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

Works fine. Easy to install but then the ease of installation depends on the layout of your water system. Mine was in a cramped space and not in-line so it was a little challenging. Doesn't come with fittings but that's fine because it may depend on your installation.

Works as should, couldn’t be happier

You can definitely taste the difference using these. I used to be able to taste and smell chlorine, now I can't. Excellent!

a decent house filter for a budget price but to the reviewer who pointed out it's super-easy to cross thread the outlet....THEY WEREN'T KIDDING! I started the fitting and caught it cross-threading luckily before i went more than a couple threads

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!

Using it in my 125 gallon cold plunge. Keeps it clean. Almost no loss of flow. Works great.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Product is let down by the quality of the red air release button. Leaks the first time it is used and incredibly fragile.

Good quality and installation simplified..
