What is the use of an American fridge filter?


Most American refrigerators provide a connection to your home water system. Allowing you to dispose of fresh water and ice cubes. To ensure pure water of good quality, water filters are to be installed. You will easily find models of the brand of your American refrigerator or universal filters. You will see big price variations from one model to another.

Why install an American fridge filter?

Tap water contains a number of impurities and treatment components that can alter the quality of the water. The taste and smell of chlorine are the most common discomfort.

The water filter helps to fight against these phenomena, but also against the hazy aspect and the microbiological components.

How does the water filter in the American fridge work?

The water filter may be internal to the refrigerator or external, that is, located along the water inlet pipe. Its operation is identical in both cases.

Most refrigerator water filters are made of activated carbon. The anti-limescale fridge is able to hold a large number of chemical components. 

Here is the main list of captured components:

1.       pesticides
2.       herbicides
3.       volatile organic compounds
4.       chlorine
5.       benzene
6.       radon
7.       solvents
8.       heavy metals
Activated carbon means that the service life is limited. Beyond 6 months, coal will lose its effectiveness regardless of the amount of filtered water over the period.
Replace the filter of his American fridge?

Most refrigerators are equipped with a light or an alert warning you of the replacement of the filter.

Some brand of refrigerator have developed models, said "owner", thus imposing the exclusive purchase this type of filter. For most models you can use so-called "universal" filters. Before you buy, we advise you to check the fixing system and the dimensions of your filter in order to find a compatible model.

Most filters can be removed and fixed easily with clip or quarter-turn systems.

The installation is a breeze, here is a simple procedure applicable to 90% of the installations of the market:

Cut the water supply connected to the filter
Remove the old filter, either via the connectors present, or by cutting the pipe at the base of the old one for so-called "online" models
Reconnect the new filter via the connectors or by inserting the water inlet and outlet pipes. However, be careful to follow the direction of the flow of water, often represented by arrows on the filter.
Open the water supply and check that there are no leaks.
On your device, as listed in your refrigerator manual, turn off the filter change alert.

Pour at least 1 liter of water to flush the air and get clear water.
