Whirlpool offers a full selection of refrigerator water filters<\/a> under the EveryDrop product line. Made to fit Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana and Jennair appliances, these components focus on removing potentially harmful impurities, such as lead, prescription medications, pesticides and more, from your water. This gives you peace of mind that your water and ice are as clean and pure as possible, just one more way to keep your family healthier. It\u2019s easier to encourage your family to drink more water and avoid sugary drinks when the water tastes crisp and fresh with no metallic or chemical flavors or smells.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you get your water from a local treatment plant, you should be aware that lead, chemicals and other particles are only subject to regulation down to a specific percentage. You\u2019d probably prefer cleaner water than that for your family and yourself. Multiple studies conducted by universities and independent laboratories have found that refrigerator water filters do a better job than filter pitchers and faucet attachments when it comes to removing impurities from tap water. Consumers report that, based on taste alone, they can taste a big difference between the water that comes straight from the tap and the water that comes through a refrigerator filter. Smell and color are also affected by filtering. But exactly how does a refrigerator filter work?<\/p>\n

A Whirlpool water filter for your refrigerator uses a system of three internal filters (Triple Filtration technology) made with activated carbon. Each level of the system uses either a physical barrier or a chemical barrier against impurities in the water. Chemical filters are able to block the smallest of particles, those that can\u2019t be blocked by a physical filter.<\/p>\n

Similar to the way a magnet attracts bits of metal, the carbon draws in impurities and holds on to them. Your drinking water continues on through the system in a much cleaner state. When you freeze that cleaner water, or it processes through your ice maker, you get cleaner ice. As a result, you find improved flavors when you cook with the filtered water or use it to mix up your favorite beverages.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to keep a clean filter in your refrigerator<\/a>. Just like the filter in your vacuum cleaner, once the carbon is full of particles, it can\u2019t hold any more. Uncaptured impurities will travel on into your water instead of staying in the filter, and some of the impurities trapped in the carbon can break loose as well. This may lead some consumers to think something is wrong with the filter or the water system itself.<\/p>\n

Because of the microscopic nature of some of the particles, it\u2019s difficult to tell with a visual inspection whether a filter is full. The best plan is to replace the filter as often as recommended on the package. As is typical of most filters on the market, EveryDrop filters last about six months before you need to replace them.<\/p>\n

Specifications<\/strong><\/h2>\n

EveryDrop filters are certified by NSF International to remove 99 percent of lead (among 66 other contaminants) from the water that travels through your refrigerator. This mark tells you that the product meets all current quality standards after independent testing. NSF reminds consumers of the importance of changing filters to get the maximum performance.<\/p>\n

When you go shopping for a filter, you\u2019ll likely find multiple options for your refrigerator. Model and part numbers can be confusing, so it\u2019s helpful when manufacturers make it easy for you to locate what you need. EveryDrop filters can be used with most newer model refrigerators and even those up to 15 years old. A color and a number mark each EveryDrop filter, so you can easily identify which one fits your appliance.<\/p>\n

Triple Filtration Technology uses three layers to give you the maximum defense against impurities. The first layer captures the largest particles, removing them before the water passes on to the next stage. The second layer collects medium-sized contaminants, further purifying the liquid. The third and final layer uses absorption technology to soak up microscopic impurities that escape the first two barriers. With these three categories of invaders removed, you can feel confident that\u2019s what is left is as clean as you can get.<\/p>\n
