- [Authoritative Certifications] Dedicated to providing pure and healthy drinking water, Waterdrop, a world-famous water purification brand, has been trusted by over 6 million American families. Waterdrop’s high-quality replacement filters, from every component to the whole filter, have been certified by NSF and IAPMO against NSF/ANSI 401, 53, 42, and 372 standards for effective reduction of 35 substances, ensuring high-quality drinking water.
- [Comprehensive Certifications] This filter has been strictly certified against NSF/ANSI 401 for reduction of 99.2% of bisphenol A , phenytoin, estrone and naproxen and against NSF/ANSI 53 for reduction of 99.6% of lead, 96.6% of benzene and 92.3% of mercury. It is certified by IAPMO for reduction of 20 harmful substances like 99.59% of ethylbenzene, over 99% of trimethoprim, 2,4 D, Lindane, MTBE and atrazine. Furthermore, it can reduce PFOA and PFOS according to testing.
- [Deep filtration] Waterdrop’s refrigerator filters significantly reduce the levels of many different harmful substances in your water, including a 95.3% reduction in PFOA and PFOS tested by the third-party laboratory. Moreover, the filter additionally allows through many of the beneficial minerals in water that are essential for health.
- [Fast water flow, no leaks] Our mission is to supply refrigerator filters that fit perfectly, impeccably engineered; this sets us apart from inferior models of replacement filters that can frequently result in water leakage problems. The microscopic pore sizes in our filter cartridges, made of superior materials, allow for smooth running, crisp, pure water.
- [Carefully chosen materials] Waterdrop uses coconut shell carbon blocks supplied from Sri Lanka that have enlarged surface area and more micropores than inferior carbon blocks. The filter cartridge is far more effective in reducing levels of chlorine, dirt, sediment, rust, and a wide range of heavy metals tested by a third-party laboratory. We have chosen a BPA-free and food-grade housing for the filter that exceeds the NSF 372 certification for lead-free filtration.
- [Regular filter changes] If you run replacement filter past the recommended date, impurities could accumulate and filtration performance could suffer. Because of this, we supply a complimentary set of installation stickers with every filter so that you can see at a glance when it needs replacing. We recommend that you should replace your filter after it has been used for 4800 cups of water (300 gallons) or 6 months (this may vary dependent on the water condition in your area).
- [Professional standards] Our expert teams pride themselves on not letting any product or part of a product, down to the smallest components, leave our factory unless we are satisfied that they have reached and exceeded the very highest market standards. Our dedication doesn’t just apply within the factory: we have a customer service team ready to answer your questions and deal with any problems 24/7.

We have safe but off-tasking municipal water here, and this filter works for removing the off taste just as well as the original GE ones we had been using.
We bought a single filter back in November to try it, and have gotten about 7 months before the water flow slowed down noticeable. I’m not sure if that’s as long as the original filters but we’ve changed those at least once a year so it’s got to be pretty close. No light yet, but going to replace it just to get the flow back up.
These are much cheaper still in 3 packs (or 4 packs of the slightly-lower-tier “Advance”) model — really less than 1/4 what we were paying for the GE filters, so even if they don’t last quite as long it’s a good value.

I’ve been using another brand for years and thought it was fine, but when I couldn’t get my usual I went hunting and found Waterdrop Plus MWF Refrigerator Water Filter. It was more expensive than my usual filter, but OMG the water tastes so different with the Waterdrop Plus. I don’t know how to describe it except to say the water tastes cleaner or maybe smoother is a better word. I thought my old brand was good but the water tasted pretty much like tap water; you know, with that slightly harsh edge. This water tastes cleaner. I know I’m saying this wrong, but I’m really happy with Waterdrop Plus and it will be my filter choice in the future. The ice cubes even seem to be clearer.

I just cant justify the cost of the OEM filter as our water is suitable for drinking from the tap, a filter is not exactly a must have but I prefer it. The other alternative brands I was buying have jumped in price so I searched for something else and found this. The price is good and it is supposed to last longer than a regular filter which is what prompted to spend a little extra on this companies model (they have a less expensive regular life filter I was also looking at). I have only had it installed a short time so will see if the change filter light takes longer to come on – even if it doesn’t it is still a good value. So far I am happy and will reorder again if cost remains stable. Installed super easy, slipped right in with no forcing or extra effort. No leaks. Water flows well. I did hold it under the running sink to fill it with water and get as much air out as possible (I do this with all replacements. After installing did the usual few jars of water to flush out “things”, with nothing visible to the eye on those first few pitchers of water. All in all a worth it alternative to the more expensive options.

This refrigerator water filter arrived safe and sound. And it works great. Filter quality seems great, was easy to replace. Will buy this when I once again need to replace the filter. The water tastes and looks great.

At a fraction of the price of the brand-name MWF filter, this seems to have the same quality standards, and easily fits into my refrigerator’s filter receptacle.

First things first – these fit properly and work as advertised. EXCELLENT value for the price. Will definitely purchase again.
HOWEVER – it is worth noting that the housing does not have the three little grooves that are at the bottom of the original Claris filters. That means that they dont have a “positive” seating when you put the new filter in, and it wants to slip out of the connector at the bottom of the water tank. DO NOT BE ALARMED. You just need to hold the filter in place with one hand while you shut the retainer door with the other. Once you get the door clicked shut, the filter stays in place just fine, with no leaks or other problems.

Going through generic products and reading reviews always make me question if it’s worth saving money vs the OEM alternative. There were a few concerning review that can be deterring. I’m thankful we purchased the filter.
We soaked it in distilled water for about ten minutes prior to installation. I searched the instruction manual and so did my wife, and neither saw this in there. But once installed, it was virtually ready to go. A few instances of floaters in the first few days of usage, and air bubbles took overnight to subside. But other than that it’s been a great filter. We have clean, drinkable water, no leaks, no issues, and the price was so reasonable compared to the OEM filter. And this fit our GE fridge without issue or modification needed.
Overall, we’re very happy with the purchase. We’d buy it again. And we’d recommend it.
