water filters

Using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) refrigerator water filters is essential to ensure proper filtration, prevent costly leaks, and protect your appliance warranty. OEM filters are certified to remove contaminants like lead and chlorine, whereas aftermarket alternatives may use inferior plastics, fail to seal properly, or lack necessary safety certifications.

What to Expect When You Book

Key Reasons to Use OEM Water Filters:


  • Proper Fit and Safety: OEM filters ensure a secure seal within the housing, preventing leaks that can cause water damage and broken filter heads.
  • Contaminant Removal: OEM filters are rigorously tested and certified (often by NSF International) to effectively remove impurities such as chlorine, lead, and pharmaceuticals.
  • Protection for Your Appliance: Generic filters can have lower quality components that might break or fail to filter properly, potentially leading to damaged water systems.
  • Warranty Maintenance: Using third-party filters can sometimes void the refrigerator’s manufacturer warranty.
  • Guaranteed Compatibility: They are designed specifically for your unit, preventing issues where filters may not fit or work with newer, chip-enabled, or RFID-enabled systems.


While OEM filters are generally more expensive, they guarantee the safety, quality, and performance of your water system.
