• NSF Certified Filtration: Tested to NSF 42 and NSF 372 standards, providing verified reduction of chlorine, taste and odor while retaining essential minerals.
• Premium Carbon Block: Made from Sri Lankan coconut shell carbon to capture suspended particles and improve water flavor without stripping beneficial minerals.
• Three-Pack Value: Sold as a set of three filters to cover multiple 6-month intervals or several family members' needs at a lower per-filter cost.

Who It's For

This filter set is ideal for owners of Samsung refrigerators listed in the product description who want certified contaminant reduction and improved taste without the OEM price. It suits families and individuals who use their dispenser daily and prefer to change filters on a six-month schedule or after roughly 316 gallons of use.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of models not listed, especially units requiring DA29-00020B (HAF-CIN), or buyers who require a factory-branded part number for warranty reasons. This is a compatible replacement part offered by a third-party brand, not the factory original.
