“Can you disconnect the ice water filter system? In the Q&A, it appears that the water filter is a separate purchase, yet the product description says that there's a water filter system as part of the unit. Can anyone verify whether this comes with a water filtration system for the ice maker? If so, then can you also verify whether the filter can be shut off? I have a separate RO system, and a filtered water line would run directly into this unit, so I have no need to use yet another filter, which would no doubt be inferior to my RO system, not to mention would cost me additional money for filter replacement. So I guess I'm asking if you can use the ice maker without the filter system. Thanks!”

It comes with the water filtration system, but you can just hit "ice off", and don't make any ice, and therefore not use the water filtration system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is not a filter nor a place for the filter inside of the fridge. You can feed the filtered water from your RO system directly into the water-in tubing located on the back of the fridge. Easy peasy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you go to the main SamSung website, you will see the replacement filters for your system and just now, (November 2015) they are all on sale. Filter's for any product - car, ac unit, water - all need to be replaced in a timely fashion and this refrigerator is no different. Using the filter system stops bacteria from growing in the lines of your system.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, my fridge has a filter in it. It came with the fridge. No I did not see any way to bypass it "out of the box" and I would be willing to bet if you modify the fridge it would void the warranty.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is no built in filter. If desired, a filter would be installed at the back of the unit in the supply line. You can use it without a filter.
