- They are called reverse osmosis (RO) systems, not osmosis systems.
- They don't remove only the 'un-needed stuff' in the water; they remove everything. This can make for acidic, 'dead' water that doesn't taste great, and may not read on some auto fill coffeemakers and similar appliances. Many people end up adding a re-mineralizing 'filter' to their RO system to get the removed minerals back.
- RO systems are typically much more expensive than $50. A cheap 5-6 stage RO system is probably going to run at least ~$130 on the low side, nearly 3x more than this deal. On top of being more expensive, you also have to deal with the larger footprint (due to more filters and a storage tank), supply pressure constraints, and waste water.
I'm not at all trying to disparage RO systems (I have installed systems at my house, as well as my parents'), but comparing it to a single in-line filter isn't exactly apples-apples.http://linxdrinkingwat
Although I have a bypass filter, I still get the "change filter" notifications. I simply ignore and reset the filter indicator of the fridge.
My whole point is that if you have an internal filter on the fridge, and want to install an external filter, I recommend getting the bypass filter for your fridge. This is simply a part that replaces the filter, so that you don't have paper/filter media inside your fridge.
Here is an example of a 3rd party bypass cap for some models of Samsung refrigerators.

Something else.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, I'd stick to a generic system that can accept standard 10" filters so you know that you won't have to buy a whole new system when the time comes to change filters.
