   I live in California where over the past few years we have been in a drought. I used to change my filter fairly regularly, but like a lot of people, I kind of neglected it for a couple of years. The water quality in my area is typically much better than other areas in Southern California because I live next to the mountains and a fair distance away from the coast. But gradually I noticed the water quality get worse and worse as my filter got older and older, and the local aquifers got lower and lower. So, when I finally replaced the filter with one of these Pureplus filters, the first thing I noticed was the brown cruddy water that came dripping out of the filter boss when I disconnected the old filter. Clearly, I had waited much too long to change my filter.

   The old filter was full of muck and whatever comes down the pipes from the water department, and I suspect it hadn’t been filtering much for some time. I also assume that there is some way for water to bypass the filter if it becomes totally clogged, kind of like the oil filter in your car. Even though the filter was full, the fridge never stopped making ice. Anyway, when I changed to a new filter it took a while for the crud that had been building up in the lines between the filter and the faucet to be flushed out. At first, I got some rather brown and rusty looking water, but after a gallon or two it cleared up completely. Good as new (well, almost).

   I think that when the refrigerator manual says change the filter every 6 months or it could cause damage, it is talking about this gunk that can build up in the lines when you don’t change it regularly. Some of the bad experiences people have had with this filter might be related to the fact that they don’t change their filter often enough. I did not experience any installation issues – the arrow marked on the filter lined up nicely with the arrow on the refrigerator and the fit was snug but not too tight. No leaks or anything like that. The first one works great, and if the other two work as well, I will definitely buy these filters again.

   I’ve had trouble with finding well fitting filters in the past. Although supplies report their products are compatible, it simply was not the case. These fit with ease! Arrived quickly. Compatible with the maker/model fridge, just as promised.

   Our local tap water has a strong chlorine taste & smell. These do a great job, making the water and ice from our fridge taste fine.
