The main ingredient in almost all water filters is activated carbon, which is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous and thus to have a very large surface area available for absorption of chemicals and impurities.
KitchenAid Refrigerator Water Filters
Based in Greenville, Ohio, KitchenAid is a brand owned by Whirlpool.
KitchenAid is known for their distinct looking Stand Mixers. In 1919, the Hobart Corporation wanted to give consumers a countertop alternative to industrial mixers and so the KitchenAid Stand Mixer was born, according to www.kitchenaid.com. The company has since expanded from manufacturing Stand Mixers to the production of other major and minor kitchen appliances. However, KitchenAid's Stand Mixers continue to be the brand's best known product.
KitchenAid's production of kitchen solutions has come to include the manufacture of refrigerators, as well as accessories like refrigerator water filters. Numerous fridge filters manufactured by Whirlpool, and its sister company Maytag, are compatible with KitchenAid's water filter cartridges. The following water filter cartridges are compatible with KitchenAid refrigerators: Whirlpool models 4396841, 4396710, 4396508, 4396510, 4396701, 8171413 and W10295370. Depending on the model, the refrigerator units might also be compatible with the Maytag PuriClean II UKF8001 Refrigerator Water Filter model.
To ensure the safety of your drinking water, you need to replace your refrigerator water filter every six months or when the indicator in the refrigerator turns on.
