Our verdict
Gpfilter suits households that already own a fridge or pitcher filter and only need the next refill. It ranks first of the brands compared here for running filter cost, at $27.99 a year in refills, and makes no claim about PFAS or lead.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Running filter cost of $27.99 a year places Gpfilter at 1 of 46 in the tracked set.
- Entry price of $32.99 puts a certified refrigerator filter within reach without an installed system.
- Installation required is no, so a cartridge swap needs no plumber and no tools.
- Refrigerator filters are certified by NSF International and IAPMO to NSF/ANSI 42 for materials and structural integrity.
Cons
- PFAS lead reduction is listed as no, so Gpfilter is not an answer for buyers filtering for contaminants.
- Shipping is listed for US only, a single market, so buyers elsewhere should start with Culligan Consumer Products or IBBL.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, with no phone line listed for anyone who prefers to talk it through.
- Warranty cover is 0.08 years, and the cartridge is a consumable replaced often, so longer cover would matter more here than on a fixed fixture.
Who it suits
- US households with a GE, Whirlpool or Everydrop fridge filter who want a cheap, tool-free swap and low running cost.
- Pitcher filter buyers who look for lead-free material certification alongside NSF/ANSI 42.
- Replacement-first shoppers who keep a filter model for years instead of upgrading systems.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want filtered water at the tap: Culligan Consumer Products and Waterdrop (EU) both sell reverse osmosis systems that plumb in, not refrigerator cartridges.
- Anyone buying on contaminant removal: Gpfilter's PFAS lead reduction is listed as no, and the reverse osmosis systems from Culligan Consumer Products and Waterdrop (EU) filter by a different principle.
Plans and prices
Gpfilter sells replacement cartridges rather than filtration systems, so the price to weigh up front and the price that repeats are different. Filters start at $32.99. The GlacialPure cartridge for GE RPWFE fridges is $41.99 a unit, and the same cartridge works out at $27.99 a year to keep filtering. The repeat spend is the refill, not a subscription, so $27.99 a year is the line to put in a household budget rather than the entry figure alone.
How it compares on our data
The spread across the tracked measures is wide. On running filter cost a year, Gpfilter sits at 1 of 46 brands, the strongest placement in the set. Entry price is less standout at 8 of 52, with cartridge price at 17 of 50. Cartridge life is the weakest column at 18 of 26, so buyers weighing litres per refill have more to think about than buyers weighing cost per year.
Core features
Capacity is the headline spec: the GlacialPure cartridge for GE RPWFE is rated to 1,135.6 litres, a modest figure next to larger cartridges. PFAS lead reduction is listed as no, so the range is not sold on contaminant removal. Installation required is no, so a swap needs no plumber and no tools. Warranty cover runs 0.08 years, which fits a consumable you expect to replace rather than a fixture you keep for years.
The company behind it
Behind the GlacialPure name sits SPARKIN HONG KONG LIMITED, registered in Hong Kong. Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so help comes as a help centre, live chat and email rather than a phone line. That combination suits a buyer who tracks orders and swaps cartridges themselves, and less so anyone who wants a technician on the line.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Gpfilter cartridge cost?+
The GlacialPure cartridge for GE RPWFE fridges is $41.99, and the same cartridge works out at $27.99 a year to keep filtering. Filters across the range start at $32.99. The repeat cost is the refill itself, since Gpfilter sells cartridges rather than subscriptions.
How long does a Gpfilter filter last?+
The rated capacity is 1,135.6 litres for the GlacialPure cartridge for GE RPWFE, a smaller figure than the site median of 2,512.5 litres. Households filtering a lot of water will order refills sooner than the median filter allows.
Does Gpfilter remove PFAS or lead?+
PFAS lead reduction is listed as no, so Gpfilter does not claim contaminant removal. The certification scope matters more: NSF/ANSI 42 for materials and structural integrity on refrigerator and pitcher filters, added NSF certification for lead-free materials on the pitcher filters, and NSF International and IAPMO certification for refrigerator filters.
Which fridges do Gpfilter filters fit?+
The range covers the main refrigerator cartridges people already own: a GlacialPure cartridge for GE RPWFE, a GlacialPure cartridge for GE XWFE, and replacements for Whirlpool and Everydrop refrigerator filters, across both the standard and the higher capacity Whirlpool models.
Do I need an installer to fit a Gpfilter filter?+
Installation required is no. The range is refrigerator and pitcher replacement cartridges, so a swap needs no plumber, no tools and nothing plumbed in. That is the appeal here: filtering stays a simple kitchen job rather than an install.
Where does Gpfilter ship and how do I get help?+
Shipping is listed for US only, a single market. Support runs on email, chat and help centre, so a help centre, live chat and email are the routes in. Warranty cover runs 0.08 years, which is short for a brand selling a consumable.
How does Gpfilter compare with Culligan or Waterdrop?+
Different job. Gpfilter refills a fridge or pitcher cartridge, while Culligan Consumer Products sells Aquasential reverse osmosis and under-sink systems, and Waterdrop (EU) sells X Series reverse osmosis systems. IBBL adds purifiers with compressors. Pick Gpfilter for a cheap certified swap, the others for a fixed system.
Is Gpfilter the cheapest filter brand to keep running?+
On the tracked measures, running filter cost a year places Gpfilter at 1 of 46, while cartridge life sits at 18 of 26. Cheap per year and long life pull in opposite directions, and this brand leans on cost.
