Kenmore PUR Ultimate II single pack Stage Filteration Replacement Water Filter

• Sorry no P.O. Boxes or AK & HI orders

Right after I installed it, the filter failed to filter. The water had a strong unfiltered chemical taste. I wondered if this was a return or used filter put back on the shelf and sold as a new filter. It is also a Sears ripoff as the price is too high. It is made by PUR so buy it elsewhere.

I have owned a Sears Coldspot Model 106.56572400 fridge for the last seven years.

The filter which came with it was a Pur Ultimate II. Part number 9030.

This filter goes by various part numbers. e.g. Whirlpool, etc.

This is the BEST water filter which I have ever tried. You DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

Yes, I have to admit, that I have shopped the stores/internet; and bought the cheaper filters

which are compatible with my fridge. I have (and more importantlythe wife) noticed the difference.

Now, I have a three year-old girl and a 1.5 year old boy. I don''t go cheap anymore.

Something about this filter JUST SIMPLY is better.

We don''t have crappy water, or iron/sulfur, or anything. I would call our municipal water ''just average''.

We do not soften our water.

The filter itself is of sturdy construction, has good end caps, and the screw ridges at the top (to accept the

grill beauty cap) have never failed. Installation is dead simple.

Per instructions, YOU MUST RUN AT LEAST five large tumbler glasses of water thru after installing. If you don''t,

you get shots of air which spurt out. However, this would be normal on any filter (as it is filling up with water).

Yes, there will be some discoloration (that''s the charcoal getting wet inside), etc. You certaintly don''t drink these five

glasses of water. I have never encountered a problem with my water/ice system in my fridge. This ''break-in'' is common for all fridge filters and your little Brita handheld as well.

I was told by the service tech that a way to better judge the life of your filters is to ignore the computer lights which come on and tell you to replace your filter. This is just a computer counting six months on the clock. The way to judge when your filter needs changing is to watch the ice maker. When the ice maker starts to drop ice that has several cubes stuck together, (2-3-or 4) then you are getting close to needing a change. (Watch the edges of the cubes as well.) This will tell you better how your filter is doing and coming to the end of useful life. Some people use large amounts of water in six months, others not so much. My wife swears by the filtered water for her teaand right as clockwork, at 6.5 months we need a new filter.

When you shop for a water filter at the ''cheap discount stores''be careful that they don''t substitute a ''ultimate I'' for a ''ultimate II'' series filter. (That''s why the price is $25 cheaper per cartridge.) You REALLY have to watch the name. That ''II'' makes all the diference.

In short, the best filter you can find for your fridge. And yes, I grumble about the price, too.

I am guessing the previous comments were because you must flush the first 3 gallons before drinking. The first 3 gallons do have a chemical to clean the line.

We don''t exactly have the best water even though it is well water. These purifiers offer a little more comfort of knowing that we are drinking cleaner and healthier.

My water now has a funny smell. I can''t be sure it''s this filter, but my water didn''t smell until I got this filter. It smells pretty badly.

These fitlers are the same price as everywhere else listed. Buy somewhere else. Just incase.
