A common question we often receive here at DiscountFilters.com is, \u201cDo refrigerator water filters actually work?\u201d The best answer we can give to that question is, \u201cMost definitely!\u201d The only question left hanging is, \u201cHow?\u201d Well, let\u2019s start from the source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local water treatment plants are only legally required to remove a portion of contaminants found in water, leaving behind many particles for us to drink. Lead, rust, chlorine, and sediment are just a few contaminants found in tap water. Refrigerator water filters help remove many of these pollutants the water treatment plants fail to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0conducted by the University of Arizona and Good Housekeeping found\u00a0refrigerator water filters<\/a>\u00a0are one of the most effective ways to remove pollutants. Fridge water filters are even more effective at removing contaminants than pitcher water filters, which many use at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Refrigerator filters for water-dispensing fridges are essential to every home. Not only do these filters remove contaminants from your drinking water, but they also remove any doubt you may have about the quality of water your family is drinking. Nobody should have to worry whether their water is safe to drink. Everyone should feel confident knowing the water in their home is pure and healthy, meaning there\u2019s one less thing to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may be asking, \u201cWhat exactly do the filters do? How do they clean my water?\u201d Well, it\u2019s pretty simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Refrigerator water filters clear contaminants by forcing the water through activated carbon located inside the filters. The carbon acts like a contaminant magnet trapping pollutants and particles\u2014the end product: clean, healthy drinking water for you and your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s it. Yes, it\u2019s really that simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, much like the bags in an old Oreck vacuum, water filters can only remove so many contaminants before needing to be replaced. An overused refrigerator water filter cannot properly remove harmful substances still in the water. Once the carbon inside the fridge filter becomes wholly covered with contaminants, the water passes through the filter untreated, leaving you with polluted water. Water that passes through old, overused filters can even dislodge some of the trapped pollutants back into your drinking water. Yuck! Don\u2019t worry though, keeping your water filter up-to-date will prevent this from happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To sum it all up, YES!<\/strong> Refrigerator water filters work great as long as they\u2019re maintained and replaced regularly. Here\u2019s our advice: Make sure to replace your water filter as often as your appliance owner\u2019s manual specifies, which is usually once every six months. This will ensure your water remains clean, clear, healthy, and tasting great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All of our ClearChoice fridge filters ship free on orders over $50 and come with free returns.
