Since we use the refrigerator water for drinking and in our coffee maker we needed a quality brand. After reading a lot of reviews for quality we purchased a Swift Green water filter. To test the water filtering quality of the Swift Green filter we made a cup of coffee with regular tap water and then with water filtered from the refrigerator. The coffee made from the tap water had a bitter taste while the coffee made with water from the refrigerator had a noticeable smoother taste. When I replaced my water filter it was not necessary to turn the water supply to the refrigerator off. I released the filter cover by pushing the tab on the cover witch lowers the filter on the hinged cover. I then firmly twisted the filter counter clockwise and the filter popped off. Before installation it is necessary to soak the new filter in a pan of water for the recommended length of time. This fills the filter so you won't experience a lot of air purging from the water lines. Once the filter was installed I filled several quarts of water to be sure all the water I will be using has past through the new Swift Green water filter. http://amzn.to/2fDnYSw
