What is the difference between the 5231JA2002A & the 5231JA2002A-2?
LG orginally had one manufacturer (Aqua Pure) make their filter under a patent. As the patent has now expired, other manufacturers have been licensed to manufacture this filter. The '-2' series is a USA made filter which is manufactured to the same standards, just offered at a slightly better price.
What is the benefit of having a water filter in my fridge?
The 5231JA2002A-2 removes the following impurities from your drinking water:
- 92% of Chlorine, 96% of rust, dirt, sand, and sediment. (5 to 15 microns in size).
- It provides better tasting and smelling water with improved clarity.
- The 5231JA2002A-2 does NOT remove Fluoride.
Changing the filter regularly in your ice/water refrigerator also reduces the build-up of scale in your ice-making mechanism thereby reducing the need for costly services.
The 5231JA2002A-2 cartridge is tested and certified by NSF International to meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standard 42.
