Find whole home, faucet and refrigerator water filters at Ace from brands like PUR, Culligan and Watts.

Why are Water Filters Important?

The ideal water filter should not only minimize the number of contaminants present in your water source but also deliver great-tasting water. Whether you’re using whole house, fridge or faucet water filters, they are designed to remove impurities, contaminants, and particles from your water for a better drinking experience with higher quality water.

Although not all water filters filter everything, look for water filters that can remove or reduce the following.

  • Water filters for biological contaminants like viruses, bacteria or parasites
  • Water filters for chemical contaminants like pesticides, bleach, nitrogen or pharmaceuticals
  • Water filters for physical contaminants like microplastic particles, sediments or organic debris
  • Water filters for radiological contaminants like isotopes of radon, uranium and radium

Different Types of Home Water Filters

Whether for home, fridge or faucet filtration, water filters typically use treatment devices like carbon-activated filters, ion exchange units, reverse osmosis units or distillation units. They all work slightly differently and have their advantages and limitations.

The different types of water filters correspond with the various applications they will be used in. It is common for a single household to utilize multiple water filters.

  • Faucet water filters: Although they may not work with every type of kitchen faucet, faucet filters usually attach straight onto any compatible unit. They can also easily switch between filtered and unfiltered water as need dictates. Replace every 2 to 3 months.
  • Under-sink water filter: Typically coming with a faucet unit, these relatively expensive water filters are hidden under a sink and have high filtering capacity. They last about 6 months before needing to be replaced.
  • Whole house water filters: Treating all water entering your home, whole house water filters can help manage hard water and increase the life span of many large home appliances. House filters should be replaced every 3 to 6 months.
  • Water filter pitchers: Relatively inexpensive and easy to use, water filter pitchers may need regular filter replacement.
  • Refrigerator filters: Usually built into the fridge unit, they make accessing clean, filtered water and ice very convenient.

Using Refrigerator Water Filter Replacements

Of all your water filters, you may get the most use of your refrigerator filters. In most cases, you should aim to have a replacement filter cartridge on hand every six months. One sign that it could be time to replace your refrigerator water filter is a change in the taste or odor of your water or ice.

Most refrigerators with water dispensers are equipped with a change filter light that's usually set to a timer. While this light can serve as a good reminder to invest in a drinking water filter replacement, keep in mind that you might need to replace the filter sooner if you frequently use the water dispenser. For example, a family of six may need to replace the fridge filter more frequently than a family of two.

How Are Water Filters Rated?

The performance of a water filter is measured in microns. Generally speaking, the lower the micron rating, the more capable the filter will be at capturing smaller impurities. However, this may also reduce the flow rate.
