What is the difference between the 5231JA2002A & the 5231JA2002A-2?

LG orginally had one manufacturer(Aqua Pure) make there filter under a patent. As the patent has now finished other manufacturers have been licensed to manufacture this filter. The '-2' series is a USA made filter made to the same standards and offers a slightly better price.

What is the benefit of having a water filter in my fridge?

The 5231JA2002A-2 removes the following impurities from your drinking water:

• 92% of Chlorine, 96% of rust, dirt, sand, and sediment. (5 to 15 microns in size).
•  It provides better tasting and smelling water with improved clarity.
• The 5231JA2002A-2 does NOT remove Fluoride.

Changing the filter regularly in your ice/water refrigerator also reduces the build-up of scale in your ice-making mechanism thereby reducing the need for costly services.
