Why you should replace your water filter
Changing out your water filter can keep small weird chunks out of your ice and will make your water and ice more clear. The water filter stops you from drinking some of the hard water, mineral buildup, or other chemicals that could be harmful. The filter can also protect you and your family from drinking some of the bad bacteria and microscopic organisms that can make people get sick. Some people even say that they can taste and/ or smell the water when there is a buildup of minerals in the water.
When and how to replace your water filter
Most refrigerators now a days will have a light or some type of alarm that goes off to notify you when you should change it to get fresh water. If your refrigerator does not have this capability, the rule of thumb is to change it out every 6- 12 months.
The location of the water filer can be in different locations depending on the brand and model of your refrigerator. Please see your manual to find the location. Once you find it, open pop the lid and twist the filter with a half turn and it will pop right off. After you change it, make sure to run your water 2-3 gallons to get rid of the air bubbles and get all of the sediments out. Let your ice machine make one cycle of ice and trough it out. You should be all set after this!
