The product fits well with my Whirpool brand but the problem I am facing is the taste. I smell a different taste. Any remedy out there? .

My issue for replacing this part and my ice making unit started with an appearance of peeling inside my ice maker tray. The coating was flaking into the ice it made. Could be your taste issue. Assuming your not dealing with a bad filter cartridge. I hope this helps.

I didn't have that problem I let water run in about 5 glasses before drinking maybe change filter that might help

My system had that same bad taste and odor. I even flushed the system many times and unplugged the UV lamp and still had the same outcome. The water tasted fine after many flushes, but returned to the same bad taste/smell after a few days EVERY time. Even with the UV lamp unplugged. I believe there is something toxic in the tank and have gotten rid of this system. Good luck.

I had a similar problem. The water was picking up a rubbery taste from the tank (inside the tank is a rubber balloon like bladder that stores the water). Usually this is filtered out by the Stage 4 mechanism, but the wiring I did bypassed the Stage 4 - so I had to add a polishing filter right out to the tap.

It's an acquired taste sort of like wheatgrass. Try adding honey or raw Stevie it'll sweeten it somewhat but I've learned that the pros outweighs the taste. Because of the numerous bodily benefits after a while I just got use to the taste. Or try mixing non concentrated raw Apple juice...not so bad. Your body will thank you for it ����

Ours did that and later it messed up and we ended up exchanging it (unrelated problem). The new one did not have the smell/taste at all! I think there's something wrong with it.

In my experience, there is a hint, or trace, of chlorine-like taste in the water after it has been treated. However, it is not at a level that might make it objectionable, at least to me. There doesn't seem to be any change in the texture or consistency of the water after it has been treated. Hope this helps.

Hi -nooo take it back. I get it from ralphs it should taste like regualr butter. they may have put in cooler with fish and absorbed the oders

Washing the filter basket and insert should solve the taste problem. Since the machine is made of plastic, the smell will just have to wear off.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

gees, sorry! I guess you may have a problem BUT, there are several different variations. Maybe you could try one of those. I think the smell is delicious and I can acyually smell it on my towel for a while after showering :)

I change the water a lot. It's just part of my kitchen routine. I wonder about your water type. We have really good water here but I have been places where the water had a strange taste. I love this dispenser.

I used the same exact products and here I am trying to figure out why this second batch in my new yogurt maker is grainy, bitter and even adding 2 tsp vanilla doesnt seem to help it. The whey was all seperate when I removed to the fridg so sorta though oh oh! Im even using a termometer and follow all the directions but now thinking even tho it didnt boil maybe it was to hot. A real science to this after all.

A funny taste would indicate that some bacteria remains. Have you tried running it through the dishwasher? They also have brushes availableBest to rinse after use. Hope this helps.

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting us! We are happy to help. This product has an alcohol-like taste to it due to the fact that alcohol is an ingredient. When mixed with water, it is relatively flavorless. I personally just tried a little bit of some that one of our product specialists had and didn't find the taste unpleasant or too strong. Please keep in mind that everyone's senses are a bit different, and what may not be strong to one person may be different for another. We hope this information is helpful! If we can assist with anything further, please let us know! Jenna G. Swanson Health Products Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting us! We are happy to help.

I just spoke with the Westinghouse customer service (E-mail: customerservice@saihomeproducts.com Telephone: 1-866-365-5339). I described this smell as rather a motor oil-like (this is what it reminds me). They say it's normal for the first cycles :-) It's a glue that holds the parts together and it gets burned initially. The explanation makes sense to me, so I will give it a try. No plans to drink this water, though, until the smell (and the taste) goes away. The idea was to drink pure water, not diluted glue :-)
