If you don't use the refrigerator filter, is there a difference in the taste of the water - for the better or for the worse? To your knowledge, is the Nova Filter list of items that it filters comparable to a refrigerator filter? I can not find a list of the specific things that the Nova filter actually filters like you find on a refrigerator filter. I Really hate changing the refrigerator filter!

Like polar bear said, no need for refrigerator filter. Water is already filtered before it gets to the fridge. It’s redundant, an unnecessary cost, and a pain in the a$$ to change.

I just ordered a new filter for the refrigerator not knowing when it was last replaced. I decided to install the new refrigerator filter with the idea of never having to replace it again because of the Nova filter system that was installed. The refrigerator filter claims to remove any chlorine smell or taste. You can only do that with a carbon filter which usually filters down to 5 or 2 microns. Depending on your water usage, carbon filters can last a very long time. Now that I have the whole house Nova filter system which also has a carbon filter in its #3 cartridge. I expect the refrigerator filter will last a very long time.

You may or may not need a cap on the refrigerator water filter. Ours is self sealing. I called the refrigerator company and checked on that so, we don’t need a cap on. If yours is not self sealing you will need a cap

Yes, leaking is not an issue, just that it leaves a big 3" (or whatever it is) diameter hole facing out of the front of the refrigerator. The filter is right in the middle of the fridge between the 2 drawers. Just looks pretty flaky if I leave it out.

Really, guess that’s why the water tastes like something out of a Clorox bottle. Then there is the iron, ....... I like water that tastes like water and not recycled waste water.
