perfectpure Water Filter Compatible with Samsung DA29-00003G, DA29-00003F, DA29-00003A, DA29-00003B Models - NSF 42 Certified - Made in The USA - (1 Pack)

I have installed these filters and they fit in correctly.. I ran around 4 gallons of water after installing.. even after that I could see particles floating around in the water. I thought may be it would go away and I have to run more water through the filter.. I have used this for a week and still the dirt floats around the water. It would be just for your satisfaction that you are using the filter in the refrigerator.. Not worth for the low price.. Instead of this I would go to the original Samsung filters.Going back..

I purchased this filter for my Samsung refrigerator. It fit well without any issues. Make sure to follow the instructions and pre-fill it with water before installing it. It will keep the minimize the air in your hose lines and reduce the noise as it cycles through. If you don't pre-fill it its ok too it will just make more noise initially. Once all the air is out of the hose it is noise free. Also, since these filters use carbon as the filtration mechanism make sure you run at least a couple gallons of water through it to wash out some of the loose carbon particles. I rated this as a 4 star product due to the initial taste of the water after installing it. This was after running at least 4 gallons through it before drinking the water. I've used similar non-OEM brand filters but this is the 1st that had a noticeable taste to it. The taste did go away after a few days. Either that or we just got use to it.Cons:Water had a taste to it initially after installing it. It did eventually go away.Pros:No issues installing itDidn't leakRestored the flow rate compared to my old used filterLess costly than OEMDidn't make us sickFiltration seemed to work as intended.... didn't see any floaties/particles in the water

EDIT: I wanted to quickly revisit this review because I've been using this for a few more days while I await the Samsung replacement I ordered from Amazon... After more use, there is less particulate floating around, the hiccups are now limited to just one around 2-3 seconds after I start filling my glass, and the drips are down to just 2-3 right after filling. So, not as bad as it was at first and at least approaching a reasonable compromise on quality if you want to avoid the much higher cost of the Samsung.But at the end of the day, the water from this still doesn't taste as "crisp" as it does from the Samsung (though it certainly tastes better than it does straight from the tap!) so for my own needs/preference, the Samsung is worth the extra money. But if you can live with these trade-offs, perhaps this filter will be good for you._________ORIGINAL 2-STAR REVIEW:Would have thought that most filters are mostly the same... But this one is clearly inferior to the Samsung ones that I originally received with my fridge and have used for over 3 years...1) I flushed the filter as instructed (passed more than 15 liters of water through it) however there is particulate floating in the water...whereas my water straight from my kitchen faucet is crystal clear!2) The water now "hiccups" every 10 seconds or so as it runs. (i.e. it will stop filling for half a second even though I keep the lever depressed)3) Bizarrely, the spigot drips significantly (more than 10-15 seconds of drip-drop-drip-drop) whenever I release the lever -- there was never *any* dripping while using the Samsung filters!It's nice that these seem to have a little more "flow" through them so that my glass fills quicker... But it's definitely not nice at the expense of these other three issues that are much more important! I'll need to go back to Samsung.

Be aware of leaking water.I bought this product due to its cheap price. What a big mistake that I made. About 2 weeks after I installed the unit, all in sudden water leaked out uncontrollably from the edge of the connecting area. It wetted my whole kitchen and caused a lot of work for clean-up the kitchen and the frige. I thought that particular unit was defective, so I replaced with another one (which I bought at the same time). Again, about 2-3 weeks later, it leaked again, and of course wetted my kitchen again. Good thing is that both times I was home, other I will have a flooded house. I will never buy this product again in my life.

We have a Samsung French door refrigerator and have always used the Samsung filter. The last one we bought was a nightmare to get in. After checking online, we discovered this is a common problem and you have to modify them to get them to work. My husband took it to the garage and did some shaving away of the teeth to make it work. I decided to try this one and expected the same hassle but at least it would be a lot less expensive. Imagine our surprise when it went right in and locked with no effort. We have only had it in for a week so I can't attest to the longevity or effectiveness yet. I also am not sure it filters same sediments as the Samsung one although it does say comparable. I also like the fact that it is made in the USA.
