Do you think spending money on replacement fridge filters is a rip-off? This article should make you think again.
If you have a refrigerator from Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, or Jenn-Air with a built-in water cooling system changing the filters guarantees you get the benefits the whole time.
A quality fridge may not be the most expensive appliance in your kitchen, but it is still quite an expensive piece of kit so should not be kept in top working order.
Think of the advantage: having fresh chilled water is so much better than warm water from the tap at any time of year.
It's great to mix with your favorite drinks, or give to the children instead of fizzy drinks that damage their teeth.
Filtered water tastes good, and is healthier as well.
I've checked out what people say about getting filtered water from their refrigerator.
Here are the main points:

1. Cost saving: "I don't bother with expensive bottled water any more, even for special occasions.
   For about 20 cents a day I save money for the whole year.
   "
2. Clarity: "Even if I leave filtered water bottled for more than 24 hours before drinking, it stays crystal clear.
   I could not get the same from my local tap water.
   "
3. Purity: "I can be sure my filtered water doesn't contain asbestos, particulates, lead, or mercury, and I don't have to risk the public supply having the chlorine taste and odor of a swimming pool!"

So how do you get these benefits without paying too much? There are several stores that stock accessories for Whirlpool and other leading makes, and if you look around you will probably find some that run discounts or coupons, while others have low prices all the time.
A few suppliers offer free shipping, and if you need to change the filters some will give refunds on unopened packs.
If you are in any doubt, make sure what you buy is compatible with your refrigerator.
