ge profile water filter
When it comes to having fresh, clean, good tasting ice and water from your refrigerator it makes no difference whether your appliance uses the GE profile water filter, the Kenmore water filter, or any of the other type of appliance with an integrated water filter the water filter must be periodically changed.
If the GE profile water filter or any other type of water filter is not changed regularly it can cause the filter to fail. Though the newest type of advanced appliance water filters remove4 as much as ninety nine percent of most contaminants when the filer becomes too old its efficiency will decrease and contaminant levels in the ice and water dispensed will begin to rise.
The manufacturer’s suggested maintenance schedule gives the best advice on how to maintain your appliance, but the general rule of the thumb is that the filter should be changed at least every six months in order to maintain peak efficiency.
Most contaminants found in normal tap water are well below dangerous levels, however, many contaminants can become dangerous if the levels build up in the body over time. Some contaminants, like iron, while not dangerous can change the taste of the water enough to be easily noticed.
GE profile water filters, and most other newer water filters, filter out particles as small as .5 microns, this delivers only pure, clean, sediment free water on the outflow side of the filter, regardless of what is entering on the inflow side. This means that as long as the filters are replaced and maintained every six months you will only have the best water from your icemaker and water dispenser.
So, for the best quality water and ice be sure to replace your GE profile water filter at least every six months with a good quality replacement filter cartridge.
