Overview
This Pureline PL-500-S cartridge is an aftermarket refrigerator water filter built as a direct replacement for the LG LT700P, Kenmore Elite 9690, Kenmoreclear 46-9690, ADQ36006101 and HDX FML-3 filters. It uses a coconut shell carbon block and is rated for about 300 gallons of water.
Its main appeal versus the OEM filter is price. Reviewers who switched from genuine LG or Kenmore filters report no noticeable taste difference, at a lower cost per filter. It reduces chlorine taste and odor rather than fully purifying water, so anyone expecting distilled-level output should look at a separate system instead.
- NSF 372 and NSF 42 listed certifications
- Rated for about 300 gallons of water
- Coconut shell carbon block filtration
- Lead-free and BPA-free materials
Who it's for
Fits owners of LG or Kenmore refrigerators that take the LT700P, 9690 or 46-9690 filter, who want OEM-level taste at a lower recurring cost. Not the right choice for fridges that use a different filter model, and not a substitute for a full purification system.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners of Kenmore side-by-side and LG French door and older fridges report a proper, leak-free fit and say they can't tell the difference in taste from the original LG filter. One reviewer notes it reduces but doesn't fully purify the water compared to a dedicated system, and recommends gently shaking a new filter to check for rattling, which can indicate internal damage.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Reduces but doesn't fully purify water per one buyer
- Only compatible with the LT700P/9690 filter family
Performance notes
Water passes through a coconut shell carbon block with a larger surface area and more micropores than cheaper mixed-carbon filters, then through two stages of ionization filtration on its way to the dispenser. Pureline rates the cartridge for about 300 gallons, or roughly 6 months for an average household, after which taste and odor reduction fall off.
