The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other water filtration: replacement filters, under-sink and reverse osmosis systems, filter pitchers, water dispensers, coolers, faucet filters and softeners we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The AQF-FF14 is sold as a 2-pack at $20.99, making each filter approximately $10.50. NSF 42 certification means the filter is designed to reduce chlorine taste and odor, and NSF 372 confirms lead-free construction. The material is listed as plastic, which is standard for this type of refrigerator cartridge and aligns with the NSF 372 lead-free compliance.
Physically the filter measures 6.3 x 3.15 x 5.55 inches and weighs 1.3 pounds. This form factor is consistent with certain side-by-side and French door refrigerator filter slots, though buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific model before purchasing.
With 768 reviews at 4.7 stars, the AQF-FF14 has a consistent track record from a moderate review base. The score aligns with Aqua Crest's general positioning in the 4.7-star range across its lineup.

Frequently asked questions
Is the AQF-FF14 the same filter as the AQF-FF05 from Aqua Crest?
No. The AQF-FF14 and AQF-FF05 are different Aqua Crest models with different form factors. The AQF-FF05 measures 9.53 x 3.34 x 5.59 inches, while the AQF-FF14 is 6.3 x 3.15 x 5.55 inches. Both carry NSF 42 and NSF 372 certification and are sold as 2-pack or 3-pack formats, but they are designed for different refrigerator cartridge slots. Check your refrigerator's filter model number to confirm which Aqua Crest SKU is the correct match.
Does the plastic construction raise any concerns about the water?
The plastic listed for the AQF-FF14 refers to the outer housing material, which is standard for most refrigerator filter cartridges. The NSF 372 certification verifies that the construction materials, including any plastics that contact water, are lead-free and comply with federal drinking water material standards. Plastic housing is not a concern for properly certified filters designed for refrigerator water dispensers.
How does the 2-pack format affect the total cost over a year?
If you replace your filter every 6 months as most manufacturers recommend, one 2-pack covers exactly one year of replacements at a total cost of $20.99. A comparable 3-pack at $28 to $30 would cover 18 months and costs less per filter but requires upfront payment for more inventory. Whether the 2-pack or 3-pack is more practical depends on your household usage and how quickly you tend to go through filters.
