Tier1 ADQ36006101 Refrigerator Water Filter 6-pk - Reliable

In this review of the Tier1 ADQ36006101 refrigerator water filter 6-pk, the bottom line is straightforward: this pack is aimed at owners of compatible LG and Kenmore refrigerators who want a cost-effective replacement that matches OEM fit and basic performance. The reviewer found the biggest reason to buy is the combination of easy installation and certified filtration using coconut shell activated carbon, which reduces chlorine taste and odor while matching common OEM model numbers. It is a practical choice for routine filter replacement every six months.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits a long list of OEM model numbers such as LT700P, ADQ36006101, and 46-9690 so users can replace their original cartridge without adapter parts.
• Filtration media: Uses coconut shell activated carbon to block and reduce chlorine taste and odor, rust, sediment and turbidity for clearer tasting water.
• Certified performance: Conforms to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 and 372, providing reassurance about materials safety and structural integrity.
• Service life: Recommended replacement every six months or 300 gallons and the package includes a sticker to track the service interval.
• Flow rate: Delivers water at about 0.5 gpm, adequate for fridge dispensers and ice maker filling without excessive slowdown.
• Value pack: Six cartridges offer sizeable savings versus single OEM filters while keeping a fresh spare on hand for scheduled changes.

Who It's For

This pack is best for homeowners or renters with LG or Kenmore fridges that list LT700P, ADQ36006101/02, or equivalent model numbers, and who prioritize a direct-fit replacement and lower ongoing cost. It also suits people who prefer the predictable maintenance cadence of changing a cartridge every six months and want NSF/ANSI 42 and 372 conformity.

Shoppers who need advanced multi-stage filtration beyond activated carbon, or who want engineered reduction claims for specific contaminants not listed here, should consider higher-end cartridges with additional certified reductions. Those who have experienced persistent taste or leakage with aftermarket cartridges should check fit and seals carefully before buying in bulk.
