GE Whole House Water Filtration System | Reduces Sediment, Rust & More | Install Kit & Accessories Included | Filter Not Included | Replace Filters (FXHTC, FXHSC) Every 3 Months | GXWH40L

so far so good, no leaks, seems very well made, the clear body is a plus and the bypass works which was vital when changing filters so I could have water to clean housing.

I had this Whole House Water Filter professionally installed. It's strong, well-made, and durable.I haven’t had any leaks after the installation, and am very happy with it so far.

You won’t believe what you were drinking.

I purchased this water filter to prevent water softener resin beads from entering my house piping in the event of a softener failure. This happened at a rental house when the filter basket inside the softener collapsed, and it was a nightmare. It will cost you thousands of dollars to have a plumber clear the lines. I did it myself, but it was two whole days of frustration. I vowed that this would never happen in my own home, so I installed this on the outlet side of my softener to trap the resin beads should the softener fail.This thing is a beast - it is very heavy (even empty, with no filter), and I recommend installing it on a wooden backplate. Also, I recommend using a lot of teflon tape on the threaded components you will need to purchase to attach your piping to the filter. I used a few wraps, but it wasn't enough to prevent leaking. I had to disconnect it and use another 5 wraps to get a leakproof connection (do NOT overtighten the connections).This unit seems to be very rugged. It is also reversible (you can have the inlet on the right or the left), which was a nice feature for my installation. The 90-day battery-powered reminder is a bit gimmicky, but I stuck it on the door of my garage refrigerator so it would be readily seen when the filter change time is indicated. FYI, I was able to get 7GPM flow through this filter when I first installed it and was flushing it per the instructions (with an AQUACREST aftermarket 5-micron filter installed).

This system was already installed between the well and the house when I bought my home. The filter is always quite orange when I change it and I haven't had a build-up of rust or too much calcium on my kitchen or bathroom drains or inside appliances. I actually bought just the canister part of the system to make it easier to clean when I change the filter. Since I have to turn off the water to the whole house, I can't rinse the canister out during filter changes, so now I can just have a clean one ready to go with a clean filter then wash out the used canister after I make the swap and turn the water back on.

daughter complained about the hardness of her water, i had this professionally installed. no more complaints about the water.

I had previously installed a much smaller water filtration system billed as whole house...was not quite up to it's billing. If you have limited space this is it. What a remarkable difference in the water, the water pressure the taste and smell of the water. I live in Palms Springs, California and the water here is the worst. Very high in calcium deposits on everything...and I mean everything. From cars to clothes to house plants, it's a constant battle to get rid of water staining here. Solution, put in a whole house water filtration system that will eliminate the problem. In addition to the water. Additionally in line I added a smaller prefilter, that makes a big difference on performance. Was an easy install and it's a quality product. Life any purchase like this, shop for what fits your needs as it relates to water treatment for in house use. Because of the limited space I chose this unit and the flip side is, if you every want to expand this system, just buy another unit and add it in-line with the existing unit. Label the outside of each unit with the "type" of filter cartridge so you know what filter is where, and you are off to the races. The most important thing here is knowing what your "major" water problem are, mine was calcium and water stains along with odd odors at times. This has eliminated that problem. The water flows better, cleaner and safer. I would never drink just the tap water here in Palm Springs unless it was filtered.....thanks to folks at GE they have solved my problem. As noted in the photos I have a tankless water heater, no more tank type....this whole system does a remarkable job and could not be more pleased. Best.

We installed the GXWH40L on June 3rd 2022 and today is July 11th 2022 the picture with the white filter inside is right after new install and the picture with the yellowish/tan is after running about 5,500 gallons of Tucson City Water through. After the GE pre-filter we have a TAC water conditioner. The water pictured hasn’t gone through that TAC yet. Without these our water does not taste too bad out of the tap but it does have a lot of tds and I would not drink it like that without filtration. I live in the Catalina Foothills near the mountains and we have chlorination in our city water and our hardness runs about 14 - 16 grains per gallon, high dissolved mineral content of the nontoxic macronutrients calcium and magnesium (260 mg/L as CaCO3).I am not sure why it looks this color, I would like to have the filter tested, I am going to talk to the water department. Once the water gets inside the house we also have double filtration on our refrigerator, RO on our kitchen sink. Now that I see this, I kind of want to put simple filters under each bathroom sink as a just in case. I thought our City water was not bad but I don’t understand why the filter looks like this so soon. Normally when ice cubes melt down we can see the white calcium carbonate but nothing like this?The install was easy and quick, my husband is not a plumber did it very easily after watching a few youtube videos.
