ICEPURE PLUS 5231JA2006A Refrigerator Water Filter Replacement - NSF

In this review the ICEPURE PLUS 5231JA2006A cartridge is evaluated as a budget-friendly replacement for compatible refrigerators; it is best for households that want certified contaminant reduction and OEM-like taste without buying brand-name-priced refills. The single biggest reason to buy is its authoritative certifications and food-grade materials, which promise safer chilled drinking water while saving on bottled water costs. Installation and use are straightforward, and customers report the filter delivers clear, good-tasting water for everyday fridge use.

Key Features

• NSF/ANSI Certified: Certified to NSF/ANSI 53 and 42 so the filter reduces health-related contaminants and improves taste and odor.
• Lead-free construction: Made under NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 and European food grade rules, which helps keep lead exposure from filtered water to a minimum.
• Premium activated carbon: Uses top coconut shell activated carbon to cut chlorine taste and odor for cleaner, more neutral-tasting water.
• BPA-free and compliant: BPA-free food-grade plastic and compliance with ROHS and REACH reduce chemical concerns in contact with drinking water.
• Quality manufacturing: Produced under ISO9001 and ISO14000 quality systems with additional TUV and Australian Water Mark recognition for consistent build standards.
• Cost-efficient pack: Sold as a multi-pack option to lower per-filter cost and reduce dependence on bottled water over time.

Who It's For

This filter is ideal for families and renters who own LG or Kenmore refrigerators and want a certified, food-grade replacement that matches OEM taste and performance while cutting ongoing costs. It suits users who prioritize safety certifications such as NSF/ANSI 53 and 42 and want the reassurance of ISO-managed production.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers needing filters for under-sink or whole-house systems, or users who require a lifetime warranty or proprietary smart monitoring features; ICEPURE is a standard replacement cartridge focused on fit, contamination reduction, and value rather than advanced electronics or system-wide filtration.

Cons
