I ordered the 5231JA2006B/LT600P LG Refrigerator Replacement Water Filter Cartridge
removes the following impurities from your drinking water:
99.35% of Lead at pH 6.5
99.31% of Lead at pH 8.5
91.20% of Mercury at pH 8.5
96.70% of Mercury at pH 6.5
96.30% of Benzene
99.99% of Cysts
95.90% of Atrazine
99.09% of Lindane
93.06% of 2,4-D
97.60% of Chlorine
99.30% of Turbidity
99.90% of Particulates (Class I)
HOWEVER, instead I received the 5231JA2006A LG Refrigerator Replacement Water Filter Cartridge
removes the following impurities from your drinking water:
97.4% of Chlorine
93.2% of Particulates (Class I)
You can pick up the "A" cartridges for about $30, and they only remove Chlorine and 93% particulates.
I was unable to return via the web, and now have to contact Customer Service.
This the second Amazon approved vendor who sent me the wrong or bogus item LG LT600P Refrigerator Water Filter, 1 Pack (Part Number 5231JA2006B)
Bad News: See other reviews about Amazon and this vendor shipping an inferior product. This is true. I ordered knowing this was possible, but since the Product Details specifically mentioned that this is LG part number LT600P *and* the Product Description mentions all the impurities removed by the LT600P (which are NOT removed by the 5231JA2006A), I figured I'd take a chance.
Nope, my invoice shows that I ordered a LT600P (or "B" filter) but I was sent an LG 5231JA2006A, which as other reviewers pointed out is a substantially inferior product. I'm sure that this vendor and Amazon are covering their bases by saying on the product page: "Also known as the 5231JA2006A" but this is NOT A TRUE STATEMENT. The reviewer that stated that he called LG and LG says that it is the same is simply wrong. I verified this by: 1) going to another online retailer that offers both "A" and "B" filters for sale. The specs and price are most assuredly different on those two filters 2) The spec sheet that came in my "A" filter are substantially inferior to those listed on the product details page for the LT600P.
Now the Good News: I only paid approx $36 shipped, which is about what the inferior 5231JA2006A should cost online. The LT600P (also known as 5231JA2006B) costs around $45+ shipped. So, I paid the appropriate amount for the inferior product, and got same. They are still ripping people off by promising the better filter for the inferior product's price. Buyer Beware!
The filter described by the seller is the 5231JA2006B however the filter that they send out is the older model 5231JA2006A. I would recommend avoiding this seller and purchase a filter from someone that will deliver the actual filter you order. - Lg - Fridge Filter - Drinking Water - Water Filter'
