Product review (5 stars): Electrolux EWF2CBPA PureAdvantage Refrigerator Water Filter
The Electrolux EWF2CBPA Pure Advantage Refrigerator Water Filter was a breeze to order on Amazon and it showed up on time as promised.

Once the filter was recieved my 14 year old son then installed it when it came in using the refrigerators water filter installation instructions. Be sure to follow the WATER FILTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR MODEL OF REFRIDGERATOR! I have found instructions for refrigerators online prior to installing any water filters (I have 4 refrigerators I maintain).

In my experience "as a minimum" you should ALWAYS be sure to turn off the refrigerators built in automatic ice maker before removing the water filter, then I run several glasses of water through the refrigerators water dispenser. I do this using a large sized clean/clear water glass, and then run the water from the refrigerator dispenser until the water in the glass is coming out of the refrigerator dispenser clean and clear. Beware after several glasses filled with water that sometimes the water may look a little cloudy from air bubbles coming out of the refrigerator water dispenser, if this occurs let the filled water glass stand for a minute or so and in my experience it has always cleared up. I typically run no more than one gallon of water through the filter after it has been changed.

Note: I have always witnessed the second and third glasses of water the dirtiest out of my refrigerators water dispenser after changing the water filter. The black color is the Carbon Particulate off the filter (THIS IS NORMAL). Also note that if you forget to turn off the ice maker and do not dispense water correctly, what may happen is the automatic icemaker can cycle (make ice) and the blackish colored filter residue (Carbon particulate) will end up in your refrigerators ice dispenser. If this occurs you shouldn't panic, run a few glasses of water from the refrigerator water dispenser to be sure the water is clear/clean. I would personally then dump out the ice for a couple of days or longer, just until the ice comes out clear/clean again (no blackish colored carbon residue from the filter).

If you have any questions of why Carbon is used in a water filter I found this on Wikipedia at the following web address
