GE Smart Home Water Filter System | Premium Water Filtration System Reduces Lead, Rust & More | Wifi Enabled | Install Kit & Accessories Included | Replace Filters (FTHLM, FTHTM, FTHPM) Every 3 Months

I purchased this to replace another whole house filter I had because it was too difficult to change the filter. This comes apart easily. Filters are on delivery from Amazon. It has different values of filters for different levels of filtration.

When we moved into our new home, the water quality was noticeably different than what we were used to. The hard water was so bad that we were actually driving back to our previous house just to shower until we found a solution. Installing this GE whole house filtration system along with a water softener completely changed our experience. We've been using this system for well over a year, and it has been reliable from day one. I use the GE Premium replacement filters and replace them on schedule every three months. The water tastes better, there is no noticeable chlorine odor, and it gives me peace of mind knowing the entire house is being filtered before the water reaches our faucets and appliances. One feature that really sets this system apart is the GE SmartHQ app. It does much more than simply notify you when it's time to replace the filter. I can check how much water we're using, monitor the filter life percentage, and even place the system into Vacation Mode when we're away from home. The built-in leak detection and smart monitoring provide an extra layer of protection that many traditional whole-house filters simply don't offer. The clear filter housing also makes it easy to visually inspect the filter, and changing cartridges is quick and straightforward. If your home has hard water or you're looking for a quality whole-house filtration system, I highly recommend pairing this unit with a water softener. Together they've made a tremendous difference in our home. After more than a year of ownership, it's still one of the best home improvement investments we've made. Definitely worth every penny!

worked good for used product

Installed this about a month ago, so far, it works as expected. I does require some work in regards to a solid mounting surface and some plumbing work. Nothing terribly difficult, especially when using Shark Bites, but it is work nonetheless. The unit itself is much larger than the older 25 year GE unit it replaced. The old one could just hang on the pipe, but this is far too heavy. Finding and creating a good mounting location, with some plumbing tweaks took a couple of hours. After checking for leaks the unit came right up. Downloaded the GE SmartHQ app and connected the filter. No issues with connectivity it works as promised. I haven’t tried to replace the filter yet, but it seems it will be heavy so use one hand on the sump canister when you lower it down. I like that it tracks gallons per day and can detect small potential leaks via notifications. Being that the old GE unit lasted many years, I am expecting a long life with this unit as well.

It's an easy install on new. Can be quite a process on existing piping. WiFi is great, app works as expected. Sharkbites to 3/4" cu or cpvc are included. Be careful with the supplied diagram for mounting the bracket. I did the install with vertical piping and the diagram was not correct. The inlet and outlet pipes need to be 8 3/8" apart but the filter inlet and outlet legs are different lengths. Depending on your existing piping if its inlet up or inlet down will determine where the bracket needs to be installed. It's expensive but hopefully worth it. Master plumber here so I actually know what I'm talking about.
