Customer Reviews for GE Universal Whole House Replacement Water Filter Cartridge (2-Pack)

Universal easy install to replace standard house filter. Good to as low as 30 microns so should stop sand, sediment, and rust. Good cost if you have basically safe water with some particulate you would like to remove. I will probably go with the slightly more expensive carbon filter next time as it gets down to 5 microns and removes odors.

I have a well with horrible water that includes high clay and sulfur content. I have a UF filter already, which works great! But, my sulfur pretreatment is getting bogged down with clay and sediment so I installed a prefilter and throw these filters in, which has made a huge difference in reducing the amount of sediment making it into my expensive water system. I change these about weekly or biweekly and I have never noticed a chemical odor from these. You can see in the photo all of the grit and clay that was caught after two weeks of use. I need to do a bit more upgrading yet, but this is buying me time for sure.

When I opened the package I noticed a very strong smell of chemicals. I installed it anyway thinking the water would take the smell away. After installing I flushed all the toilets and ran the kitchen sink for 15 minutes. My daughter came out and filled her water bottle. She couldn’t drink the water because the water tasted so strong of chemicals. We used the water for everything but drinking for 4 days and the taste is still awful. I removed the filter and replaced it with a wrapped paper type. Repeated the steps above and the water taste fine. I can’t imagine that these filters are safe for household drinking water.

These allow good water flow while filtering out rust and sediment. I change the filter every 3 months which seems to work out great.

Great replacement filters. They come two to a pack, great for my install.

Great product. Easy to install to catch sediments after a heavy rain

It's the only filter that works in my system. Been using this type for 20 yrs.

Bought for future use. Unable to comment at this time.

It gets the water hot quick

Been using the same filters for about 40 years. That should answer all your questions. Just don't stop stocking them.
