Refrigerator Water Filters

Refrigerator water filters are a really great idea. Many of us have water filters on our taps but then go to get ice cubes or water from the refrigerator only to realize those ice cubes were made with polluted water full of chlorine, chemicals and drugs and the drinking water is just as bad. Besides the health risks, this water tends to taste bad and smell awful. Most of the major refrigerator companies have realized the importance of water filters and are including them in their units. Their built in water filters should be replaced every six months.

Refrigerator companies that have built-in water filters:

• Aquasana
• GE
• Frigidaire
• Whirlpool
• Maytag
• Kenmore
• Sears
• Samsung
• LG

Not all refrigerator water filters will remove fluoride however many other contaminants will be filtered. To ensure that your drinking water is safe you want to be sure that the water filter in your refrigerator is a quality multi-stage filter that includes at least one of:

• carbon block resin
• ceramic
• ion exchange filtration

Refrigerator filters do sometimes get overlooked and they are a necessity if you are getting drinking water or ice cubes from the fridge. Polluted water has been linked to many different illnesses and in today’s world, it is just not safe to rely on old tap water. The best thing to do when purchasing a refrigerator is to really enquire about their water filters and the quality of their filtration system. Also a little research online and some comparison shopping will educate you very quickly on which refrigerator filters are the best quality.

Don’t take a chance on your health or the health of your family. Research has proven that our water systems are no longer safe. Make sure your refrigerator has a good working water filtration system.
