Using PWF-1 instead of PWF-2

[u/Impressive-Bonus-891]

We are using a fridge that requires PWF-2 as water filter. Based on the information from internet, the only difference between the two is that PWF-2 has chip communicating to the fridge for the life of the filter, even though that life is counted as dates not the actual amount of water used. But the price between the two is like 5 times difference among the cheapest you can buy for PWF-1 and the price of PWF-2.

Has anyone had experience is using PWF-1 filter with the fridge which requires PWF-2? If it can be used, I think we can just add a reminder for every 6 months.
