasted terrible. The filter has to be inserted and turned to catch, THEN PUSHED UPWARD AND TURNED TO ENGAGE THE FILTER COMPLETELY. Then the arrows will line up. We knew something was wrong when there was no water in the original filter when first removed. Apparently, the guys who installed the fridge never fully engaged the filter, and I followed their lead. The filter works perfectly now. We were also cautioned about "generic" filters that are knock-off quality and not able to filter as well or as long. There are duplicate Samsung filters made in Korea that are low rated but look exactly the same. Genuine Samsung filters with a higher rating are made in Mexico. Hope this helps.

I dont know..but I had my Berkey filtered water tested and it had the same chlorine as my tap water so Berkey does not work for chlorine...which to me is a major problem

There is nothing wrong with the 4 gallon model. I am VERY happy with this product! It removes everything! Chicago water is heavily chlorinated and all you can taste is the chlorine in the water. After it goes through the Zen filter, you taste NONE of it! It actually reminds me of Evian water.

In my opinion it does. Before using the filter, I could smell the chlorine in my shower water. Once I installed the filter, I did not smell the chlorine.

Absolutely. It goes in-line between the filter & the return port. The water is chlorinated as it is fed back into the pool.

There are 2 types of filters long skinny or short fat one. My Samsung frig used the long skinny one. I choose to save $25 an buy a knock off brand. I noticed immediately water flow is weak. Then my ice maker quit working. Replaced this filter with a samsung $50 water flow strong an ice maker works. So much for buying a cheaper filter didn't work for me. I'll pay the fifty bucks for a samsung filter from now on.

its not worth doing because you can easily taste the water after installing the $60.00filter and let me tell you the $15.00 filter does a better job in taste then the expensive one..not worth the money....

There is a cross reference on the watersentinel.com website if you know the model number of the current Samsung filter you are using.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.
