Brita® Refrigerator FAQ
Why choose Brita refrigerator filters?
More consumers use Brita than any other water filtration in the world. Plus Brita’s advanced filtration technology turns ordinary water into great-tasting Brita water. Brita is the only refrigerator filter guaranteed to improve the taste of your water. Your satisfaction is backed by our 30-day money back guarantee.
Will Brita filters fit my refrigerator?
Yes. Brita refrigerator filters are designed to fit select Whirlpool, KitchenAid, GE, Frigidaire, Kenmore, Maytag and Jenn-Air models. Brita refrigerator filters have been tested under the same operating specifications as refrigerator manufacturer filters.
How do Brita refrigerator filters work?
Water in the refrigerator is forced through a specially formulated carbon block that uses physical adsorption to reduce chlorine (taste and odor) and mechanical filtration to reduce sediment for clear, great-tasting Brita water1.
What impurities do these filters remove?
Brita filters reduce chlorine (taste and odor) and sediment1. State regulations prohibit us from making health contaminant reduction claims since Brita doesn’t manufacture the original refrigerators.
Will these filters work with the filter change indicator light on my refrigerator?
Yes. Brita filters are designed to work with refrigerators that have a filter change indicator light.
How long to Brita filters last?
Brita filters last about the same length of time as the refrigerator manufacturer filters. We recommend you change the filter when the refrigerator filter change indicator light goes on, or approximately every 6 months.
How are Brita filters installed?
You just have to follow the simple steps on the package and refer to the refrigerator’s manual for more detailed instructions. No tools or special equipment is required.
