We recommend replacing your GlacierFresh water filter every 2-3 months for optimal filtered water quality, depending on your tap water quality and daily usage. Most GlacierFresh filters are designed to filter approximately 40 gallons of water before needing replacement. If you use your glass water pitcher daily or have heavily chlorinated tap water, you may need to replace the filter cartridge more frequently. We'll send you convenient reminders when it's time to order a replacement filter, ensuring your water pitcher always delivers fresh, clean drinking water.

Our advanced water filtration system effectively reduces chlorine, sediment, odors, and improves the taste of your tap water. The GlacierFresh filter is specifically designed to remove common tap water impurities while retaining beneficial minerals for healthier drinking water. Our chlorine removal technology significantly reduces chlorine taste and odor, transforming ordinary tap water into fresh, clean filtered water. The filter cartridge also helps reduce other common contaminants found in municipal water supplies.
