Genuine Samsung DA29-00020B HAF-CIN/EXP Refrigerator Water Filter
Replace your used refrigerator filter with the genuine Samsung DA29-00020B HAF-CIN/EXP water filter. Designed for compatible Samsung French-door and side-by-side refrigerators, this original replacement cartridge helps reduce chlorine taste and odor, lead, mercury, cysts, particulates and selected emerging contaminants.
The Samsung HAF-CIN filter provides certified filtration for refrigerator drinking water and ice while maintaining the correct connection and twist-lock design for supported Samsung filter housings.
Why Choose the Samsung DA29-00020B Water Filter?
Certified to NSF 42, 53 and 401 Standards
The genuine Samsung DA29-00020B is tested and certified against NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 and 401 for the specific substances listed in its performance data sheet.
These standards cover three important areas:
- NSF 42 addresses aesthetic effects such as chlorine taste, odor and particulates.
- NSF 53 covers selected health-related contaminants, including lead, mercury, cysts and asbestos.
- NSF 401 covers selected emerging compounds found at trace levels in some water supplies.
Certification applies only to the listed reduction claims and does not mean that the filter removes every possible contaminant.
Reduces Selected Pharmaceuticals and Emerging Compounds
The HAF-CIN performance data includes certified reduction claims for selected emerging compounds such as:
- Atenolol
- Carbamazepine
- Phenytoin
- Trimethoprim
- Estrone
- Bisphenol A
- DEET
- Linuron
- Nonylphenol
This makes NSF 401 certification a useful distinction from basic filters that are certified only for chlorine taste and odor.
The filter should not be described as removing all pharmaceuticals. Its certification applies specifically to the compounds listed in the official performance data.
Better-Tasting Refrigerator Water and Ice
Chlorine and other substances in incoming tap water can affect the taste and smell of refrigerator water. The DA29-00020B helps reduce unwanted chlorine taste and odor before water reaches your dispenser or ice maker.
This supports fresher-tasting:
- Refrigerator drinking water
- Ice cubes
- Cold beverages
- Coffee and tea prepared with filtered water
Genuine Samsung HAF-CIN Replacement
This is a genuine Samsung replacement filter manufactured for compatible HAF-CIN refrigerator filtration systems.
Its cartridge dimensions, O-rings and quarter-turn connection are designed for supported Samsung filter housings. Always verify the filter number and refrigerator model before ordering because Samsung uses several cartridge styles that are not interchangeable.
Up to 300 Gallons of Filter Life
The Samsung DA29-00020B has a rated capacity of up to 300 gallons. Under normal household use, Samsung recommends replacing refrigerator water filters approximately every six months.
Replace the cartridge sooner when:
- The filter indicator turns red
- Refrigerator water develops an unusual taste or odor
- Dispenser flow becomes noticeably slower
- The filter reaches its 300-gallon capacity
- Your refrigerator manual recommends an earlier change
Actual filter life depends on household consumption, incoming water quality and local water conditions.
Certified Reduction Performance
The official performance data lists reduction claims for a broad range of substances, including:
- Chlorine taste and odor
- Class I particulates
- Asbestos
- Atrazine
- Benzene
- Carbofuran
- Chlorobenzene
- Cysts
- Lead
- Mercury
- Lindane
- 2,4-D
- Dichlorobenzene
- Tetrachloroethylene
- Toxaphene
- Turbidity
- Selected NSF 401 emerging compounds
The filter is tested for Class I particulates measuring from 0.5 to less than 1 micron. This is not the same as advertising the cartridge with an absolute 0.5-micron filtration rating.

Refrigerator Compatibility
The Samsung HAF-CIN DA29-00020B fits select Samsung French-door and side-by-side refrigerators with a compatible internal cylindrical filter housing.
Before ordering, confirm compatibility using:
- The DA29-00020B number printed on your current filter
- The HAF-CIN or HAF-CIN/EXP designation
- Your refrigerator’s full model number
- Your appliance owner’s manual
- Samsung’s refrigerator-filter compatibility information
Do not purchase based only on the Samsung brand name. Other Samsung refrigerators may require HAF-QIN, HAF-CU1, HAFIN1 or another cartridge style.
How to Install the Samsung DA29-00020B Filter
- Turn off the refrigerator’s cold-water supply when recommended in your appliance manual.
- Dispense a small amount of water to relieve pressure in the system.
- Locate the existing HAF-CIN filter inside the refrigerator.
- Turn the used cartridge approximately one-quarter turn counterclockwise.
- Pull the old filter straight out of the housing.
- Remove the protective cap from the new DA29-00020B.
- Align the new cartridge with the filter receiver.
- Push it fully into the housing.
- Turn the filter approximately one-quarter turn clockwise until it locks.
- Restore the refrigerator water supply.
- Run water through the dispenser to remove trapped air and loose carbon particles.
- Inspect the filter area for leaks.
- Reset the filter indicator according to your refrigerator manual.
Some sputtering during the initial flush is normal while air leaves the water line.
Avoid applying vegetable oil or another lubricant to the O-rings unless Samsung’s instructions supplied with your filter specifically recommend it.

Does the DA29-00020B reduce pharmaceuticals?
It is NSF 401 certified for reducing selected emerging compounds, including atenolol, carbamazepine, phenytoin and trimethoprim. It should not be described as removing every pharmaceutical.
How often should the HAF-CIN filter be changed?
Replace it approximately every six months or after 300 gallons, whichever occurs first. Changes in water flow, taste or odor may indicate that earlier replacement is needed.
