Q:I am considering adding this product to my house but only to filter out the sediment to my water heater. Do I need to also buy a water softener system or can I do without?

GXWH50M
Can the WH unit be run without a filter in the housing? I just replaced the filter 2 days ago with a FTHTM(granulated carbon) and the outside of the filter is already covered in an iron substance(mud) that hasn’t appeared in the past until 2-3 months into a new filter. I’m looking to clean the exterior of the filter off, but I need to know if I can run the system without a filter installed? My water pressure has dropped dramatically 2 days after installation.

Vertical water main and DIY ppl:
First: this filter is great!! Immediately removed chlorine from our city water. Water smelled like nothing, usually smells like pool water. When installing however, the diagram for vertical water mains is INCORRECT. Refer to the photo. You want to make sure the bracket is positioned so that the E cutouts face DOWN if your water main is going to come up from below the unit. Water coming in connects to left, water going into home on right. Filter will be on right side.

not so easy
I installed this today thought about $150 worth of parts to do what I needed My house being a newer home has the water line coming into the house inside the wall I had to cut the wall open to access the main water line it turned out pretty good but the instructions are terrible not clear on how to use it I had to try to figure out how to orientate it for vertical the instructions were very vague and didn't even explain how to install the filter after I put it all together it didn't seem right and realize that you have to lock in the filter and I couldn't find that in the instructions, I have to say after the install the water does definitely taste better sweeter I'm glad that I did it. but frustrated with the instructions, Also don't push the red button water spewed everywhere I'm not even sure what the red button is for I'm trying to find out in the instructions.

Low water pressure
This unit is very nice looking and easy to install using shark bite fittings. Unfortunately the line coming off my main is 1inch and the inside diameter of the filter is 1/2inch so greatly reduced water pressure especially when more than one shower was on. Would love for GE to have this setup that started out at 1inch and was able to reduce rather than the current configuration. If you have a large house or lines larger than 3/4 I would recommend looking into a different unit. I did remove it. :(

Replaced whole home filter with this system and I love it. Old system used wrench to twist to tighten or to remove. Had the system for 10 years and it would drip and I would have to use a mallet to loosen the filter to change it.
This system uses a lever to seat or release the filter. No dripping and filter works great.
It took a plumber about 45 minutes to install if (like me) you don't trust yourself with plumbing work.

Does it’s job
Bought this for a rental property to help reduce sediment etc from the main water line getting into the house, couldn’t use it there because of clearance constraints so I installed it at our main property. House has all new PEX line so it was super easy to install, and it removes the chlorine taste and smell (never had a sediment issue here, and I don’t see any in the trap).
Only issue with this is it reduced water pressure quite a bit, the sprinklers now struggle to reach areas they had no problem with before the filtration unit was installed. Other than that, a pretty solid filter and it’s nice they have the varying levels of filters for this unit.

Instructions are ridiculously unhelpful
I consider myself to be fairly handy. It took me 2 1/2 hours today to install this in my basement. I had to build out the wall so the bracket would have somewhere to attach. It doesn’t mention that specification anywhere. It took me a good 45 minutes to “use the quick connect tool, slide the quock connect fittings on to the system”. Its not at all the simple. I work out 5 days a week and if I had been any weaker it wouldn’t have “slid on”. The “bracket”...please. There is literally no diagram that shows how its supposed to go together. No mention of a L or R. Discovered that myself. There are no, literally none, You tube videos of how to install. I’m not surprised. I swore probably 20 times trying to install this thing. It had better be worth it

Very nice concept,but the longivity of the replacement filter cartridges seems a little bit short...This type of water filter system, for whole house might be a better fit for a smaller house...fifteen thousand gallons is kind of a short life for the average house...Replacement filter cartridges would have to be replaced a bit to often and are a little pricey...Other filter systems would be a better fit for most homes...Still a great product...

Hello Vegas, thank you for your review. We are sincerely sorry you have not been pleased with the filters of your whole home water filtration system. We truly understand how that would be frustrating. Please know that this is not the ownership experience we strive for. We have passed your comments along to our water filtration design and development team for future improvements. -Chris@GEA

I recently received the GE Whole House Water Filtration System and installed it in our current home in Florida. This is the same type of system that we had previously used in our trailer on a lake property we owned in northern Georgia. It was city water there and the chlorine smell and taste were very noticeable. This system did what we needed. It removed the chlorine smell and chlorine taste. You can choose from several different types of filters to use for this system. We are currently using a filter which removes the chlorine taste, the chlorine smell, lead and sediment. I cannot attest as to the filters capabilities for removing lead as this would require some sort of analytical testing and we have not had our water sampled or tested. For a few extra dollars a year, it’s worth it to us to install the higher filtering capacity water filter. Our water is odorless now, I can attest to that. Installation is relatively easy depending on the location and ease of access to your incoming water supply (from a well, or from a city supply). After using this system previously, we were quite satisfied with the results. If you’re looking to purchase a whole house water filtration system at a reasonable price, the GE system may be one you would want to consider. I have attached a few pictures of the system installed (not plumbed) to give you an idea of what it looks like. Filter changes are very easy, and it is recommended you change them every three months.
