How Does it Work?
The 4396510P is backed by a scientifically-tested filtration method commonly used in the best filters on the market. The water filter takes advantage of a special substance called activated carbon. Activated carbon is a specially-engineered form of carbon that is designed mainly for filtration purposes. Its surface is made up of many, many pores, somewhat like a sponge. However, unlike a sponge, liquid passes through the activated carbon and does not soak into it and stay there. However, due to its unique properties, any foreign particles within the water are attracted to the surface. This process is called adsorption.
Therefore, every time you receive water from your fridge dispenser, your unfiltered tap water enters the filter, passes through the activated carbon, and comes out clean on the other side. This simple, but effective process only takes a few seconds.
Filter Replacements
Just as the original OEM filter got too old, this filter does the same. Most filters, including this one, have a six month lifespan. When used continuously, the carbon in the filter eventually degrades, and becomes less effective as a filter. To ensure your home is always supplied with clean water, replace your 4396510P fridge filter at least twice per year.
