Filter Lifespan & Replacement Recommendations:
Most refrigerator filters are designed to last about six months, but this can vary based on usage, water quality, and the specific model. If you have a larger household or frequently use filtered water and ice, you may need to replace the filter sooner. Checking your refrigerator’s manual or the filter’s packaging can give you a good benchmark for replacement.
Signs Your Filter Needs Replacing:
Sometimes, it’s obvious when a filter is due for replacement. If you notice a slowdown in water flow or an unpleasant taste, these are often clear indicators that your filter has become clogged with contaminants. Other signs include unusual odors, cloudy ice, or an indicator light (if your fridge has one) alerting you to replace the filter.
Conclusion:
Replacing your water filter every six months is a good rule of thumb, but if you notice any of the signs mentioned above, don’t wait. A fresh filter means clean, refreshing water and peace of mind. Check out our range of replacement filters to find one for your model today.
