Bacteria stew with every glass of water or ice cube.
Does the Nova system remove chlorine too? (disinfectant) Wouldn't that make the refrigerator filter even more of a bacteria collector?

Yes, I think the filter system will remove chlorine. That is why I am skeptical of these filter systems. The water that comes to your house has chlorine to protect you against harmful bacteria. So, if you leave the water sitting on your pipes after it leaves the filter, isn't there the possibility of that water becoming contaminated? With regard to the refrigerator, I would continue to use the filter as designed. It really doesn't cost that much, and will provide additional filtering.
