Customer Reviews for HDX Long-Life Exterior In-Line Refrigerator/Ice-Maker Water Filter

The filter was easy to install and should work for 5 years. If it does this was a great deal!

Just what I needed.

esay to putin water line

Easy to install and instantly better water quality

Product was exactly as described. Installed easily and ice tastes clean.

This filter was easy to install but did not solve my problem of white flakes in the ice. I'm sure it is filtering the water just fine but I was told that it would get rid of all the calcium calcium is what the white flakes are So far I install a new 40,000 grain Ge water softener and a GE Whole hose filter I can tell a big difference in the softened water. But these white flakes in the Ice just can't seem to get rid of them. I know they are completely safe but they are not pleasing to the eye I guess I will just have to buy my Ice

works good easy to install

More efficient, Better Price, Longer Lifespan. Triple Whammy that clearly shows the manufacturer can get lost with the factory replacement parts. 5yrs for $29.99 or pay anywhere from $15 to $39 every 6 months.

Works great ‼️‼️ I got three of them nsf approved need more of these

This product works great and installed in about 2 minutes. Water tastes great ice cubes are clear and clean.

At its cost hoping it will last the suggested five years. Could be well worth it. Large size makes installation a bit more difficult.

My refrigerator is the original in the house, right at 28 years old. As a result, any filtration must be done outside the box. Unfortunately, the GE filters and hardware I've used for the past 28 years is no longer made. So when the old filter connection began leaking, I had to change the system. An employee at HD suggested that I install SS flex line in place of the copper line that I've used forever. He said that it would work well with the long-life filter. I was not too keen since the filter was nearly $30 whereas the former GE filters had been around $11. However, my immediate options were limited so I took his suggestion. It was good advice. The hardware was easy to install and free from leaks. Even though the filter is a larger filter than that formally used, due to the flex SS tubing, I was able to push the frig closer to the wall than I had been able to do with the old copper arrangement.

We have really hard water. Even with our home filtration system this filter only lasted a year before loosing pressure. It was easy to install though.

The normal GE filter I had been using was no longer available from Home DepotDepot. This was the only alternative available @ twice + the price I previously have paid. No issues @ present however will need to see how close we get to the 5 year life expectancy.

Install was easy enough,but didn't work as I'd hoped. Filter didn't do anything to reduce calcium carbonate (hardness) in the water. Ice in glass still snows.

I always use a pre filter to add to the life of the in fridge water filter. New fridge- new filter. This one can last 6 months to 3 years depending on water usage.

The filter functions as advertised and arrived witin the time specificied.

Filter is very light and easy to connect. Water taste is very good and I recommend to everyone that is looking for a good filter. If it keeps water taste fresh for 5 years fantastic but with 1 to 2 years is great for me. Great value and good product.

This filter is so easy to install using its built-in fittings. The water tastes so good for a very long time.

The seam started to leak after 4 months. Since it was in a closet I didn't know about it til after it had done a lot of water damage. I also don't like how it connects to the water line. It is a push in fitting that doesn't have the strength of a threaded connection. The push in fitting cam leak if you don't get it aligned correctly.

Based on the many good reviews on this site, I tried this long lasting (5 year) filter in hopes of saving money as a replacement for the expensive filter designed for my refrigerator that is replaced every 6 months. Installation was simple but the filter did not improve smell or taste of water. After a week of use I returned the filter and went back to 6 month filters. Very disappointed!

returned the product because I didn't need it so stop bothering me

Would you rather pay $40+ per year for inside the fridge filters or only $30 per 5 years for an inline filter behind the fridge or in the sink cabinet? This is a no-brainer. The filter and connectors appear to be top quality. Installation on 1/4" OD water line is a breeze. Now whenever the fridge flashes REPLACE FILTER I just give it the raspberries.

Tried some of the equivalent competitors and had to bring them back more than once because they leaked right out of the box. Installed this one in less than 10 minutes and has worked great and no leaks.

I ordered the 12" hose with the product and the install took 3 min. I purged the system into my trash can for almost 15 min (instructions recommened 10). I just had my first glass of bottled water over ice and did not feel sick. This product is a must have if you use ice and do not have a built in filter. I hot glued it to the back of the fridge for ease.

Compact size. Only wish it had some kind of mount to attach it to the wall

I did not read the "Performance Data Sheet" before installation and just installed it. I can not believe that it says to flush the filter 15 Minutes before installing...15 minutes. After 2 days, I still have trash in my ice. So I will have to go back to the store and buy parts to rig up an outside connection to accomplish.

So I bought this jewel last week from my local home depot because they didn't have the type I normally get. It was very easy to install and ran for 4 days before developing a leak at the seam. I'm scrambling to find the receipt so I can return the item tomorrow morning. I will stick with the one piece models that I've used before.

Love it! Water and ice tastes great so far! Easy to install.

If I had tried this long ago I might not have bothered with the RO unit. Easy install (I needed a separate hose/fittings kit ~$10 but not everyone will need that - depends on your setup). I ran it into a bucket for a while to clear out any manufacturing residue just to be safe. I've seen that some manufacturers recommend this and some don't so that might have been overkill here. After install and a short purge of the fridge lines, the water coming out of my fridge spigot tastes wonderful. This is in San Jose, CA. Our water is not the worst I've seen (most Southern Cal municipal water I've tried is worse, for example) but it 's not anybody's favorite either. This is quite excellent now. I'll still use my RO unit for coffee because that unit produces water so pure it is very near to distilled water. That meas de-scaling of the coffee maker isn't needed (or at least very very frequently). I believe this filter here isn't doing much to remove minerals but I don't know that because I couldn't find specs in or on the package. For just drinking water I actually prefer to leave the minerals in. They say it'll last five years. I guess I'l just assess that by the taste of my water and ice cubes. I highly recommend. I now enjoy the water out of my fridge spigot. No longer putzing around with bottles around will save my precious kitchen cabinet and fridge space.
