Replace Your Fridge Filter Already, its Been 6 Months!
Now you might be thinking, "what happens if I don't change it regularly?" Well there are a couple of things can happen if you wait too long to change your filter.
- One of the first things you would notice is the water pressure will slow down considerably. This is because the more solids and pollutants your filter captures, the harder it will be for water to pass through it.
- Another symptom of a worn out filter you might notice is cloudy water and ice, as well as a change in taste and smell. As the filter becomes overly full it becomes less effective at filtering and can start leaking higher percentages of pollutants and dissolved solids back into your water supply. The dissolved solids will cause the water to have a cloudy appearance. Where as different types of pollutants can cause the taste and smell to change.
The biggest reason to change your fridge filters every six months is for your own personal health and safety. Many of the pollutants your filter catches are perfectly fine to consume in small doses. However, when you wait too long to change your filter and it becomes overly full. It can begin to leak all the pollutants its caught over the months into your water at much higher percentages. A few of the pollutants that could be leaked back into your water supply are Arsenic, Asbestos, Chlorine, Lead, and Pesticides. Drinking high percentages of these pollutants can cause a variety of different health issues. That is why it is so important to change your Fridge filters regularly every six months.
