I did not know this brand and it was a pleasant surprise the performance of this filter. It eliminated the smell of water, chlorine, etc. It is an economical and practical solution for a student house, vacation home, etc

From the first day, I realized that it cleans stones to a great extent, odor, etc. After 6 months of use (minimal for 2 people), I changed it today, 03/01/24. It held a lot of dirt, kids, I found mud and rust, maybe together. Without the filter, the refrigerator's water dispenser would fill with stones, sand, and a slight greenish/gooey substance within a week. With the filter, everything stopped, not even a trace of stones or gooey substance, and no odor. It's definitely worth buying.
