How frequently should I change my water filter?

For clean, fresh tasting water, Whirlpool recommends replacing your water filter every 6 months. It may need to be changed more frequently depending on your usage and water quality.

Do I need to flush the water line? 

Yes, it is recommended to flush the water system after replacing the filter. This removes air from the system and helps to prevent the dispenser from dripping. 

  • Using a cup, press and hold the dispenser for 5 seconds, and then release for 5 seconds.
  • Repeat until water flows, and then continue for an additional 2 minutes.
  • If your dispenser drips, do this again to flush air that enters the system from the water supply.
Do water filters expire?

Water filters do not have an expiration date. Feel free to store multiple replacement filters in your home for cost savings and easy replacement.

How are EveryDrop water filters tested? 

While no federal regulations exist for residential water treatment filters, purifiers, and reverse osmosis systems, voluntary national standards and National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) protocols have been developed that establish minimum requirements for the safety and performance of these products to treat drinking water. 

EveryDrop water filters are tested according to NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, 401, and CSA 483.1 for reducing the substances listed on the performance data sheets. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, 401, and CSA 483.

What does PID stand for?

PID stands for "Performance Indicator Device," or basically the water filter indicator light found on the refrigerator. This indicator is used by the NSF to test the life of the water filter.  Refrigerators with a PID will receive a notification (filter light will illuminate) once the customer has used 200 gallons of water.  Refrigerators without a PID will be alerted at 100 gallons.
