"Another overlooked spot is the fridge water dispenser filter. Easy to forget, but swapping it regularly keeps water tasting fresh and prevents buildup issues."
True, but honestly, those fridge filters are a bit overrated in my experience. I've managed several properties, and tenants rarely notice a difference when I skip the pricey OEM filters and just install a decent inline filter under the sink instead. Cheaper, lasts longer, and does the job just fine. Plus, less hassle remembering to swap it out every few months...
Yeah, inline filters under the sink are definitely underrated. I've noticed fridge filters can slow down water flow quite a bit once they start clogging up—inline setups usually keep things running smoother for longer, plus they're way easier on the wallet.
I've been thinking about switching to an inline filter myself, mostly because those fridge filters are getting ridiculously pricey lately. Last time I replaced mine, I swear it cost almost double what it did a couple years ago... crazy. But I'm curious—does anyone know if inline filters handle hard water buildup better? Our water here is pretty mineral-heavy, and the fridge filter seems to clog up faster than usual because of it. Would be nice to find something that lasts longer and doesn't break the bank every few months.
