Maintaining the refrigerator's filter is one way to ensure that you and your family get clean water. Most people know that they should replace the refrigerator's water filter every 6 months (especially if it is used in large quantities), but do you know why?
What refrigerator water filter do I need and what does the filter do?
To find out which filter is right for your refrigerator, please consult your user manual. Then, go to FiltersFast.com and find the
wf3cb filters you need by model/part number and place an order. Your refrigerator water filter can provide you with delicious and clean water for approximately 6 months (depending on usage and water quality) and is a key part of the overall maintenance of the refrigerator.
Reasons to replace the refrigerator filter
One of the most commonly used filter media in
whirlpool 4396841t is activated carbon. After activated carbon is treated with oxygen, it opens millions of tiny, highly absorbent pores that can trap tiny microorganisms, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the water. After a period of time, the activated carbon filter loses its ability to remove contaminants and becomes clogged with materials. Bacteria multiply in your filter, putting young, old, or other people who are weakened by disease at risk.
One sign (and the easiest to recognize) that the refrigerator filter needs to be replaced is a change in the taste or smell of water or ice. When it comes to other contaminants, it is more difficult to determine when the filter is no longer operating at a sufficient level. Some refrigerators can easily signal to you with a light, telling you that it is time to replace. Some will automatically shut off after a certain amount of water passes through the device.
High-priced brand-name filters and compatible filters
The filter replacement indicator is on, and it's time to buy a new filter. There are many options out there, so be sure to be worth the money. Compatible refrigerator filters are as easy to use as their brand-name counterparts! My brand-name refrigerator water filter sold for more than US$40.00 at Sears, and I found a compatible filter for less than US$20.00, which is as easy to use as a brand-name filter. When I can save money, I like it!
