For this post, I have put together a collection of the best refrigerator water filters currently available.

UPDATED: February 10, 2021.

Refrigerator water dispensers offer a filtered water alternative to getting it straight from the kitchen sink faucet.

These filters help to reduce the presence of unwanted elements or taste in your water such as:

Chlorine Taste and Odor

Chlorine is widely used in water treatment as disinfectants but may add a particular odor and taste to the water.

Heavy Metals and Others

Lead can infiltrate water sources, in addition to potential pharmaceuticals, waterborne parasites, and pesticides.

Check the specifics for each manufacturer but most filter models should be replaced every six months or 300 gallons, whichever comes first.
