Every water filter has a life span, and the UKF8001 is no exception. Some signs show that a replacement is overdue.
- Water flow from the dispenser is significantly slower than normal.
- Water or ice has a strange smell or bad taste.
- Your refrigerator indicator lights show filter change due alarms.
As a general rule, replacement is every 6 months or 200 gallons of water filtered, whichever occurs first.
Tips to Extend Filter Efficiency
For optimal performance with the UKF8001 filter, you should:
- Clear the filter properly by flushing with water before first use to activate and remove carbon dust.
- Stick to the replacement schedule. Too long a wait can result in poor taste and blockage.
- Avoid being caught off guard by keeping track of replacement dates.
You can be assured that your refrigerator still delivers fresh, safe, and great-tasting water with consistent installation and maintenance.
