You’ve made an excellent decision for cleaner, fresher-tasting water straight from your refrigerator. However, before you fill your glass, it’s important to prepare your filter properly to ensure optimal performance.
A common question that arises with a new refrigerator filter is: How many ounces of water should you run through it before regular use? Let’s explore this topic to help you get the most out of your new filter.
Why You Should Flush Your New Filter
Flushing your new refrigerator filter is crucial for a couple of reasons. First, it helps eliminate any residual carbon dust or loose particles that may be present from the manufacturing process. Second, it ensures that the filter is correctly seated and fully saturated, allowing for optimal water flow and filtration.
Recommended Water Amount for Flushing
While the exact amount of water to flush can vary depending on the filter model and manufacturer’s instructions, a good general guideline is to run at least two to three gallons (64 to 96 ounces) of water through your new Bluaqua BL-Filter1. This will help clear out any impurities and prepare the filter for regular use.

Install the New Filter:
Insert the Bluaqua BL-Filter1 into the designated slot in your refrigerator, following the manufacturer’s instructions to make sure it’s securely in place.
Run the Water:
Dispense water from the refrigerator’s water dispenser continuously for several minutes. Discard this initial water to flush out any loose particles or air bubbles that may be present.
Check for Leaks:
As you flush the filter, keep an eye out for any leaks or drips from the filter housing. If you notice any leaks, double-check the installation to ensure the filter is properly seated.
Monitor Water Quality:
After flushing the filter, taste the water to ensure it’s clean and free from any unusual odors or flavors. If you detect any issues, continue flushing until the water runs clear and tastes fresh.
