FRIGIDAIRE EPTWFU01 PureSource Ultra II Refrigerator Water Filter, 1 Count, White
The Frigidaire EPTWFU01 PureSource Ultra II is a white, in-refrigerator water filter designed for compatible Frigidaire refrigerator models. It uses extruded carbon block filter media and is intended to support fresh-tasting water and ice from the refrigerator dispenser.
Overview
This one-count Frigidaire Genuine Filter is model EPTWFU01. The manufacturer states that it reduces up to 99% of contaminants and helps reduce chlorine taste and odor, along with impurities such as lead, nitrates, and mercury.
The filter measures 2 inches deep by 2 inches wide by 9 inches high and weighs 7.36 ounces. It is NSF certified to NSF 42, NSF 53, and NSF 401 standards, and it is also certified by the Water Quality Association to WQA/ASPE/ANSI S 803 for sustainability.
Key Features
The PureSource Ultra II uses carbon-based, extruded carbon block filter media. Frigidaire describes it as reducing aesthetic impurities, contaminants with health effects, and one or more of 15 emerging contaminants under its listed NSF certifications.
Its push-and-twist design is made for in-refrigerator installation. Frigidaire identifies berry-colored packaging and a Genuine Filters seal as indicators for identifying an authentic Frigidaire filter.
Real-World Performance
Customer feedback generally reports that the filter works well in compatible Frigidaire refrigerators, with positive comments about water and ice quality. Functionality feedback is not uniform, however, and some customers report that the refrigerator filter indicator remains on after replacement.
Because filtration results and refrigerator behavior can vary with the appliance and incoming water, confirming that EPTWFU01 is the correct filter for the refrigerator model is an important first step.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
Installation is described as a push-and-twist process: turn the old filter 90 degrees counterclockwise and pull it toward you. To install the replacement, align it with the grip horizontal, push firmly, and turn it 90 degrees to the right until it clicks.
Frigidaire notes that the refrigerator reminder light does not reset automatically. For most units, the stated reset method is to press and hold the Water Filter button on the dispenser control for 3 seconds, until the display changes from red to green. Customers frequently describe installation as straightforward.
Pros and Trade-Offs
Pros include Frigidaire-specific compatibility, carbon block filter media, push-and-twist installation, and NSF and WQA certifications. The filter is also designed to address chlorine taste and odor as well as selected common tap-water impurities.
The main consideration is fit: this cartridge is intended only for listed compatible refrigerator models. Users should verify their refrigerator’s model number before installation. Also, the filter-status light may require a manual reset after replacement.
Who This Product Is For
This filter is for owners of compatible Frigidaire refrigerators who need the PureSource Ultra II EPTWFU01 replacement cartridge. Compatible models include FRFG1723AV, GRQC2255AF, PRMC2285AF, and numerous FF, FG, FP, LF, and LG-series Frigidaire models listed by the manufacturer.
It is especially suitable for users seeking a genuine Frigidaire in-refrigerator filter with a compact cartridge format and a push-and-twist replacement process.
