Support - How do I flush my water filter?

To flush your water filter:

Grab a large container that fits in the water dispenser of the refrigerator (this can be a large measuring cup, a large drinking cup or anything big enough that conveniently and comfortably fits into the dispenser)

Position the container in the water dispenser and press in to begin dispensing water and fill the container

The number of times you will need to fill the container depends on the type of container you are using. For example, if you are using a 4-cup measuring cup, you will need to fill it four times to make 1 gallon. Remember: four cups equal one quart and four quarts equal one gallon.

Discard the water into the sink. You can reserve the water for watering any plants (tiny carbon bits will not harm the plants)

Repeat steps 1-3 until you have flushed 3-5 gallons of water

For specific directions to flush your refrigerator water filter, check the owner&rsquo s manual. Instructions can vary slightly depending on the type of filter you have, so the owner&rsquo s manual will be the safest way to ensure all installation and set-up processes are followed correctly.
