The ADQ36006114 water filter is crucial for maintaining the quality of water dispensed from your refrigerator. It typically features a carbon-based filtration process that reduces various contaminants like lead, chlorine, and particulates that might be present in tap water. This filter should be replaced approximately every six months or after filtering a certain number of gallons, as recommended by the manufacturer, to ensure optimal performance. Common issues that this filter resolves include unpleasant tastes or odors in the water and ice, as well as sediment or particulate matter. When installing a new filter, it is important to flush through a few gallons of water before using the dispensed water to ensure any carbon residue is cleared.
