Which filter removes more contaminants?

Filter 3 (EDR3RXD1) is certified for 73 contaminants; Filter 1 is certified for 28. Both cover lead, pesticides and pharmaceuticals under NSF 42, 53 and 401.

Can I use filter 3 in a fridge that takes filter 1?

No. The two filters have different housings and sizes, 13.5 inches tall versus 7.5 inches. Match the number on your old filter or in your refrigerator manual.

How often do I replace either filter?

Every 6 months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first. Both filters share the same 200-gallon capacity.

Is filter 3 worth the price over filter 1?

It is $24.99 at eBay versus $29.99 at Pure Nature on November 5, 2026, so it is cheaper and covers more. The catch is fit: only buy it if your fridge takes filter 3.

Why do some buyers report bad-tasting water?

Reviewers of both filters report early failures, residue and counterfeit units from third-party sellers. Buy from a seller you trust and flush a few gallons before drinking.

Do these filters fit Maytag and KitchenAid refrigerators?

Yes. EveryDrop is the only filter brand approved by Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid and JennAir, but the filter number still has to match your model.
