Water filter in the fridge?

[-] Ptsf@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Any fridge with an ice maker or water dispenser will have a built in filter that needs replaced yearly. Almost nobody does.

[-] brb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

That makes sense. I had never heard of a fridge with an ice maker or water dispenser before

We've had this issue recently on our fridge where it's dispensing water with occasional bio film in it... how do you completely clean the waterlines in a fridge lol

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Just use a sink faucet for minimal waste.

The filter takes out heavy metals, microbes, and particulates present in many public water supplies.

Oh... That's the meaning of this meme. I never seen a fridge this a water dispenser. I didn't knew it was a thing.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I was really confused why my fridge would have a water filter, let alone why it would dispense things.

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 5 months ago

I don't think I even see this in movies. I've saw those weird ice dispenser but I don't remember seeing water dispenser. Strange things that even fridge changes so much across the world.

Really depends on the filter too. There's a huge difference between a plastic mesh filter with some activated carbon in a fridge line vs a whole house RO setup.

*Many public water supplies in the US.

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

There's indeed less waste involved this way. But not everywhere you go in the world, has good drinking water from the tap. Water filters are at times, a continual necessity.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -3 points 5 months ago

Is fridge water not tap water?

[-] Nachorella@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 months ago

Filtered tap water.
