Frigidaire Refrigerator Filter Replacement Review 2021

Contaminants and impurities in family water supply make the water taste bad and can even bring risks to your families’ health. Using a refrigerator with a filter is a nice solution to reduce those harmful substances and improve the tastes of the water. Frigidaire refrigerator is a popular choice in the market, paired with a carbon-based filter, could provide the whole family with safe, fresh-tasting water every day.

While enjoying the purified water brought by the Frigidaire refrigerator filter, you’d better check if the filter still works from time to time. As once the filter exceeds the service life(usually six months, or check the light indicator and user manual), the water from the filter will be unsafe to drink and can even make you sick. So it is necessary to buy a new filter replacement for your Frigidaire refrigerator when the old one is worn out.

If you search on the internet, you will be confused as there are so many kinds of replacement filters on the market. To ensure you get a better deal, we suggest you take the following factors into consideration.

Price is one of the main factors to be taken into consideration while choosing a refrigerator filter, as it has to be replaced very often, about six months or so. Generally, the filter from the generic brands is less costly than that from the OEM manufacturer because they have lower brand value and are usually sold directly from the factory. But there are also bad products from the generic brands that use unsafe materials to lower the cost, some even don’t fit your refrigerator at all. So please make sure of the materials used, compatibility, filtration efficiency, certification, etc. of the filters from the generic brand before you place the order in case you buy the filters in bad quality.

While looking for the replacement for your refrigerator filter, it is important to find the right model number or water filter part number to get the right replacement part for your refrigerator. Because if you don’t, you may have to resort to trial and error – an option that is not only time-consuming but expensive.

Those numbers usually could be found on the user manual you received with the appliance. And they can also be somewhere on the fridge itself, especially on the door. Or you could follow steps here to find them. Find the right series code, and then see if it fits the filter you are getting.

NSF’s water quality safety testing and certification standards are called the highest standard in the industry and are designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as global drinking water safety and filtration. It is one of the main methods to check if the filter is safe from the third party.

NSF42 and 53 are the most commonly used certification when it comes to refrigerator filters. NSF42 tests the ability of the water filter to remove contaminants that affect the taste, odor, and clarity of the drinking water. The reason for the test is to meet the conditions appropriate for human drinking water. Standard 53 is used to test whether the filter material is safe or not. Like the completeness of the product structure, the accuracy of the product information as well as the efficiency of filtering pollutants such as lead, cysts, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Check the NSF certification of the refrigerator filter could ensure you get the safe filter to a certain degree when you make the choice.

It’s important to understand that not all filters reduce the same kinds of contaminants. Based on the water report or your water testing results, you can decide what contaminants you want to reduce in your home water supply, and then choose the refrigerator filter with different filtration efficiency accordingly. If the water quality is good, an average filter that could reduce chlorine, bad odor and taste will be fine; otherwise, choosing a filter that reduces more contaminants would be ideal.
