everydrop by Whirlpool Ice & Water Refrigerator Filter 1, Purple, EDR1RXD1

Even though the amazon fitment chart doesn't show my model. This is the correct filter for: Whirlpool model# WRS315SDHZ02 This filter is incredibly easy to install. My application is a side-by-side freezer (left) refrigerator (right). The filter depending on the model can be located below the freezer door as my model is, or inside the refrigerator door upper right corner. There's no need to pull the refrigerator out to shut off water, because the valve closes as you pull out the old filter. I was able to do my filter without laying on the ground. Kneeling with my arm in a sling. Step 1: Open freezer door Step 2: Open filter access door and notice it pulls the old filter out as you open the door. Step 3: Note the directional arrow tabs. There's one on the back of the filter and one to the left to indicate proper orientation. This is because it will only go in one way so pay attention and don't force it. Step 4: with old used filter cartridge pulled out, align the arrows in the same direction and lightly but firmly push new filter until it starts to make contact. Step 5: Finish seating the new filter using the access door. Make sure it closes and latches completely. You will notice a sound of water and air as water fills the cartridge. Step 6: Using a jar or glass, purge the air completely through the system at the regular water spout and continue for a few cups of water. Step 7: Reset the Filter timer. On my model it was the colder select button held for 3 seconds. Then you'll see the filter LED light go on, then go off. Step 8: Inspect for leaks. Use a flashing look underneath. You may want to use a small mirror if you can't lay flat. But you'll know if you have a leak. If no leaks than your done! If so, the quickest way to stop it is to pull the cartridge. Inspect and make sure the O-rings are not rolled or damaged. If they look fine or if they roll off, you may try applying a small light coat of petroleum jelly such as chap stick or vaseline as a previous person mentioned. However, I wouldn't do this unless your O-ring seals continue to roll. The whole process only takes a few minutes! You can do this! I would agree that it's probably overpriced and there may be similar filters. But, I chose this filter because even though it probably is Chinese made. It doesn't have a NSF certificate from inspection from China to be sold as "Safe" to use for containment of Food or drink. That tells me that the quality control is at a company level in the states. It's worth the peace of mind for me to spend the difference in cost. It would give even more peace of mind if it did say made in America. Just saying. I still give it 5 stars because it arrived fast. It works well and improves well water anesthetics. This is the second one I have bought and I am satisfied with the flow and taste even a little after 6 months of running well water through it with just a water softener and no other pre-filtration. Definitely would last longer on municipal water or having proper whole home filtration, based on testing to see what is above the MCL for your particular well if you have one. Turbidity, natural occurring minerals and scale (soaping) from softener regeneration are usually what plugs up filters etc. If you're on municipal water, typically distribution lines are flushed at least once a year. Usually in the fall. You may call to ask when your area may get flushed. That way you can help flush any disinfection byproducts and Turbidity out of your garden hose before it goes into the house and once it's clear, then may be the best time for filter replacement and or cleaning water softner regeneration tanks. Ask me how I know. 😉

Makes the water taste great. I have had fitment issues in the past with these so I've learned to only purchase when the machine requests it rather than ahead. I ordered it once and I could not get the filter to snap in at all. Swapped it out (the replacement) for the exact same thing and magically popped right into place in my Whirlpool fridge so $50 down the drain since I was way back return date. Overall these filters seem worth it and I change them twice a year when the machine calls for it.

I always repurchase my filter from Amazon. It fits and works great! The directions are clear and the water tastes and looks great. I’ve never had an issue. Will definitely continue repurchasing for my whirlpool fridge and freezer

