The 10 Best Refrigerator Water Filters

For this post, I have put together a collection of the best refrigerator water filters currently available.
UPDATED: November 24th, 2018.  
Filters help to reduce contaminants in your water such as:
Chlorine Taste & Odor - chlorine is widely used in water treatment as disinfectants but may add particular odor and taste to the water.
Heavy Metals & Chemicals - such as lead and other common industrial contaminants with high toxicities can infiltrate water source and endanger your health.
Microbial Cysts - parasites such as cyrptosporidium is commonly found in lakes and rivers. It has high resistance over disinfectants such as chlorine thus can remain longer inside water.
With these filters, enjoy fresh filtered water right from your refrigerator dispenser.
