Hello
The water filter change light came on in our new refrigerator and all I did was open the compartment that holds the water filter and closed the compartment and the change light went off! Is this change light on a 6 month timer? New filters are $45.00 Same filter as a whirlpool Brand. We only had the refrigerator for 6 months! Fridge is a KitchenAid.
Will the filter actually last much longer? We have good water, can I use it without a filter?
According to this water filter ad, the filters should last 5 years not 6 months! See pic 2
Should I just buy the bypass, which would be better than having a dirty filter in there?

The last option is to get the bypass cap and then buy the much cheaper inline filter at Home Depot?
