Time to Change Your Filter?
To get the cleanest, safest drinking water from your refrigerator, it's important to make sure that you change your water filter regularly. If the taste or odor of your dispensed refrigerator water has changed recently, you may be due for a new filter. Likewise, many refrigerators will notify you when you are due for a filter change.
Lowe's carries water filters for many brands of refrigerators, so you should be able to find and install the filter that fits. Our Water Filter Buying Guide can walk you through the different types of water filters you may need in your home, how they work and why they're helpful. Take care of yourself and those you love by staying on top of this simple refrigerator maintenance task.
Contaminants That Refrigerator Water Filters Remove
Tap water may contain a number of pollutants, microbes and contaminants that you'll want to have filtered out before consuming it. You can select a water filter that is designed for removing things like asbestos, lead, mercury, particulates, benzene and more. Knowing what contaminants are being filtered out can give you and your family peace of mind when drinking water at home. You can also feel less concerned about pollutants infiltrating the water when you have an up-to-date filter system installed.
Another benefit of having water run through a filter is that it can have other uses at home. You can fill your coffee maker with filtered water, serve your pets filtered water and mix concentrated drinks with the purified water from your fridge.
Refrigerator Water Filter Features
When choosing a water filter for your refrigerator, consider looking through some of the options available. Most water filters are designed to last about six months, but a number of water filters offer a longer working life. There are refrigerator water filter options that can last 12, 16, or 20 months before they need to be changed out.
Water filter designs also vary — some refrigerator water filters feature a twist-in design while others are in-line or push-in filters. The package should contain instructions, but water filter installation is generally not too complicated.
