Product review (5 stars): Refresh M/N: R-9991
We purchased all of our appliances in September, 2007. We started having issues with the ice maker & it would stop allowing water to come out the front about 6 months ago. Although I figured the water was freezing, I looked at my filter sheet in the utility room & noticed we never replaced the filter for our GE Fridge, so 8 years, 5 1/2 months was way over due. I ordered a 3-pack of these filters on Saturday March, 19th, 2016 & received the package on Monday, March, 21st, 2016. Not bad at all. As it says on the instructions, I used tap water to partially fill the filter, let it sit for about 2 minutes, added a bit more tap water, installed the filter & ran about 1 1/2 gallons of water, just to make sure there wouldn't be charcoal particles left in the line. The filter works great. As for the taste, I can't tell the difference between bottled water, or our household water supply.
The Refresh Filter Model Number R-9991 works with our GE Side By Side Refrigerator. This model doesn't have the O-Rings on it. The O-Rings are on the Unit where the Filter fits onto. [They only make the two types, with/without O-Rings]. They need a side shot so you can see how the top looks. I believe I looked at another seller who had the side shot but this seller had the best price, plus Prime, so shipping was free, 2-day shipping. Next, I'll be buying a Brita Water Filter Pitcher, along with the Faucet Mount Water Filter. 1st I'm buying Test Strips to see how bad our Waterford, MI. Well Water is, & how bad the bottled water we've been using is. Back to our Fridge, the water taste's great.
I am going to get test strips because of a video short my daughter sent to me on facebook all about bottled water & the readings that a mom got on 8 different brands. Along with a 1 gallon container with filters in side of it, we can further clean our tap water. Trust me, I was shocked to see what the readings that were on 6 of the major brands sold throughout the US. All in all, our water at least tastes great now. These filters do the job & our ice maker & water dispenser works normal again.
