Owning a refrigerator with an inbuilt ice and water dispensing system is one of the most practical additions to any modern kitchen. It is an easy and time-effective way to make ice, and a great way to encourage healthy drinking habits for families. It is important to remember however that without adequate, ongoing maintenance and care, the quality of ice and water produced will gradually deteriorate over time.

To answer the question of whether you need a water filter, it's important to understand how they work, which we've covered in this blog post.
