FilterShop Ultra-Filtration Fridge Filter Upgrade Kit
This Kit combines our Generic External Fridge Filter and an In-Line Ultra Filtration Membrane. The Ultra Filtration Membrane removes sediment from the water but more importantly blocks bacteria from getting to the fridge.
Connect the incoming line (1/4" white pipe) to the connection on the FilterShop Generic Fridge Filter. Once you have connected the inlet water line. You will need to flush the filters for 5 minutes to 30 minutes. This is done by running water through the system until the preservative cannot be detected in a sample glass of water. The preservative leaves a “film” on the water and also has a bitter taste. If you are seeing this in your water after a new installation, flush and test until no hints of the preservative can be detected.
Please note if there is a white color to the water that settles out towards the top of the glass, this is most likely caused by tiny air bubbles in the water. This is caused by the Ultra Filtration membrane and is completely normal. This should subside over time as excess air in the system is removed. The air bubbles in the water will not affect the quality of your drinking water.
Now connect the pipe (1/4" white pipe) going to the fridge to Ultra Filtration Membrane (UF). Now you should have filtered water feeding your fridge.
- Serves as a replacement for Samsung DA29-10105 & LG 5231ja2012a.
- The Generic Fridge Filter is designed to be attached to 1/4 Inch Piping (6mm)
- The Generic Fridge Filter will remove chlorine and organic molecules, improving the smell and taste of the water.

Additional Options
Upgrade Generic Fridge Filter to Silver Nano Fridge Filter
The Nano Silver particles in this filter prevent bacteria from growing out of control on the Carbon inside the filter. This has a few advantages, firstly you don’t have the effect of getting more and more bacteria over time from the bacteria sitting in the filter and multiplying. (this does happen with normal fridge filters and is the main reason why you need to replace them every 6 months.) The second advantage is that for most people the lower bacteria levels mean that you can keep the filter for 12 months. The filter does however not function as a barrier for bacteria. This filter replaces the normal Generic External Fridge Filter.
Pressure Protection Valve
The plastic pressure protection valve will help to protect the filters from becoming damaged and/or leaking as a result of pressure spikes (also known as water hammering) from the incoming water supply.
