Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Yep, their proprietary filters are very overpriced. When we bought our GE fridge it came with a blockoff adapter so the ice maker and water dispenser would work without a filter in place. I have a very nice inline filter before the fridge, it has a high capacity and is a lot cheaper than the filters that go inside the fridge--and it frees up more room for food.
Obviously, this isn't a good answer for folks who don't have easy access to the water line going to the fridge.
That's interesting. I will have to check if I can do the same with my Samsung.
