What is the difference between the UKF7003AXX & the UKF7003AXX-2?
Maytag and Jennair orginally had one manufacturer 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 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 UKF7003AXX-2 removes the following impurities
from your drinking water:
- Lead, more than 99% Cysts, more than 75% Chlorine and more than 85% particles of rust, sand, dirt and sediment (0.5 to 1 micron in size).
- It is also reported to improve the clarity of the water.
- This filter does NOT remove Fluoride.
- Overall, it provides better tasting and smelling water with improved clarity.
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 UKF7003AXX-2 cartridge is tested and certified by NSF International to meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standard 42.
