Tools and Hardware Reviews of Brita WPRF-100 Refrigerator Replacement FilterCustomer Review: Good Alternative Filter For Your Fridge Summary: 4 Stars
I was quite happy when I saw this product was on the market. It's good to have an alternative product available as a replacement filter, since there really IS a monopoly by the OEM manufacturer that keeps the prices high on filters. I was also glad to see this was a Brita product since we also use on of their filter pitchers. The first thing I noticed is that the filter felt lighter than the OEM brand when it was new. Obviously, they are all heavier when filled with water. I think Brita might be using a different technology inside the filter.
Like one of the other reviewers, I found that the taste improved after a day or two and I am quite happy with it. I've noticed that the OEM filter still leaves a strong mineral deposit in the drip pan of our fridge. We will see how the Brita does in this dept.
The Brita filter does NOT make as many health claims as the OEM filter for lead, asbestos reduction, etc. The Brita website CLAIMS that they cannot make these statements because State regulations prohibit them since they did not manufacture the refrigerator. I'm guessing they DO reduce these contaminants, but have no idea by how much. In our case, we have a good municipal water system and I only want to reduce chlorine.
I'll probably buy this product again in 6 months, unless other non-OEM brands become available!
