Hi Angie, Thank you for reaching out, and we hope you are in good health. We appreciate your interest in Samsung home appliances, specifically Samsung water filters. Most Samsung water and ice dispensers will work without an AquaPure water filter installed. The water filter housings are designed as rotary valves that allow the water to bypass the water filter whenever there is no filter or the filter is not in the locked position. We recommend that you replace the water filter every six months. The refrigerator's water filter light will let you know when those six months are up and should be reset after changing the filter. The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) have various standards to identify what is filtered by a water filter. Samsung's water filters are Carbon Filters rated for the NSF/ANSI 42, NSF/ANSI 53, and NSF/ANSI 401 standards. With this being said, I have shared below what is being filtered. Asbestos, Atrazine, Benzene, 2, 4-D, Carbofuran, Chlorbenzene, Cyst (99.99%), Endrin, Ethylbenzene, Lead, Lindane, Mercury, O-Dichlorobenzene, P-Dichlorobenzene, Tetrachloroethylene, Toxaphene, Turbidity, Atenolol, Bisphenol A, Carbamazepine, DEET, Estrone, Linuron, Nonylphenol, Phenytoin, Trimethoprim. I have shared as well the Samsung link that gives you most of the information on our Samsung water filters (identify and replace the filter, and reset the water filter light). Replace the water filter in your Samsung refrigerator https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00060149/ We recommend that you only purchase and use Samsung water filters for your Samsung refrigerator.
