Now, more and more refrigerators are equipped with ice machines and water dispensers, so its maintenance is even more important. To ensure clean and safe water flows out of the refrigerator, you need to maintain an up-to-date water filter. An important aspect of preparing a water filter is to rinse it. This basically means that before you use it, let water flow through it to remove all kinks and loose carbon particles.

1. Reasons for flushing the refrigerator filter

Most refrigerator filters contain a carbon-based cylindrical block. Why carbon? The carbon absorbs bacteria and particles in the water and acts like a net when the water passes through the filter block. If the filter is not flushed, you will see small pieces of carbon scattered. Now, small pieces of carbon are not harmful, but in order to get smooth, clear water, you need to take care of this before installing the filter and proceeding. It is not uncommon for people to change the refrigerator filter without rinsing, then find the gray water and think their filter is waste. Before throwing away a perfect filter and buying a new one, the same problem is immediately discovered, knowing how to flush the refrigerator immediately can immediately change the water produced by the filter.

2. How to flush the filter

Although it is often overlooked when replacing a new 9030 water filter, it is a small step that can have a real impact on your water immediately. So, what is needed to flush the filter? This is actually very simple and can be done after you install the filter in the refrigerator.

There are two different routes to choose from, depending on whether your refrigerator has an ice maker or an ice maker and water dispenser. If your refrigerator only has an ice maker, you can properly and fully flush the new filter by running the ice maker and pouring out the first two batches of ice. After that, all your ice should be clean and carbon-free.
