In built fridge water filter or free standing water filter

I have an in built water filtration system in our fridge - its a new GE fridge so hopefully it works to 100% of what its supposed to do. For some reason I am not completely convinced that it takes away the impurities and wonder would I be better to buy a brita or a pur or something. Its something I have seen just my own feeling.

Any feedback?

thanks

I believe the built-in refridgerator water filters you are referring to work the same exact way a brita or pur pitcher filter would work.

They have a filter that you replace just the way you would in the pitcher or faucit attachment so I don't see why it wouldn't work in your new GE model.

My sister has one and it works perfectly fine, though hers is an LG.

Well.... there really are no impurities, but if you are concerned, the one in the refrigerator will work well.

Thanks ladies...i guess i am just a nut ..i was pregnant when we were buying our appliances and really didnt care less...just went with what the salesman recommended...bought the GE profile...Dh plugged it in....DD arrived 18mths ago and only now am I coming out of the fog and wondering does this filter thing work or do i need something else?

I guess you have answered my q's.

I was thinking the same thing recently..our fridge was brand new when we moved in and that was 3 yrs ago - I never changed the filter Where would I even get a replacement??

If you do a search online for water filter replacement you should find something. I ordered mine online but cannot find it now...a light comes on the front of our fridge when its time to change the filter.

We just got the LG fridge with the water filter built in the door, we still have a brita pitcher which i got for our bridal shower in september.
