GEGXWH20T Whole House Water Filtration System | Reduce Sediment, Rust & More | Install Kit & Accessories Included | Filter Not Included | Replace Filter (FXWTC, FXUSC, FXWPC, FXWSC) Every 3 Months

Easy to use and install. We are using it on our cold plunge system. Filters are common so lots of options. Has a nice bracket for mounting. Easy install and use. Works great.

This filter housing works very well for use with my cold plunge using 50 micro pleated filters. I wish it were a tad less restrictive for aquarium pump use (read low head pressure capable pump) but that is not a true designed use case for this filter, so I let it pass on that.The only real negative I can think of is the o-ring is not captured in any way, so be careful when replacing the filter that you don't drop the o-ring into the dirt or pinch it when tightening the housing.

I love these. Has a switch to turn the water off or bypass the filter, which is nice. I love the clear housing. No more guessing how bad the filter is. Been using 3 of these on a well at a cabin. You can buy various types of filters to use with this. I use 1 micron filters. Good water flow. With the right filter you can clean water pretty good. will and have bought again

I installed this in November and went to change the filter out for the first time last weekend. The pressure release button broke off and now the whole unit needs to be replaced. Disappointed.

The media could not be loaded. Installing this General Electric GXWH04F Standard Flow Whole House Filtration System can be done without special plumbing tools! So yes, everyone can install this whole house water filtration system and enjoy clean water from every sink, shower, tub, and washing machine.MAIN BENEFITS:Having this installed will first allow you to drink your tap water, second it will reduce dirt, silt and rust which can clog or break your expensive faucets. I recently rebuilt my bathroom and bought all new shower fixtures and faucets. I installed this product to protect my shower heads and thermostatic valve. I've heard that the sand and rust that flow through your pipes can eventually wear down the seals on all types of plumbing fixtures and cause them to leak or break. Save yourself a lot of money in repairs in the future by installing this filter.CHANGING FILTERSGE made it very easy to swap out the filter once it looks dirty.1.I simply shutoff the valve to my water main,2. Then I shutoff the additional SharkBite valve the GE instructions told me to install right after the water filtration system. This prevents water from coming back down from upstairs while I swap filters.3. I turn the water filter valve to the off position.4. Next I simply use the plastic wrench that came with it to unscrew the filter from the base and place the filter in the plastic canister into a bucket. This minimizes any spills.5. I remove the old filter and pop in the new filter and simply screw it back into the housing.6. I turn on the water filter valve, then slowly turn on the water main valve, then the valve right after the filter. That's IT!Honestly, you can do this entire process in less than 5 minutes.Buy the filter and Sharkbite fittings to make the job super easy without any plumbing tools. They cost a little more, but you won't have to buy tools you'll never use again.TOOLESS INSTALLATION PARTS:You'll need 2 of these SharkBite U134LFA 3/4-Inch by 3/4-Inch MNPT SharkBite Lead Free Straight Connectorfor 3/4" plumbing or buy the 1/2" if that's what you're working with. The threaded parts screw into the filter and the other side is a Sharkbite connector that you can slide a copper or PEX pipe into. Also get a SharkBite 22185-0000LF Ball Valve SB 3/4"LLif you want to prevent the water in your house from coming back down, while your swapping filters.LEAKS:If your filter leaks, you probably didn't tighten the canister down properly. It happened to me once, so I simply tightened it a little more and whala! No more leaking.PLASTIC PARTS:I worked in the construction industry from 2004 to 2010 managing large home addition projects so I can assure you that PLASTIC is used a lot in plumbing these days. The people who talk badly about plastic either are too old school, or they simply have no idea that today's plumbing is done with PEX plastic pipes for water supply lines.You can look me up on YouTube, I make easy to follow how-to videos for all types of projects, like this one. I’ve included only a clip from an upcoming video on the Proven Helper channel.Good Luck!

I've always wanted a way to monitor and control water usage just because I'm a techie. That said, this device is amazing. It's small and was easier to install than I would have expected (I did have a licensed plumber do it but the quick connects that come with the unit eliminated any soldering).As for operation, 2 days after installation I got an alert of "low continuous flow". Turns out our guest bathroom has been having intermittent fill issues and I never knew (it's so quiet you can't hear the water running without taking off the tank lid). The app shows you real-time water usage and has several alerts for possible water leaks. And the kicker, you can remotely turn off your water!The filtration is a nice bonus but not what I purchased the device for (our city water is pretty good compared to most). I believe the trade off of $120/yr in filters will be paid by the water savings from small issues like the running toilet and provide insurance against any major problem.Definitely glad I put this in and would recommend to others.

The Smart HQ app looks nothing like the marketing pix, and is unusually difficult to figure out. This product needs a simple app that shows how to turn valve on/off, shows leak detection, and other basics. No chat support that I could find, and the phone number was not answered. No mention of the app in the instructions, and no QR code to simply download it (took hours to determine that I was looking for an app called SmartHQ).This product has only 30 days to return, and it takes longer than that to find time to install, so I'm out of luck. Don't be fooled by the trusted GE label - this isn't your parents' GE.

Best general filter - especially since you can get a wide variety of filters to fit this so you can really meet your needs - so lets say you have well and it is gritty filter the sand out first then maybe a second filter with a charcole filter for taste
