Whole House Water Filtration System

No i have no pressure drop so far but i'm what happens in ninety days

I struggled with the cover for hours when it was new. I then reread the instructions, looked up some feedback on the internet, followed the instructions and advise, and was successful. The easiest process I've found is this: Turn filter handle to off or bypass, turn off water to the house, open a cold water faucet nearest the filter and let water drain, press and hold the bleeder valve (red button-ish thing) until all pressure is gone and only a dribble of water ///THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP. THE FILTER COVER IS NEARLY UNMOVABLE IF YOU DO NOT BLEED THE PRESSURE., using a filter cover wrench unscrew the cover, change the filter, thread the cover back on by hand (careful to not cross thread and/or catch the rubber ring), snug the cover using the filter cover wrench, crack open the water watch for leaking or spraying from the cover threads and/or bleeder valve (close off water and recheck cover is seated and rubber ring is in place and not damaged), crack open the water, open fully when no leaking, allow filter to fill and run a little, hold bleeder valve until only water (no more air) comes out, reset timer, and run cold water from the closest faucet until any residue and/or air is passed. That should just about do it.

This filter remove debris only. You need water softener to remove calcium. You will need adaptors to connect between this and copper piping too.

No more than the rest of your water system

Hi MrC - This models is for vertical installation only. Horizontal installation is not recommended because the water is going to dump out of the unit when loosening the sump. See Installation Guide at the following link: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-50220-4.pdf - Thanks for your interest! Sue

Hi Zach - FXHSC reduces sediment, sand and rust. FXHTC reduces chlorine taste and odor, sediment, sand and rust. To treat an iron problem other than moderate amounts of "clear water" iron, consult a local water dealer or distributor. A water softener such as GE SmartWater system softeners will remove moderate amounts of ferrous (clear water) iron. Resin bed cleaners, such as Super Iron Out by Summit Brands, should be used periodically. Keep in touch at 1-800-952-5039. Sue

The battery usually needs to be changed, but its time for a new filter. It would be nice if the battery lasted longer

I can wash glasses in my sink, rinse and air dry w/no spots. Hope this helps.
