    One thing to be careful of is that this filter does not clean fluoride.

    ive been using it for about 3 years now and haven't had any problems with it yet. I wish it had a longer life on it I think it lasts for about 3 months. The only thing I dread doing is flitering out 3 gallons of water before we can actually use it. other then that its great.

    Good filter for my Samsung refrigerator. However, doesn't seem to last very long before needing replacement. Even with little usage of the water dispenser.

      Hello AnnTx,

      Thank you for reaching out.We will take note of your feedback as this helps us improve more especially on the quality of the products we offer.
      About the water filter in your Samsung Refrigerator.

      when it’s time to change it, which is about every 6 months. First make sure you purchase a genuine Samsung filter made specifically for your fridge model. You can find replacements on Samsung.com. When you’re ready to replace it, turn off the water line to the fridge, drain the waterline by running the dispenser, and then turn the old filter counterclockwise to pull it out. After you insert the new filter, turn it clockwise to lock it in place, and then turn your water valve back on. All that’s left is to run the water for a few minutes to flush it and reset the replace filter alert on your fridge.

    I have auto ship enabled so I don’t have to worry about ordering. When my shipment came the box was not sealed and the plastic wrap was open. It was obviously returned. I then had to spend my time exchanging it. Very disappointed.

      Hi Mellebelle,

      Thank you for reaching out. We will take note of your feedback as this helps us improve more especially on the quality of the products we offer.
      About the water filter in your Samsung Refrigerator.

      A water filter works to remove some minerals and chemicals from the refrigerator's water. Over time, the filter can become clogged with these particles, leaving it unable to do its job. Consequently, the refrigerator's drinking water and ice may taste or smell bad because the filter was unable to remove any impurities.

      For further concerns, you may reach us via the following option.
