Is this one of those American things, or am I just ignorant?
I've never changed, or heard about changing a water filter in the fridge ๐ค๐ตโ๐ซ sounds like I'm living a unclean life..
It really is weird. I guess from other comments that this is something about those fancy and expensive fridges that no normal people have with water dispenser on the door and ice sometimes... Maybe?
I do like that my countries tap water is perfectly drinkable/inflammable. I have no need for such fridges.
Just fyi inflammable means flammable .

Inflammable is something that can be inflamed
But in case anyone was at risk of thinking they understood the logic of the English language, flammable also means inflammable, so good luck.
Most of North America, the tap water is perfectly drinkable; but it can still be improved with extra filtration.
These also provide water colder than a tap can.
To be clear, very much a luxury item, not a necessity in any way. They've just become quite common over here.
The filters are also particulate filters; they won't do much if your water is actually considered unhealthy due to bacterial contamination/you're on a boil water notice.
