In reply to Jack Buck. We would always air on the side of the manufacturers recommendation just for your own piece of mind. This way you know 100% the filter is being updated without wondering if the retirement home is updating theirs. You could always reach out to the company who makes your fridge and ask their recommendation as well. Our take is always better be safe than sorry though.

It appears Test Assured is “all over” responding to your valid question.. Possibly they reached out to you directly. Of course that would be unfortunate for all the people reading your question, that could have also benefited to your question. If if it were me, I would invest in your own test kit and take control of the water you use. Then you would know for sure instead of relying on the “opinion” of your Management.

We live in a retirement home which has a central water filter connected to the city water main. We also have a refrigerator that has a water filter for the ice cubes and drinking water. Management tells us that there is no need to change the refrigerator’s filter, because of the main filter, every 6 months that is recommended by the refrigerator’s manufacturer. Management tells us that it does not need to be change until the water doesn’t flow fast. Is this true? Do contaminates build up in the refrigerator’s filter and maybe seep out into the ice cubes or drinking water?
