I was frustrated and ready to pack it up and return it. It turns out that this is caused by air in the system, and not the fitment of the filter in the housing...I'm guessing? This apparently happens quite frequently when changing water filters in refrigerators. Anyway, I'm going to keep it. It seems like the air is out of the system, but we still have a very small drip or two after using the water dispenser. The other filter which was replaced was tight, meaning that there were no drips at all. Once the button on the dispenser was disengaged, things went completely dry, immediately. You ask why I didn't get the same as before? Well they don't carry it anymore.

Nothing special, decent price.

Update: It looks like they removed mention of the NSF 53 certification. Not sure what that means. Water through these still taste better than any other filters we've tried; however, the past few would not connect to our filter connector ruining the filter threading for three of them. It's a MUCH tighter fit than other brands. I've since disassembled the housing/connector and found the it dislodged the connector and was not seating correctly. after resolving that, they seem to work again.I researched the NSF certification claims, and found them to be truly certified. I also discovered the same chinese company makes almost all the 53 + 42 certified filters on the market, lol. The price was amazing, the water quality is excellent (tastes better than my Costco bottled water!), and it just works. Our non-functioning ice maker even works now, inexplicably.Before finding this, we were using the recommended 3rd party Water Sentinel filter not knowing it was only NSF 42 certified, and the water tasted so bad (plastic and chemical flavor) that we hadn't used the refrigerator for water in over a year. NOW, we can stop buying bottled water. So happy, I bought enough to last a few years.

This does not filter very well. Still taste the chlorine

I used this filter to replace a Samsung Aqua Pure filter. The Samsung was NSF 42 certified. This one apparently is also NSF 53 and 372 certified, so it filters additional chemical and biological content. I had no issues with leaks or installation. It comes with an indicator that you can activate to show all red when the filter's time is up (the fridge also has a reminder feature). Water taste is good and the flow rate was as expected. I had no sediments coming out during the initial purge.The model number printed on the box and the filter matches the certification data at NSF's site when you type in MB-00003G-P. The certification is for HongKong Ecoaqua Co., Limited / Qingdao. Beyond this, it is not possible to say that MaxBlue is indeed marketing this filter. Just have to trust it, and currently don't have a reason not to.

I used this in my Samsung refrigerator to replace an expired filter. The directions that were included made installation easy. It came with a little sticker with a button that apparently will indicate when the filter expires. However, there wasn’t any explanation about where to put it, or how it works. I put in on and we will see. I also used a magic marker and wrote the date on the outside of the filter. Just for my own satisfaction. The water coming out is clear, odorless and tasteless. Just as it should be. Great item, especially for the price. Much less expensive than the Samsung brand.

I gave this 4 stars because we've only been using for a couple days but after we ran a few gallons of water through, it tasted great. We were looking for an affordable replacement for the current filter. This seems to be it. I will give it a fifth star after we use it a few months.
