Appliance tip of the week...

In-Line filters: Many newer refrigerators with ice and water dispensers have built in replaceable water filters. After 6 months to a year, these filters will become full of chemicals that they have remove from the water and are becoming plugged up. This will dramatically slow down and drop the water pressure to the water dispenser and icemaker = smaller ice cubes, very slow chilled water.

The life of refrigerator water filters is dependent upon the volume of contaminants in the water as well as the amount of use of the filter. Well water is more likely to contain contaminants not found in publicly treated water and may need more frequent filter changes. As a rule of thumb, the filter should be changed as specified by the manufacturer or at least every six months.
