Brita GERF-100 Refrigerator Water Filter (Compatible with GE SmartWater MWF)

From the world's #1 brand in household water filtration, the Brita GERF-100 Replacement Filter fits all refrigerators that use the GE SmartWater MWF filter cartridge.

The GERF-100 is guaranteed by Brita to fit AND make your water taste better. What more could you ask for?

The Brita GERF-100 removes the following impurities from your drinking water:

• Chlorine
• Particulates (Class I)

As with all built-in refrigerator water filters, the GERF-100 does not remove Fluoride

The Brita GERF-100 filter is tested and certified by the Water Quality Association (WQA) to meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standard 42

Does the Brita GERF-100 really only remove Chlorine and Particulates?

Since Brita didn't manufacture your refrigerator, they aren't allowed to make claims about all of the contaminants that the GERF-100 will remove once installed in your fridge.

So, what exactly will the Brita GERF-100 filter remove from my water?

While we can't say exactly which contaminants it removes, the GERF-100 uses the same Brita Advanced Carbon Block technology used in Brita faucet filters.

The GERF-100 Refrigerator Water Filter should be replaced every 6 months or when the "change filter" light comes on - whichever comes first.

Installing your new water filter:

1. Twist the old filter a half-turn counterclockwise
2. Pull the filter straight down and discard (don't worry, the water will shut off automatically)
3. Fill the new filter with water (you can use the cold water faucet on your kitchen sink)
4. Push the new filter up into the fridge until it stops
5. Twist the filter a half-turn clockwise
6. Run water through the dispenser for 3 minutes
7. Reset your "change filter" light (if your fridge has one)

Resetting your "change filter" light:

• Press and hold the reset water filter button on the dispenser for 3 seconds.

These filters are interchangeable, so you can use either of them in your fridge...

Staff Rating The FridgeFilters.com Staff Rating is based on an in-depth analysis of the filter materials, construction, packaging, specifications, and certification. Generally speaking, a filter with more stars is NSF certified, is made of high-grade plastic with tight seams, and has no sharp edges. The filter label and box are well designed, and include color photos to aid in installation. Once installed, the filter produces better tasting, healthier water. Factors include: Flow rate, capacity (filter life), micron rating, etc. Filtering material - carbon block, granular carbon, pleated paper, etc. The type of contaminants removed by the filter - Chlorine, Lead, Cysts, etc. The number of different contaminants removed The percentage reduction of each contaminant Materials used to make the housing Tightness of seams, quality of o-rings, etc. Certification by an independent agency - ANSI, NSF, WQA, etc. Length of manufacturers warranty, Good Housekeeping seal of approval, etc. Detailed installation instructions on the filter label, box, or both Country of manufacture - USA, Mexico, Taiwan, China, etc.	(more info) The Brita filter is really well made, with nice tight seams and crisp edges. The box and label include detailed installation instructions - which is nice since you only change the filter twice a year. The filter removes as many impurities as the best filters we sell, and Brita guarantees it will fit and make the water taste better. Great filter, great price, trusted brand... the Brita is hard to beat.	(more info) The MWF should fit perfectly since GE Engineers designed both the filter system and the filter cartridge - there's no guesswork here. The name, part number, and specs are printed on the filter itself, rather than on a label - which gives it a more "polished" feel, and GE includes detailed specs, filter change instructions, and an actual NSF certification inside the box. A great, no-compromise, genuine GE filter.
