I'm tired of paying for those overpriced Samsung filters so I wanted to try a cheaper alternative but I also wanted to make sure they would filter the same as the OEM. When I bought this filter I also bought a PPM meter to test how this cheaper alternative compares to Samsung. Although I didn't get a chance to test the new Samsung filter, my 6 month old Samsung filter showed around 47ppm. My tap water baseline was around 55ppm, so where I live is pretty clean. So I put my haze filter in. Before a gallon of cleaning water was let through, the reading was high around the 80's. I had already expected that, since all filters need water for rinsing. After about 1 gallon of water the PPM dropped to about 52-55. This was close to my original tap water readings. At this point I was unimpressed and concerned that it doesn't filter at all since it's close to my tap water from the sink. So I used it for a week before coming to a conclusion. After a week of use, the test showed a PPM of around 45! good enough for me As long as it filters some and is close to Samsung's filters, this is a great buy!
