I have bought it many times. Generally, I was satisfied. However, the last time the water smelled and had a strange taste. I let a large amount of water run, but it didn't make much difference. I had to change it in a hurry!

It was installed according to the instructions both from the box and from the internet, undoubtedly in the correct orientation. It releases something like very fine and imperceptible black dust into the filtered water, which is obviously a leakage of micro-particles of carbon due to poor construction or internal assembly of the filter materials, which is fixed and cannot accept external intervention. I don't know if it's unhealthy, but it's quite annoying to see it in the glass or in the ice cubes. So far, I haven't had the time to contact the store for a replacement or refund, but I was caught by the form for sending a review from skroutz.

When I bought the LG refrigerator in 2007, inside the package there was the connection record to the faucet, the white tube, and the filter which had an arrow indicating the flow direction. Because I live in Athens, I didn't notice much difference, but after two or three months I could no longer drink tap water, my body had gotten used to the taste of filtered water. Now I only drink mineral water or filtered water. I bought the last filter two months ago, but the one I've been using for exactly 4 years I haven't changed yet, it's outside and has not been affected at all by the weather conditions. I filter around 1,200 to 1,500 liters per year. For me, it's an excellent choice that is not worth risking to get a cheaper one. The prices range from 36 to 26 euros depending on the season

What can I share? I simply bought this because it's the same brand as my refrigerator. The water is good, I didn't do any chemical analysis or anything.

Well, what can you say, do you understand by seeing or drinking.... for the installation at least the only complaint is that the direction in which you should connect it is not visible "on" the filter. But there is a design on the box that shows it. I have seen other filters for half the price and/or that produce more liters. I don't know what makes this one so special, but I'm not an expert. I bought it because my refrigerator is LG. Next time I will try another brand maybe I will understand.

I put it in an LG refrigerator with a linear compressor a month ago. I haven't encountered any problems, neither during installation nor during use
