Can you find a supplier of comparable quality refrigerator brand filters?
If you've ever replaced a refrigerator filter, then you should know that an original refrigerator filter doesn't come cheap, and can even cost as much as $60. According to research, a refrigerator can be used for about 12 years under normal circumstances. According to the standard of replacing the filter element of the refrigerator filter every 6 months, the cost will reach 85% of a refrigerator.
The high cost of original refrigerator filters has led many consumers to look around for better priced replacement filters. The crux of the problem is that the quality of various replacement refrigerator filters on the market is uneven, and some unscrupulous merchants use unsafe materials to produce refrigerator filters in order to seek profits.
Here, dealers or retailers are advised to purchase refrigerator filters from an industry-certified source factory. The industry's minimum standard for refrigerator filters is NSF42--removes residual chlorine in water, improves taste and odor. Some factories have gradually passed this standard, but such refrigerator filters cannot be compared with those of refrigerator brands in the market. When choosing a cooperative factory, it is the responsibility of the dealer to strictly control the quality of the factory's products.
Bestpure is a Chinese manufacturer of water purifiers and their filter cartridges, located in Tianjin, China. The factory was established in 2001, and today, it has 21 years of related experience in the water purification industry, and a 15-person R&D team is always ready to customize products. The most important thing is that Bestpure has the most authoritative and comprehensive product certification. Compared with the replacement refrigerator filter of other factories, BestPure is the filter closest to the brand refrigerator.
There are three standards that apply to refrigerator filters, set by NSF International (which itself is accredited by the American National Standards Institute, or ANSI): NSF/ANSI 42, 53, and 401. Here’s how to make sense of them:
- 42 covers material safety, which guarantees the physical components of the filter won’t leach contaminants such as arsenic into your water and ice. This is also the standard to look for if you want to remove chlorine, taste, and odors.
- 53 covers a hodge-podge of health-related contaminants that includes everything from lead to parasites to asbestos.
- 401 covers trace pharmaceuticals and chemicals, from ibuprofen to BPA to deet.
There are three large agencies that certify refrigerator filters to these standards and allow BestPure to put the certification logo on refrigerator filters and packaging (please note that BestPure is a water purifier manufacturer, not a water purifier brand). Refrigerator filters produced by BestPure are exported to distributor countries in large quantities, and the price of buying refrigerator filters in bulk is 20% lower than that of other suppliers in the wholesale market.
For dealers or retailers, it is very important to find a very reliable factory supplier. It not only plays a key role in establishing your own brand, but also determines whether more old customers will visit your store or even promote it for your products.
