Frigidaire Water Filter Bypass for PureSource Ultra® ULTRAWF and PureSource® 3 WF3CB

Unbelievably expensive for a bit of plastic that does no filtering. This is the sort of item that should be included with the refrigerator for free.

These filters are a ripoff and complete garbage. Several times I've bought them, they last about a month, then turn into an unusable dribble. At about 40 bucks a pop, you do the math - say $200 a year over 5 years - $1000! Ridiculous; what a racket. Fridgidaire should be embarrassed.

I have a high quality reverse osmosis system that feeds the refrigerator, sink tap, coffee machine, and whole house humidifier. When you have such a setup, the stock carbon filter from Electrolux actually adds carbon sediment to the product water. The bypass is literally just exactly that, an empty cartridge with minimal restriction and less subsequent pressure drop, which is very important for RO applications because of low storage pressures vs standard potable water supply pressure. Once installed this never needs replacement, improves water flow, ice making and saves loads of $$. Let me repeat, even with replacing filters regularly on my commercial RO system, it’s still cheaper than buying the std filter for these refrigerators! Plus the product water is superior to the fridge filter alone. Water testing proved this, since the fridge came with the carbon filter and I had to order this separately, allowing me to test both the carbon filter and RO, and RO with bypass. The bypass was cleaner!!!No plastic taste noticed, please ensure you properly maintain your RO system, regularly sterilize as per mfgr instructions, and remember that the piping in an RO system, the fridge etc, is all polyethylene anyway… never use CU in a RO system.

Since I have Reverse Osmosis (RO) routed to my fridge, I needed a bypass to increase the speed at which I could dispense water; I also didn't want to waste money on unnecessary filters. Unfortunately, the bypass makes the water taste like plastic.I have to direct guests not to use the fridge water because it tastes so bad. All things considered, I find this product nearly worthless! Wish I could get my money back. Frigidaire -- Tip: Make a sturdy glass bypass to avoid this issue. Plastic is cheap but its not ideal for water-drinking. Your product ruins the water.
