Why Choose the Bosch BORPLFTR50/ BORPLFTR55 Water Filter?

The Bosch UltraClarity Pro BORPLFTR50 is the genuine OEM water filter engineered specifically for Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau refrigerators built on the shared BSH platform. A common question buyers ask is "Is BORPLFTR50 the same as BORPLFTR55?" — the answer is yes: BORPLFTR55 is simply the newer part number for the identical filter, so either one works in your fridge. Unlike unbranded compatible cartridges, this genuine filter is made to Bosch's exact specifications, helping you avoid the leaks or poor fit that often come with off-brand alternatives.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between BORPLFTR50 and BORPLFTR55?

Nothing functionally — they're the same UltraClarity Pro filter. BORPLFTR55 is simply the newer part number that replaced BORPLFTR50 in Bosch's catalog, and the two are fully interchangeable.

2. How do I install the BORPLFTR50 filter in my Bosch refrigerator?

Open the filter cover, usually in the top-right corner inside the fridge, and turn the old filter counterclockwise to release it. Insert the new filter and turn clockwise until it locks into place. Run a few gallons of water through the dispenser afterward to flush out carbon fines before drinking.

3. Is this a genuine Bosch part, or a compatible replacement?

This listing is the genuine Bosch OEM UltraClarity Pro filter, not a generic substitute, so you get the exact fit and filtration performance Bosch designed for your refrigerator.

4. How often should I replace the BORPLFTR50 filter?

Bosch recommends replacing it about every 6 months, or sooner if your refrigerator's filter indicator light comes on or you notice reduced water flow.

5. Will BORPLFTR50 fit my Thermador or Gaggenau refrigerator?

Yes, on select models. Because Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau share the same filter housing platform, BORPLFTR50 also replaces Thermador's REPLFLTR55 and Gaggenau's RA450022 on compatible units. Check your existing filter's part number to confirm before ordering.
