This product installed easily and as directed. It has been in use for over a year and has proved reliable and trouble free. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
This filter is being installed im my camper as a replacement for one that froze and cracked. (my fault) Installation is fairly simple and doesn't take much space. Water flow is not great but it's only used for drinking water. My biggest concern is the seemingly high cost of replacement filters. That seems to be true of any product that needs periodic replacement. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I bought the GX1S01R filter specifically because of the ADVERTISED flow rate. There are 3 filters for this unit under the GE brand that specify them as replacements for the GX1S01R unit. I bough the mid-line filter (FXULC). The flow rate ... awful. Now I read the "questions", whereby the GE rep indicates we should only be using the FXUTC filter, which is worthless. Should have gone with a different unit. GE should mention that little fact on the box for the GX1S01R filter. Unfortunately, this only becomes known after the installation.
I installed the filter housing with the recommended filter. Unfortunately, the unit leaked around the O-ring seal. It appears that the filter was a little too long and, hence, cannot properly seal the filter housing.
Wish i had read the reviews before purchasing, at least i did not have leaks as i could not get to fit properly before it even got under the sink. going back to the store and will start again. usually read reviews but was in the "big box store" and saw the product. made a decision based on the GE name. Big mistake, not even a little off on the fit, not even close, there is no way to compress the o ring.
This product does not belong on the shelves. Leaks at the O-ring like others said no matter how hard I tried to tighten it. Flow was measured at .5 gallons/min.! I cant believe how much time i wasted on this. The one time i didnt read the reviews before purchase!
My unit came with white plastic compression couplings that leak constantly unless they are in a specific position that I have to find by trial and error. Every time I change the filter the couplings are a challenge. I no longer trust these couplings not to leak under my sink.
Be aware that when using this filter, your flow rate goes from 4 gallons/minute to .5 gallon/minute. It's a ridiculously slow water flow! This is not a usable product. The other filter they recommend will increase the flow to slightly more than 1 gallon/minute, but it doesn't remove all the same things from your water.
GE has designed a defective product the absolutely does not fit with the intended filter cartridges. Just like every other review of this awful product, the filter does not allow the housing to thread all the way shut. GE offers zero help on the phone. They just say "return to place of purchase" or "buy another filter to see if it fits." This is truly unbelievable and I will switch to using better reviewed filters from another company like 3M. Thank you for nothing but wasting consumers time.
Brand new install, even installed a pressure reducer because I did not know how much water pressure is in my lines. Water leaks out of the filter canister at any water pressure level.
