Whirlpool WHER25 Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System Filter Dissection-WHEERM
In this video I will dissect the sealed filters that are used in the WHER25 Reverse Osmosis system. This will focus on the WHEERM.
Both filters have two different change intervals:
WHEERF: Every 6 months
WHEERM: every 12 months
In this video, the WHEERF was changed at 6 months and the WHEERM was changed earlier than needed (6 months).
As you can see, there are a lot of plastic chards from me using a Saws all to open up the sealed containers. Please do not think those were loosely in the filter. The WHEERF seemed to be ready for a change and as expected, the WHEERM had 6 months life left upon inspection. All and all the filters seem solid and the replacement process was simple.
Side note: For anyone who ever has a leak with one of these systems (or any reverse osmosis under sink system) always remember that your drain hose should not have a kink or āUā shape going into the drain pipe. It causes back pressure, especially when your waste hose starts to get dirty and cause the faucet to leak. This can create a false defect of the unit with you thinking its broken when in reality it is human error.
