What the certifiers list for Samsung's own HAF-QIN
NSF lists the Samsung HAF-QIN (printed on the filter as DA97-17376B or HAF-QIN/EXP) for NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and 401 at 316 gallons. The 53 listing includes lead, cysts, asbestos and mercury. It is not listed for PFOA or PFOS.
DA97-17376B, HAF-QIN and HAF-QIN/EXP are the same Samsung filter (Samsung's other number for it is DA97-08006C). Read the number on your old filter, or look up your fridge model on Samsung's site. The HAF-CIN (DA29-00020B) is a different filter.
Waterdrop, ICEPURE and PUREPLUS: which code is the lead one?
The same brand sells a taste-only code and a lead code that look alike. Waterdrop WD-F45 is listed for 42 only; WDS-F45 and Waterdrop Plus WDP-F45 are the lead versions. ICEPURE RWF4200A and PUREPLUS PP-RWF4200A are listed for 42 only; RWF4200B and PP-RWF4200B are the lead versions. Water Specialist WS645A is listed for 42 only; WS645A-U and WS645A-A are the lead versions.
The rows marked certified for lead carry the lead code in the Amazon model or part field. The ICEPURE PLUS listing that names only DA97-17376B does not, so we cannot tell which code a buyer gets.

How do I spot a fake Samsung filter?
Samsung says a real canister-style filter has a serial number and a rib on its body, and a real torpedo-style filter feels rounded where your fingers grip it. A fake has none of these. See how to spot a fake Samsung filter for the full checks.
How often should I change it?
Samsung rates the HAF-QIN for 6 months or 316 gallons. The copies are rated 300 to 316 gallons. Plan on 2 a year.
