This water filter takes care not to remove fluoride which is very beneficial to all of us.

The manufacturer recommends replacing the filter either when the status light turns to red, or every nine months. The only exception to this rule is if the refrigerator has not been in use, unpowered, for over 2 weeks. So if you were moving a long distance, and the travel time of your appliances exceeds two weeks without power. They also say to consider replacing the filter if the water flow drops really low or you feel that the water and ice taste especially bad.

Overall I have been extremely pleased and impressed with the taste of the water and ice from the PureSource2 water filter. When you consider everything that this filter traps and removes from the water, it is a wonder that we haven’t been poisoned by our own tap water yet.

I have found the manufacturer guidelines for replacement, around nine months, to be more of a guideline. This is me personally… I generally gauge replacement time by the water flow. If I seems like I am standing there way too long just to get a glass of water, then I know it is time for a filter change. I do make sure to fill out the date sticker so that I know when to start paying attention and get ready to change it out. Again, this is me just trying to stretch a buck or two. Frigidaire makes a recommendation for a reason, and there is nothing wrong with following their directions.

If you go too long without changing your filter you may notice more odor or taste in your water. And you also might cause the filter to start leaking a bit. Think about it, it is trapping all those impurities. After a while they will build up.

I rarely hear any complaints about this filter. Usually people will complain that after six to nine months the water flow has slowed down to a painful pace. Well, as we talked about earlier, this simply means that the filter has been doing its job and now it is time to replace it.

Also, the manufacturer recommends running water through the filter for about three minutes when first setting it up. This helps to remove the loose carbon in the filter. Occasionally you will find a filter that requires more than three minutes to accomplish this. If this happens to you, don’t worry. You will not experience a problem with the water quality because of this. Sometimes there is a bit more settling in some filters. You will know when the process is complete because the water coming out will be clear, not cloudy.

You simply can not go wrong with the PureSource2 water filter. Nothing beats clean, odor-free, impurity-free water and ice at the touch of a button. For over three years my family and I have enjoyed clean, great tasting water at a price that doesn’t break the bank!
