GE FXSVC Under Sink Water Filter Replacement for Water Filtration System Twice-Filtered Water Reduces Sediment Other Impurities from

Update 9/21/2022: I bought these filters 19 times from Amazon at a good price each time including the last set I bought 6 months ago. I went to order another set a few days ago and the price went up to just under 61 bucks for the set. This is unbelievable since I paid about 48 bucks or so for the previous order from Amazon. I checked The Orange Big Box Store's web site and they were 48 bucks there! I was out shopping and I bought it at the Orange place. Amazon, HOW CAN YOU DO A PRICE INCREASE LIKE THAT? Update 3/28/19: Although some reviewers said these filters on previous purchases fit OK, but more recent purchase did not fit their filter housings, my most recent purchase in March, 2019 fit just fine into my housings and the filter elements were identical in size to the spent ones I removed this time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been using under counter water filtration systems for many years now, and the current one uses these GE Cartridges. Amazon's price on them is very good, and I believe these cartridges do a great job of removing impurities from the water, including rust and sediment, etc with the first stage cartridge and the second cartridge is supposed to remove chlorine, spores, mercury and other baddies from the water. I really have no way of knowing it is doing the job, but I rely on the manufacturers statement on the product, and it is approved by the NSF agency. Read more

I've been using this filtration system for years, it's installed inline with the hose lines that go to my ice maker and bar faucet (for drinking water). It really does a great job at cleaning out impurities - the taste of the water is clean and refreshing, and coffee is noticeably better tasting. I have cut down on my bottled water use when home. The package recommends changing the filters every 6 months but I have gone longer. Read more

These work great ! I change them out every 6 months (600 gallons) Read more

Our kitchen faucet has an under-the-sink GE water filtration system. I regularly replace water filters. I found GE SmartWater FXSVC Replacement Filters fit well. It is a two-stage system, the filter with a grey cap is a pre-filter (stage 1) and the filter with a green cap is a post-filter for stage 2. These filters reduce lead, asbestos, select volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other contaminants from water. As cysts, chlorine odor and taste, sediment, rust, etc. are eliminated the water tastes good. I understand depending on water quality and usage the filters are good for about 600 gallons or six months. Read more

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the installation instructions for GE's dual stage water filter set FXSCV. Here are my findings. Instructions: GE clearly states install the green capped filter on the left (inlet) side. See picture. Weight: I weighed both filters, the green cap was 420 grams and the grey cap 405 grams (~4% difference). Cross-section: I cut a cross section out of both of my used filters. Both are dense carbon block material. Some in the reviews suggested the first filter was a looser pre-fiter, but both are definitely dense carbon. Conclusion: While many on this forum disagreed with GE's filter order (about half said the GE instructions are "wrong"). However, after this bit of research I'm going to default to GE's recommendation and have installed the green cap on the left (inlet) side and the grey filter on the right (outlet side). This is what I did on the previous installation and clean tasting water for 6+ months. Note that the instructions say to run 15 minutes = 9 gallons before using. This seems like a lot, however with a 600 gallon target lifetime I'm also going with GE's instruction and will pre-run at least 5 gallons before drinking the water. One more tip: Use a rubber mallet and the provided wrench to break free the sump housings when removing them, as they can be quite stuck in place after a few months.
