Review on 💧 PUREPLUS DA97-17376B Water Filter Replacement for Samsung HAF-QIN/EXP RF23M8070SG/RF23M8090SR/RF23M8570SR/RF23M8590SG, 3 Pack by Ryan Nguyen

Many people don't realize that their Samsung fridge will work without a water filter installed. When the filter is removed, the bypass valve is activated and water flows directly to the water dispenser and ice maker. I have Lake Michigan water and my last refrigerator ran without a filter for almost 20 years. I wouldn't pay $50 for an original Samsung filter and just run my new Samsung without it. I checked and this filter meets NSF/ANSI 372 for lead compliance. My 95 year old house has a lead water line, so for $9 a filter I figured I'd install one and potentially reduce potential lead contamination in the water. The filter fits perfectly and installation was easy. There is no need to turn off the water supply unless the filter is very difficult to rotate. Closing the valve relieves pressure in the line and makes turning easier.
