My Kingdom for a Filter!!

Today I changed the filter in our refrigerator. I always comment on how heavy the old filter is when I remove it. (Go ahead, ask my kids. They'll back me up.) Today I decided to weigh the two filters and see just how much stuff had been collected in the used one.

The new one weighed just under 12 ounces.

The old one weighed 24.75 ounces. More than twice the weight!

That's a big difference. I don't know what's being collected in the filter (and I probably don't want to know), but it sure makes me glad our refrigerator has one!
