Why Choose the Genuine Samsung HAFCU1 Filter?
NSF 42 and 53 Filtration
The Samsung DA29-00003G refrigerator filter is tested against NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53.
Its listed reduction claims include:
- Chlorine taste and odor

- Lead
- Mercury
- Cysts
- Turbidity
- Asbestos
- Benzene
- Carbofuran

Filtration performance can vary depending on incoming water quality, water pressure, household usage and timely filter replacement.
Fresher-Tasting Water and Ice
Chlorine and other substances in tap water can affect the taste and smell of refrigerator water. The Samsung HAFCU1 helps reduce unwanted chlorine taste and odor before the water reaches your dispenser or ice maker.
This supports better-tasting:
- Drinking water
- Refrigerator ice
- Cold beverages
- Coffee and tea prepared with filtered water
Genuine Samsung Replacement Cartridge
This is a genuine Samsung refrigerator filter designed to work with compatible HAFCU1 filter housings. The cartridge uses Samsung’s intended connection design and dimensions for supported refrigerator models.
Samsung updated the HAF-CU1 locking design from two ribs to three ribs. The newer genuine filter is still designed to fit compatible older refrigerators, although the housing may need to be turned fully to the unlocked position during the first replacement.
Easy Twist-Lock Installation
The DA29-00003G uses a quarter-turn installation system. No plumbing modifications or special tools are normally required.
Turn the old cartridge counterclockwise to release it, insert the new filter and rotate it clockwise until the locked symbol aligns with the housing indicator.
Up to 300-Gallon Filter Capacity
The Samsung HAFCU1 has a rated capacity of up to 300 gallons. Samsung recommends replacing refrigerator water filters approximately every six months.
Replace the filter sooner when:
- Water flow becomes noticeably slower
- Chlorine taste or odor returns
- The filter indicator turns red
- The cartridge reaches its rated capacity
- Your refrigerator manual recommends an earlier change

Important Three-Rib Filter Note
Newer genuine Samsung HAFCU1 filters may have a three-rib locking design instead of the older two-rib design.
The updated filter is intended to fit compatible older housings. When it does not insert easily, the old cartridge may not have fully opened the housing’s locking mechanism. Turn the old filter completely toward the unlocked position before removing it, then install the new cartridge.
Do not force the filter into the housing.
