Question: Do I need to have a filter to have the ice maker work. I already have a whole house filter, and this seems like a lot of extra money to spend, Thanks
Document: Great tasting water and ice for a great price. Also like that I found a 2-pack so I can have an extra on hand.
I can't deny that my water (well) needs a filter for ice and a drink but the price seems high (everywhere!) to buy them..
I've used this type of filter for several years but I'm considering discontinuing because my whole house is filtered. It is easy to replace and lasts about six months. I find it to be pricey if indeed it isn't required with whole house filtratio
It seems like later refrigerator models use a more expensive type water filter replacement than older models. And because the water connections are different you cannot substitute  the older, cheaper type for the newer type. These sell for 50 to 60 dollars in the store.I bought these for my Dad. They fit just fine and work just like the older ones that cost nearly twice as much. Dad says they give good tasting water and the water water pressure is good coming out.
I purchased a refrigerator water filter through this company. After changing it out, my water still tasted terrible. The water tasted like I had never changed the filter. I tried to give it enough time to start working correctly before I contacted the seller for a refund. Apparently, they have a 7 day return policy and I had waited 11. They were not willing to refund my money and make it right. Now I am stuck with a faulty water filter and will have to purchase another one.
Worked great. Fit right in and is perfect. Now we have clean water in our fridge and ice maker for the family.
When I open the box I thought I had ordered the wrong part, but it turns out the material used to make it was changed. I need the part for the fridge but I would prefer the other plastic which seemed like a harder plastic.
I needed a new filter and thought why not buy it on Amazon. I found the filters I needed for my fridge, figured it might be more cost effective to buy 2 and WAMMO! They came to the house quickly and now I can be rest assured that my water is clean :)
I just received these and these appear to be the bad ones that others have mentioned. I installed one, flushed it per the instructions, and sure enough after 24 hours when you dispense water it smells like bad plastic. Also, these are purple and opaque and not the translucent blue one that came with my fridge, and also have the word &#34;disposable&#34; misspelled on the filter unit.
I have already contacted Amazon. These appear to be counterfeit. &#34;Disposable&#34; is misspelled on the label below PUR, the filter is made with opaque plastic (unlike the genuine item) and the filters are less than half the weight of a genuine filter.
Answer: You do not need the filters to get ice or cold water. Just reset the filter and reuse it. However Amazon is so low in cost get the 2filters at less than half of the company charge. I even got free shipping..GO AMAZON!!!!!
