Refrigerator filters

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial, and the quality of your drinking water plays a significant role in this. Despite water treatment processes, tap water may still contain harmful particles and substances. Your refrigerator's water filter can ensure the purity of your drinking water by removing these impurities.

Refrigerator filters are essential for several reasons:

• They improve taste by removing chlorine.
• They eliminate toxic substances that treatment plants may not fully remove.
• They trap harmful microorganisms and parasites, preventing illnesses like E.coli, salmonella, and diarrhoea.

The main purposes of a fridge water filter are to eliminate chlorine, trap particles like sand and silt, and eliminate bacteria that treatment plants may not fully remove or that water may pick up in the piping system.

Over time, the activated carbon in the filter cartridges absorbs debris and impurities, reducing their effectiveness. Additionally, bacteria can accumulate in the cartridges, posing a health risk. Therefore, it's essential to replace your fridge water filter semiannually or after dispensing 200 - 300 gallons. If your fridge is dispensing water at a slower rate than usual, it's time to change the cartridge.

Replacement cartridges are available in various physical stores and online. To find the right filter for your fridge, identify your fridge's brand and model, then search for a compatible cartridge on websites like Filterway, experts in water filter replacements.
