Editorial Product Review:Item Description:The Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Filter 4396508 is a new and improved filter that replaces the Whirlpool 4392857 Ice and Water filter. The 4396508 is certified to remove additional impurities... the 4392857 is no longer available. This filter fits most Whirlpool and Kenmore refrigerators where the filter is located in the base grille, and can be used in refrigerators with any of the following water filtration systems: WF-NL240V, NL240V, WF-L400V, L400V, WF-NL300, NL300, WF-L500, L500, WF-L400, L400, WF-NL240, NL240. It can also be used to replace any of the following part numbers which may be mentioned in your manual: Whirlpool 4392857 & Whirlpool 4396509. It does not fit fridges with recently introduced 'push-button' style in-grill filters. It improves the taste and odor of the water and removes the following impurities: 99.0% of Chlorine, 95.1% of Particulates (Class II), 99.35% of Lead at pH 6.5, 99.31% of Lead at pH 8.5, 96.22% of Mercury at pH 6.5, 91.57% of Mercury at pH 8.5, 96.4% of Benzene, 99.77% of p-dichlorobenzene, 92.86% of Toxaphene, and 92.5% of Carborfuran. It Does Not Remove Flouride. Whirlpool recommends that you replace the filter every 6 months OR when the filter change indicator light comes on OR if the refrigerator has not been used for more than two weeks (for instance, during a move) OR if you notice a decrease in the flow of water or objectionable tastes in the water or ice.

FREE SHIPPING OFFER BY FILTERSFAST NOT HONORED
Feedback I left regarding a recent order with FiltersFast was removed, so I'm reposting. I purchased 3 filters from FiltersFast pursuant to a BUY 3 AND GET FREE SHIPPING offer, which the ad stated SHIPS FROM AND SOLD BY FILTERSFAST, however I was charged for shipping. FiltersFast admits the ad is misleading and a violation of amazon's policies that prohibit sellers from posting seller-specific info, such as free shipping offers, in product descriptions, but refused to issue a refund.

Great Value
I had ordered replacement filters through Whirlpool and got the wrong ones. I found this set of three which cost less than two from Whirlpool. The Whirlpool service would have been convenient if I would have gotten the correct part for a reasonable price. Don't make the same mistake I did, shop around!

Buy in Bulk
Very convenient to be able to buy this item in a three pack, so I don't have to go to a specific store every 6 months.

Pur water filter for Kenmore and Whirlpool refrigerators
Gonna keep this review short and sweet...
These are high-quality filters, ensuring pure, taste-free drinking water from your in-door water and ice dispensing system. Buying them in the 3-pack is economical, and will last you over a year (depending on use, of course).
I deducted one star due to the fact that these need to have a few quarts of water run through them before one can expect completely clear output. I suppose this is just nit-picking, but I think anyone considering these would want to know what to expect before purchasing them.
Hope this helps!
