EcoPure EPINL30 5-Year In-Line Refrigerator Water Filter Universal Fit for Most Fridges Ice Makers RVs Boats Reduces Chlorine

The unit is easy to install and works very well for about 2 years. I suspect that is because of the filthy water supply in this part of Texas. After the two years, the carbon buildup starts in all parts of the house. Your water supply makes a lot of difference. When it is installed, the Ice maker, works very well, also. Read more

The EPINL30 filter has been my go-to choice for the past five years, and for good reason. It's incredibly easy to install, which is always a plus. More importantly, it consistently delivers clean water with a good taste, making a noticeable difference in the quality of my drinking water. The low price point also makes it an economical choice. While the packaging suggests a five-year lifespan, it's practically impossible to gauge the exact water usage through a fridge. Because of this, I opt for a monthly replacement schedule, ensuring I always have the freshest, best-tasting water possible. It's a reliable and affordable filter that truly performs. Read more

One of these was installed in my house when I purchased it, and when I purchased a new fridge, I figured it was time to replace the in-line filter as well. Installation could not have been easier. The instructions are clear, but if you already had one of these installed, it's really just plug and play. Since my fridge was brand new, I wanted to preserve the filter that came with it as long as possible, since that costs about $50 and needs to be replaced twice a year, and this costs around $30 and is good for 5 years. I expect that it's going to really extend the life of my fridge filter, and honestly, this is the best tasting water I've ever gotten out of this house, with absolutely no detectable chlorine/chloramine taste, as there is with our tap water. I'll gladly repurchase this again and again. Read more

I installed this water filter on 2-16-24 and almost to the day I started tasting the chlorine 24 months later. Good filter and may “last” 5 years but it only provides clean tasting water for a couple years. Read more

Easy set up, replaced a 90s filter that I couldn't find in retail depots. Read more

We moved and our new place had the worst tasting water (and it is even city water). The city water department assured that all was up to par, but just tasted Ugh. Went through a bunch of LG refrigerator filters and other brands, but still didn't budge the "burnt" chlorine taste. My husband decided to add an inline filter, and so began the Amazon search for the best in-line filter for our needs. Voila, this 5 year EcoPure was the winner. Super EZ install from the refrigerator angle valve (not under sink). Be sure and watch the video in the listing showing how to install. BTW My husband also purchased braided line instead of using the plastic one in the kit. He ran the line to the top of the refrigerator and attached the filter there for EZ replacement when it comes time for that. The other part we bought from Amazon for installation was "Refrigerator Water Line Kit - 10FT Stainless Steel Braided Ice Maker Water Line with Brass Ball Valve, Food grade PEX Inner Hose Fridge Water Line with 1/4" Comp Fitting and 1/4" Comp Valve". He wanted the shutoff valve, and the braided line - he already had a 10 ft braided line installed so this way he had braided line on the intake and the outgoing feed of the filter. Installation was very fast and he let the water flow until clear, and also threw out the first 3 ice cube dumps. Now the water and ice is wonderful and we are VERY grateful for that! Read more

I do not normally write reviews but in this case I decided to do so as I bought the product even after reading many of the negative reviews on this water filter as it appeared most of them were due to operator error or the fact that how long a water filter lasts, in spite of the time specified by the manufacturer, very much depends on the local water quality. There is no getting around that. So here is my two cents. It was easy to install and there were no leaks even after connecting it, disconnecting it, and reconnecting it several times just to be sure. The provided brass compression fitting to PTF (Push to Fit) adapters at each end provide the flexibility to make the water connections by either using a standard 1/4" NPT (National Pipe Thread for those of you who do not know what that is) compression fitting or by following the provided instructions and removing the brass adapters via the built-in PTF feature. This is done by pushing in on the quick-disconnect collets at each end and pulling out the adapters, which I also did several times after reinstalling them and there were no leaks. This is a really good feature because even if one connects the filter using the 1/4" NPT compression option (a tried and true type of plumbing connection), which only requires two small wrenches, once it is connected after that, one can use the PTF connections to replace the filter and no tools are required. This feature will also allow one to use other PTF type water filters as many are made with this feature nowadays. The filter's 5-year life also makes it a cost effective purchase compared to others. Lastly, I had a question as to whether this filter would fit into the Lasco #37-2201 2-inch water filter bracket designed to fit more standard size water filters and sometimes sold with this filter because in the online photos this filter appears larger in diameter than most others and it is (approximately 3 inches in diameter). I called EcoPure and got through to a real live human in short order but the front-line customer service people did not have that specification available but thought it would fit. In spite of all of that; yes, it does fit because the diameter of the filter cannister at the “out” end is stepped down to two inches and if one looks carefully, this is visible in the online photos. Easy peasy. Read more
