      Any fridge with an ice maker or water dispenser will have a built in filter that needs replaced yearly. Almost nobody does.

        That makes sense. I had never heard of a fridge with an ice maker or water dispenser before

        Oh… That’s the meaning of this meme. I never seen a fridge this a water dispenser. I didn’t knew it was a thing.

          Yeah, I was really confused why my fridge would have a water filter, let alone why it would dispense things.

            I don’t think I even see this in movies. I’ve saw those weird ice dispenser but I don’t remember seeing water dispenser. Strange things that even fridge changes so much across the world.

        Really depends on the filter too. There’s a huge difference between a plastic mesh filter with some activated carbon in a fridge line vs a whole house RO setup.

      There’s indeed less waste involved this way. But not everywhere you go in the world, has good drinking water from the tap. Water filters are at times, a continual necessity.

    We’ve had this issue recently on our fridge where it’s dispensing water with occasional bio film in it… how do you completely clean the waterlines in a fridge lol
