In-Line Water Filter

This OEM filter measures 2.1-Inches by 2.2-inches by 12.7-Inches. It is used to reduce bad tasting water, while also lessening dirt, rust, and other sediments. It is recommended to replace this filter every six months or 2500 gallons. If performance of the filter has changed, it may need to be replaced sooner, depending on the water conditions. It is sold individually. This filter is compatible with refrigerators that do not have built-in filtration. It is used in side-by-side and top-freezer refrigerators. The filter has a new design with quick connect fittings at the end of the filter so it can be easily installed behind your refrigerator. This filter only works with plastic lines. The only tool you may need for this repair is something to cut your tubing with. To install, first turn off the water supply. The filter can now be inserted into the 1/4-Inch OD supply tube that carries water to the appliance. Now cut the tubing in a straight line (if installing for the first time, if this is a replacement you can skip this step). Push the tubing into the filter inlet until it is flush with the fitting collar. Place the filter outlet over a bucket and flush it out by turning on the water supply valve and allowing it to flow for about five minutes. Now connect the outlet of the filter to the water line going to the appliance. Turn on the water supply.
