Fridge filter have a very poor filtering capacity at most 25 to 30 microns and they use a low quality charcoal carbon.
The Nova is not using charcoal and is a 5 micron filter.
For comparison, the Nova carbon weighs iin at 6.3 pounds of pure carbon. The expensive fridge are a few ounces.
they will have zero effect and may harbor bacteria, therefore I recommend their removal.
All fridge manufacturers must have a way to use them without.
