Pureline DA29-00020B Samsung Refrigerator Water Filter Replacement, Replacement for DA29-00020A/B, HAF-CIN/EXP, HAF-CIN,DA97-08006A, Kenmore 46-9101, 469101, 9101 Refrigerator Filter (2 Pack)

I was going to give this filter a poor review, when I initially pulled out the old filter and replaced with the Pureline, I had a water leak. Then I watch a Youtube video on replacing the filter and realized I hadn't turned off the supply and drained the water in the fridge to relieve the pressure prior to installing the filter. I'm guess this caused an air gap, or some other pressure difference that didn't allow the O-ring to seat correctly. After turning off the water, draining the water/pressure, removing the old filter, installing the new and turning the water back on, the filer sputtered for a few minutes, then worked great, with no leaks.

We bought this filter model to replace our Samsung French-Door Fridge's water filter which uses filters compatible with Samsung filter model DA29-00020B. In reality, as the photo of the box shows, there are a great many filter model numbers and makes that are all really the same.We went with aftermarket filters simply because a Samsung 2-pack is over $110. We bought this 2-pack for less than 1/3 that cost. Our previous aftermarket filters were made by Aqua Fresh and were very happy with them but no longer seem to be listed. This alternative looked the same and worked just as well as the Samsung and Aqua Fresh units. It installed very easily, fit perfectly, and didn't leak.After running the requisite 3+ gallons of water through the filter to flush out any renegade charcoal sediment, we tasted it. It tasted just the same as if it came straight form our well but without sediment or various tasteless impurities that most osmotic charcoal filters remove.If nothing changes - no leaks and such - we're sure to order again. All-in-all, a great buy. I've attached a photo of the the box, installed date stickers and a magnetic install date badge they include for the side of the fridge - a nice tiny extra.Regarding the many comments about leaky filters of this type, I suspect at least some of them may be do to a little confusion over how they need to be tightened when installed. Simply put, the installation of these filter types can be misleading. When inserting them into their receptacle, you turn clockwise quite a ways and they then "seem" to be fully seated and tight. HOWEVER, they have to be turned another 30-45 degrees after that first friction point to reach full lock position. On the Samsung French Door models, at least, a fully seated and locked filter will have the install handle perfectly vertical. I'm not saying that all leaky filters reports aren't due to faulty filters - but some of those reports may be due to the issue I just outlined.Enjoy.

Easy to install. Comes with pre-printed months stickers to remember when it was replaced.

I used this as a replacement water filter in my Samsung refrigerator when my “change filter light“ came on. I had a little difficulty removing it because of arthritis in my hand, but my cleaning gal was glad to help out. It seems to work terrific. I plan to order from you again after my two pack runs out.

We’ve been using these filters for several years. They fit perfectly in our Samsung fridge and are completely compatible with the much more expensive name brand. . We’ve never had a problem with leakage, and our water always tastes great. We will continue to purchase them.
