Frigidaire WF2CB PureSource2 Ice And Water Filtration System, 1 Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)

First, I saw that one reviewer has a problem with leaking filters when used in an older Frigidaire. I've had no such problem with the original filter and two replacements that I've installed. (And yuck! to see what those filters have removed from the city water!) So, maybe higher than normal water pressure is the problem and could possibly be regulated. Just a thought.My Rating:The filters are 5-star performers but even at Amazon's lower price, I still consider them "pricey", so I dropped a star.My Tip:I kept my last filter in until performance (delivered water flow rate) had diminished considerably. It was sort of an experiment in economy.

It doesn't always occur at the top seal; however, many times the leak is in the plastic but you can see where the seam glue has run down to the spot where it's leaking. It appears that the glue they are using is dissolving the weak plastic and causing it to leak. I'm not sure what you can do about it but I just save my receipts and take them back about every 2-4 months when they fail. It's a pain but the manufacturer won't do anything about it. I just won't buy another Frigidare in...Read more
