Samsung Water Filter Replacement (HAF-CIN)

I debated on whether to get a Samsung filter or some aftermarket but after hearing some people say that it took more than 4 or 5 gallons on an aftermarket filter to get clear water, I decided to go with the Samsung. About 4 gallons is recommended after installation and prior to drinking. Installation was quick and maybe just a small dribble of water, if any. Make sure to match the exact filter with you refrigerator so that you have an exact fit; not all Samsung filters and refrigerators are interchangeable. The price is a bit high but I would recommend an OEM filter as apposed to an aftermarket based on what I have heard and my experience.

I agree with other reviewers: What can you say about a water filter... it either works or it doesn't. Mine did. But then, I already have great-tasting water without it. The filter can't do anything to affect the water we drink from the tap or use to cook with. However, I read somewhere that the filter aids in keeping the water system in the fridge running smoothly, so I buy it. No complaints except for the exorbitant price, which is another way for Samsung and other appliance makers to keep making money from an already paid-for purchase. I recommend this product to a friend only because refrigerator manufacturers obligate owners to use them.

I know water filters aren't exactly exciting, but they are important to providing you and your family clean water. There are always less expensive options you can buy, but I'm not one for taking a chance on using anything other than genuine replacement filters for my refrigerator. It can't be easier to replace the filter. Simply unscrew the filter you have, remove it, then insert and tighten the new filter. It is recommended you flow a few quarts of water through after you've replaced the filter to get any air out from the replacement process. Then you're good to go till your notified it's time for a new replacement.
