What are your options?
In most cases, there are two options that you will have available to you. You can choose to get an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement filter. This means that the filter is manufactured by the original maker of the refrigerator, for example, Whirlpool or Frigidaire.
The other option is to get an aftermarket filter for your refrigerator. These filters are designed to fit your refrigerator but were not made by the original manufacturer. When buying an aftermarket filter, make sure that the filter has all the necessary ANSI/NSF accreditations so that you can be sure you’re getting a quality product.

Why should you change your refrigerator filter?
Changing your refrigerator filter often is important. In fact, it’s recommended that you change your filter every 6 months. You might wonder though, why should you change your refrigerator filter? What benefits or detriments could it possibly bring?
The most conventional filter media used in refrigerator water filters is activated carbon. When this carbon is exposed to oxygen it opens highly permeable rivets that ensnare pathogens, odors, and microorganisms in the water. Eventually, the carbon begins to lose its effectiveness in removing pollutants and the result will be a clogged filter.
This consequence is dangerous as it can create an environment that is a haven for bacteria. Drinking this can be detrimental to anybody who consumes the water. A fresh refrigerator filter will give you clean drinking water and reduce the risk of infection from germs.
To maintain optimal refrigeration operation, it’s important to change your refrigerator water filter regularly. Although it may seem confusing at first, once you’re familiar with the steps it is relatively easy. FiltersFast.com can be a bastion of help.
