Waterdrop LT1000PC ADQ747935 Refrigerator Water Filter and Air Filter, Replacement for LG® LT1000P®, LMXS28626S, LFXS26973S, LFXS26596S, LFXS28596S, ADQ74793501, ADQ74793502 and…

I was looking to replace the original filter for a dupe and came across this package and decide to give it a try. I am glad that I made the purchase because it was worth it. The instructions were easy to follow and I was able to install/ replace the filter within 10 mins. The first couple water that came out was a little dark like cloudy from the fridge, I had to dump out the water a few times to get it clear and did a water taste to see if it was ok to drink. Overall after a couple of washes/rinse I was able to get fresh drinking water from the fridge. Glad it came in 3 pack and I able to change my filter for 1.5 years without buying another kit.

As advertised…will use again!!

My water tastes so much better . Thank you and easy to install.

Brand new LG model LRMVC2306S refrigerator that takes filter number ADQ747935 (LT-1000P). I’ll admit I was very hesitant to purchase any aftermarket filter for LG after reading numerous reviews about the plastic mount in the refrigerator getting damaged. I’ve included three photos. Notice that the photo of the mounting of these Waterdrop filters I received at the end of Feb 2023 do not look the same as the ones in the bad reviews. However, also notice how different the mounting looks from my original LG filter. I have included a photo of the refrigerator mounting fixture so you can see that the new design IS compatible with the refrigerator after all. It’s properly keyed where the mounting half-moon shaped pins fit perfectly into the holes and mates without issue. The plastic tab across the middle also fits perfectly into a slot on the mount. All that matters is that the two half-moon shaped keys fit down into the filter neck WHEN the outer neck tabs are aligned. I did NOT need to make any modifications or use any tools to rotate the inner mount. Everything lined up perfectly and worked properly on the first try.

Align the tabs, push in while rotating CW, and then you should hear a brief little whoosh. It’s not the sound of breaking plastic… it’s the sound of the valve releasing and letting water pressure into the new filter. Immediately dispense water and you should get a lot of air purging out if everything is connected and working. I only had air for 5 or 10 seconds, but purged and dumped more than a gallon of water.

My original LG filter lasted only 90 days even though it’s rated for 200 gallons. That’s pretty terrible considering LG wants more than $50 for it. But It’s not a surprise since this filter is very small compared to other similar brands like Samsung. The filter in my Samsung, which was 2x larger, always lasted 6 months, both the Samsung and the Waterdrop brand. After 90 days, my LG water started smelling like rotten eggs. I suppose this has to do with overall incoming water quality. I popped in this Waterdrop filter; the smell is gone and the taste is good. At this price I do not mind changing them every 90 days, and some day I may install an RO system and remove the need for a filter in the LG altogether.

Since it’s only been 90 days, I did not change the air filter. However, the included air filters appear to be as good as OEM. It’s hard to judge this as I do not normally have refrigerators odors.

Filter Change Indicator Light: People really seem to be confused by this. They believe that the refrigerator knows when a filter is bad and/or knows when it’s been changed. It does not. The indicator light is merely a 6-month timer. After 6-months, the light comes on even if your filter is still good. In my case, my filter went bad after only 3 months so I never got an indicator light. When the light comes on, and after you change the filter, you must MANUALLY reset the light. Follow the instructions to reset and the light will stay off for the next 6 months. For me, I followed the reset procedure anyway. Either it worked and I won’t see the light for 6 more months, or it did nothing and I still have 3 months left on the original timer. Since I have a separate Air filter indicator light that I did not touch, I will either get both lights on the same day or I won’t. I will EDIT this review as I learn more.

EDIT: That day came. It’s been 6 months since I’ve installed the new fridge. The “Change Air Filter” indicator light came on as expected. But since it’s only been 3 months since I “reset” the water filter timer, I did not get the 6-month “Change Water Filter” indicator. This is good because it’s only been 3 months since I installed the water filter and the water still tastes good. I expect another 3 months before the “Change Water Filter” indicator comes on.

Product as advertised fit perfectly and is working fine. Great Price for a three pack. With both air and water filters. Bought 3 thinking only one per package now have 9. Will buy again but it might be awhile with 9 filters Great Value!!!
