Brita Refrigerator Replacement Filters for GE Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I decided to replace the original filter on my GE refrigerator after about 10 months when the "change filter" light came on. I went to the local hardware store and found a replacement for $49 plus tax. It seemed expensive, so I decided to check Amazon instead and found these along with the OEM GE filters.
I was reluctant to try a filter other than the GE just to save a few bucks, but if they are identical, why waste money? Besides, Brita is probably better known than GE for filters. Anyway, the filter looks, fits and works just like the original. I have noticed no difference in water flow or noise. The water tastes clean and looks clear.
One note - as per the instructions you should pre-fill the filter at the tap before installation and then run about 10 glasses of water through the new filter before use to stabilize the flow.
As for the vendor - Fridge Filters, I found that you cannot track their packages online as you can with most things purchased from Amazon, but the filter arrived in Florida 4 days after my order was placed. I gave the product and the vendor 5 stars, not that I get particularly excited about a water filter, but there were no negatives to take a star away.

Whirlpool 8171413 KitchenAid Side-by-Side Refrigerator, Internal Non-Cyst Water Filter, 1-Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sorry folks, but I don't know if I got a lemon or what, but after following instructions on how to install the filter,etc, the end result was water tasting like plastic. The only way i can assume this happened is that the filter sat in the warehouse in the dog days of summer long before it came into the consumers hands. Too bad because it installed and was fine otherwise, but the taste cannot be ignored. Amazon had the best price for this but if I were you, I would probably buy locally if you can. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot in terms of knowing if you will get one that is free from plastic taste or not.

Aqua-Pure AP217 Replacement Cartridge for Drinking Water System Filters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are many filtration systems that fit under your sink. I chose the Aqua-Pure system years ago because it is compact and took care of the rather modest drinking water problems in this area, mostly just the chlorine taste. My filter is hooked up to a separate water faucet that is used only for drinking, coffee and cooking water.
The Aqua-Pure does a good job for me. The water tastes just fine, no chlorine taste or smell, no noticeable impurities. Changing it every six months is best in this area. If I wait a year, the water flow is too slow and the the water tastes so much better after the replacement, indicating that I was being too cheap and should have replaced it earlier.
Changing it isn't too bad. Bear in mind that both the outer case and the filter cartridge itself have to be screwed in. Both are plastic and so the "feel" is sticky and vague and tightening is not intuitive. Be careful, especially with the cartridge as that little nipple is not exactly robust.
So, this system works, is hidden and handy. Are the cartridges worth $25 bucks a shot, at least $50 a year? I would say that if your water is not too horrible and two changes a year are ok, then the price is high, but relatively affordable. If your water is worse, then I think you would be better off with something like a reverse osmosis system. If the water in your area is truly horrible, then you need a special industrial system. Even if the price of filters is ok with you, the Aqua-Pure is for low-flow use at a tap only.
And, as with any dedicated water filter, adding a separate faucet can be difficult or look odd. I got a sink with enough openings to make adding a faucet easy enough and it integrates nicely.
At some point, order the gasket for the housing. Good to have on hand just in case. Mine has lasted years, but you never know...
Three stars because the product works as advertised. Lost two stars for higher than necessary cost and somewhat chancy tightening with plastic to plastic threads.

Whirlpool 4396841 PUR Side-by-Side Refrigerator, Push Button Fast Fill Water Filter, 1-Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased a new Whirlpool refrigerator earlier this year. The new refrigerator has all the marvelous improvements developed in the last ten years for refrigerators, including a water filter.
The water filter really does deliver better water. However, the water filter seems quite expensive to me. Whirlpool, and other manufacturer's that use this type of filter, recommend the filter be replaced twice a year, whether you need to replace the filter or not.
The filter is relatively easy to replace, but be aware of what happens when you pull the filter. To remove the old filter you push a button next to the filter, typically to the left of the filter. Then pull on the cap covering the filter and pull the filter out. Make a note of how the filter was oriented when you pull it out.
The filter will now begin dripping water, so have a paper towel or small bowl available to let the water drip into. You can either let the filter finish dripping into a sink, or throw it into a plastic bag that you can seal to keep the water from dripping out of the bag. Be sure you remove the cover from the filter before you toss it. On our Whirlpool the cover twists counterclockwise for removal.
Install the filter cover onto the new filter. It takes just a twist to lock it into place. Holding the filter so that the two straight pieces on the end of the filter are vertical, with the open portion of the filter cover oriented on the bottom, slide the new filter straight into the filter cavity until the button on the left clicks to let you know the new filter is locked into place. Note that these instructions are for a Whirlpool, but I believe most other refrigerators are similar. You should be ready to go!
Had I known refrigerator water filters were so expensive I might have gone with a refrigerator without one, though our local water has a lot of chlorine in it (which is filtered out by the filter).
As with many modern conveniences, this water filter represents a convenience that you did not know you needed until you had it. Now that I have it, I am wondering whether I want it since I have to spend a chunk of change each year in filter replacements. Oh well. I guess I can sleep more soundly knowing that the water filter is now removing a bunch of stuff from my water that my body either did not want or need.
Good luck!
