Reasons to replace the puresource 3 water filter

One of the most commonly used filter media in refrigerator water filters is activated carbon. After activated carbon is treated with oxygen, it will open millions of extremely small, highly absorbent pores, which can capture tiny microorganisms, odors and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the water. After a period of time, the activated carbon filter loses its ability to remove contaminants and becomes clogged with materials. Bacteria multiply in your filter, putting young, old, or other people weakened by disease at risk.

One sign (and the easiest to recognize) that the refrigerator filter needs to be replaced is a change in the taste or smell of water or ice. When it comes to other contaminants, it is more difficult to determine when the filter is no longer operating at a sufficient level. Some refrigerators can easily signal to you through the light that it is time to replace. Some will automatically shut off after a certain amount of water passes through the device.
