SGF-DSA21 Refrigerator Filter (DA29-00012A Compatible)

Attention readers who want a filter that delivers pure, clean, uncontaminated water... Straight from the box: "This filter is not intended to purify water."

With no filter in place, the water dispenser on your refrigerator can't operate because there's a big gap between the incoming water line and the water dispenser on your fridge door. This will solve that problem. It bridges the gap between the water line coming into your fridge and the water dispenser on your fridge door. That's all I can say for it though. As a filter, it's worthless at least the manufacturer admits that in the label warning quoted above, straight from the box the filter comes in!

Yay, this filter is labeled as a "Green" product. Ecologically friendly plastic, huh? Who's zooming who, folks? I'd rather just hug a tree than drink industrially polluted water, and that's what flouridated water is. There is no process of burning to create carbon for use in this filter. But the trade-off is that while we prevent a small amount of pollution from the process of burning to create carbon for these filters, we are allowing our bodies to be polluted to a greater extent when we use them instead of carbon based filters. That trade-off isn't worth it to me.

The manufacturer claims that these filters "reduce" levels of chlorine taste and odor, cysts, and several other chemicals, but states proudly that it leaves a "healthy level of flouride" in your water. Regardless of which side of the flouridation debate you find yourself on, you can not deny that it is a means of mass medication, even according to the arguments made by those who support flouridation, and in many many cases, it is without consent of the consumer (ie yours truly). If I'm going to be medicated, I want it to be by a licensed dentist or physician, not by my city's water department. Additionally, it is medication without any means of controlling the dosage each person gets. The more water you drink, the higher your daily dose of flouride. Amazon won't allow a link here, so please do a search and educate yourself about the dangers of and true motives for municipal water flouridation.

Update: IT LEAKS!

I put this filter into my fridge a little over an hour ago, just went in to grab a snack now, and guess what? My fridge is flooded, and the water is rapidly dripping out of the filter housing. I read reviews of other model numbers of this same brand, and my leak isn't a unique experience. The only thing green about this filter is the green the manufacturer is taking out of your pocket for an absolutely worthless piece of junk. Please read the rest of the review as well! end edit -

Peace to all reading.

I bought 2 of these. The first one didn't fit well, took many attempts to get seated and the second didn't fit at all.
