Why this filter
What it filters
Independent certification confirms that this filter, when used in the listed system DA97-08006C, reduces lead and mercury, among other listed substances. That does not mean it removes everything or guarantees safe tap water. Open the test details below for the full list and limits.
Which system these results apply to
These test results apply only when used in DA97-08006C. They cover the filter and system together, not the filter on its own. Confirm your installed system before relying on these results.
How this compares
This is a checked replacement, not a Best Overall or Best Value winner yet. Before choosing a winner, we need other filters we can trust, a fair comparison of how they work and how reliable they are, and current prices including shipping.
Filtration tests and details
These records explain which filter results we have checked and what their limits are. The same certification name does not mean two filters work equally well.
Standards used in these tests
The listings use NSF/ANSI 42, NSF/ANSI 53, NSF/ANSI 401. A shared standard name does not mean two filters reduce the same substances or have the same tested capacity or performance.
How the certification identifies this filter
This filter is shown here as HAF-QIN/EXP. The certification listing uses DA97-08006C. Reviewed model-mapping evidence connects that certified identity to this product; matching brand names or retailer titles alone would not establish this connection.
What we have verified about filtration
NSF's independent listing for certified model DA97-08006C certifies reduction of 2,4-d, asbestos, atrazine, benzene, carbofuran, chlorobenzene, cysts, endrin, ethylbenzene, lead, lindane, mercury, o-dichlorobenzene, p-dichlorobenzene, tetrachloroethylene, toxaphene, turbidity under NSF/ANSI 53, a standard covering specific health-related contaminant reductions. This means reduction under the certification's test conditions—not removal of every contaminant or a guarantee about your tap water. Certification establishes verified capabilities; it does not establish superiority over another filter.
Chlorine, chloramine and particles
The exact-model NSF/ANSI 42 listing certifies reduction of chlorine, fine particles (Particulate Class I), taste and odor. These are separate verified capabilities from the health-related reductions above; a generic certification logo alone would not tell us which of them an alternative filter provides.
Additional verified reductions
The exact-model NSF/ANSI 401 listing certifies reduction of the following 15 listed substances or particles: Atenolol, bisphenol A (BPA), Carbamazepine, DEET, Estrone, Ibuprofen, Linuron, Meprobamate, Metolachlor, Naproxen, Nonylphenol, Phenytoin, TCEP, TCPP, Trimethoprim. This is a defined list—not a claim to remove every trace chemical or particle. An alternative must be checked against its own exact-model list before we can describe its coverage as equivalent.

Installation and care
Installing the replacement
Check the model number on your old filter and use your refrigerator manual to locate it. Turn off the water supply. Twist the old filter counterclockwise to remove it. Remove the new filter’s protective cap, insert it, and turn clockwise until locked. Align the lock symbol with the indicator line. Follow your refrigerator’s own instructions to reset the light.
Caring for the filters
Samsung recommends replacement every six months. The reminder light is a six-month timer, not a measurement of filter condition. A noticeable change in water flow can mean replacement is needed sooner. Reset instructions vary by refrigerator; use the instructions for your model.
