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.
Fresh water makes everything taste better. From tea to lemonade or a simple, tall glass of clean, clear iced water, your refrigerator water filter can make the difference in your drinks' taste and even smell. Both the Amana Clean ‘n Clear Water filter and the WaterSentinel WSA-1 refrigerator water filter offer clean and tasty water and ice cubes. Either can fit Amana and Kenmore refrigerators as well as others. They can be purchased in convenient three-packs.
Your household water may contain various impurities including chlorine, lead and particles. A fridge filter can help remove many of these impurities. The Amana Clean ‘n Clear Water filter and the WaterSentinel WSA-1 both pass NSF International standard testing for the reduction of chlorine in the drinking water. The Amana is also tested against the NSF International standard for the reduction of turbidity, lead and other chemicals.
Both the U.S.A.-made WaterSentinel and the Amana are efficient to use and easy to install. Each has a water flow rate of 0.5 gallons per minute and will clean about 300 gallons of water, lasting approximately six months.
