Filtration Process
The WSL-3 fridge filter is scientifically engineered to use activated carbon for removing impurities from your home’s water supply. Activated carbon is processed to increase the amount of porous surface to allow any unwanted particles to be captured in the carbon as a filter. The water enters your refrigerator through the rear and travels into the rear of the filter. As the water moves through the filter, it is cleansed of lead, asbestos, bacteria, mold cysts and chlorine. The particulates of these substances adhere to the carbon and the clean water flows out of the water filter, through the water lines to both your water dispenser and your icemaker. The result is crystal-clear water that tastes great for your family.

When to Change Your Discount Fridge Filters
Water filters containing activated carbon as a filtration device last approximately 6 months with normal water usage in a household. After that time, the carbons begins a deterioration process and it does not adequately clean your water. You can write the date on a calendar to remind you in six months to change your water filter or if you have a sensor in your refrigerator, it will remind you. Sensors are color-coded. A green light means that your filter is working at full capacity. A yellow light means that you should order another filter, because the filter is starting to breakdown. A red light signifies that you need to change your filter immediately, because it is no longer filtering your water.