First off, this filter is great. It does exactly what it's supposed to and does it well for quite a while. A couple of questions always come up around these things and I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge as an engineer, and what I do for my family to keep them safe, but always do your own research because it's your water! Pro-Tips Q&A: Q. When my light turns on in the refrigerator that says "Change Filter", is the filter really worn out vs they just want me to buy a new one like a subscription service? A. The answer to this is a frustrating "It depends". Some refrigerators just turn on the light every X amount of hours of run time, usually around 4380 (six months). Others measure how many gallons of water you have used and then turn on the light (usually around 200-250 gallons) but I have never seen one that measures ONLY gallons. Some really new ones measure flow rate as a third indicator and when the flow changes by a certain percent it might trigger a filter change light because the computer assume that the filter is not doing its job any longer. There may be a rating printed right on the filter to check how many gallons it's good for. Most newish models fridges in the last 10-15 years watch both hours and gallons and turn on the light whatever is happens first, 6 months or 200 gallons. The newest watch flow, gallons and time and will act accordingly. I have one newer fridge that will turn on the light within a month if you use a cheap knock off. I don't use this fridge for water or ice so it doesn't matter, but the flow of the knock-offs is effected such that the fridge believes that it isn't getting filtered properly and with these cheap knock-offs it's probably right so I went back to OEM even on that fridge and I just change it once per year and I'm done with it. Safety first even if I don't plan to use it! Q. So if I am not using 200 gallons, do I need to replace it every six months? A. The answer is again, it depends. Here is where it gets tricky. How bad is the water coming in, and how much sediment and other things are you filtering out? In other words, how hard are you working the filter? The carbon in the filter only has so much capacity to absorb stuff. At some point it becomes less effective and the water just passes through without being filtered because the carbon is saturated and can't handle any more. The way I figured out what was right for me was I checked my water with those water check strips you can get here on Amazon, and I figured out exactly how bad the water was and what was in it. Then I figured out how that compared to the average water across the U.S. domestic market (EPA numbers) and I figured out my water was somewhat cleaner than then average but also on the hard side. This gives you your base to know around how much the filter will likely absorb. If you figure the manufacturer assumes 200 gallons of average water, and you can adjust if yours is above or below average. I figured in my case these OEM filters were in fact good for around 268 gallons without an issue, assuming they were in fact honest and 200 gallons was the right starting point (slight leap of faith there). That was a 30%+ increase beyond the recommended number. Using up my box of test strips basically proved it out although I figure around 250 gallons or so it would start to show less effective. For the refrigerator that this particular filter is going into, it's not seeing 200+ gallons in a year. Remember: Include ice creation in your water calculation. Therefore for me, and this refrigerator (vs my others) I could get away with replacing the filter only once per year. Q. Why not go over a year and wait until 200+ gallons???? A. Well that is because it is possible that bacteria can grow in the carbon and get transferred to the water. This is unlikely, but possible and as the bacteria take up space itself (very little) you can make the filter less effective AND less safe, so I change it at LEAST once a year just to be safe. The carbon in a solid state like in these filters does not break down when exposed to water so I don't have to calculator that. Q. Why not use a cheaper knock-off filter at half the price and replace it twice as often, or at a 1/4 the price and replace it twice as often saving lots of money? Well, for me, I don't trust what these knock-off filters claim. Some of the claims are so outrageous I am surprised they don't claim it cures cancer. You find these on the Chinese knock-offs in particular. Avoid these at all costs. Some of the more reputable filter replacements are probably ok, but they might skimp on carbon, or have wider channels so there is less carbon, use a different density carbon etc. that may make them cheaper but less effective. The only way to tell for sure is to take water measurements and then cut the filter open to see for yourself across samples taken over a 6 month period. That is a heck of a lot of work when I know that I am replacing them at the right interval, plus I know for sure the OEM manufacturer doesn't want to get sued or take a reputational risk so their specs are likely correct. I want to keep my family safe, so I just go with the OEM version and make my calculations. Remember, you are DRINKING this. Either in frozen Ice form or liquid form. Your family, your children, your guests, friends, relatives drink this. Spend a little extra money to get a filter you know works and will be safe for your family. I hope you found this helpful.

It should not cost this much! But it works without issues. One has to wonder if its truly filtering the bad stuff out or if it just helps the water taste better...

The everydrop by Whirlpool Filter 1 is a reliable replacement filter that works exactly as expected for compatible refrigerators. Installation is quick and straightforward. It clicks securely into place and the refrigerator recognizes it right away without any issues. Within a short time after installation, the water tasted noticeably cleaner and fresher compared to the old filter. The filtration quality is one of the strongest points. It reduces common contaminants and helps eliminate the chlorine taste that sometimes comes through tap water. Ice cubes also come out clear and taste better, which is a nice improvement if you regularly use the ice maker. The filter housing feels well-built and fits perfectly into the refrigerator’s designated slot, which helps avoid leaks or improper sealing. One helpful tip is to run a few gallons of water through the dispenser after installing a new filter to flush out any carbon residue from the filter media. It’s also a good idea to mark the installation date so you remember when it’s time for the next replacement. Overall, this filter is an easy and dependable way to maintain clean-tasting drinking water and ice directly from your refrigerator.

Very punctual delivery

Make sure you buy the unit that fits with your model of fridge. Great OEM filter replacement. Removes all tastes from our water. Doesn't last as long as we would like, but we do run a lot of water though it. Be sure to run the 2-3 liters through it to remove charcoal before drinking.

Excelente producto y de buena calidad, lo recomiendo mucho

Parfait!
