About the Water Filtration System

Many bad tastes and/or odors are removed from water using activated carbon filter cartridges. They are most often used to remove a chlorine taste and smell.

They can also reduce other undesirable elements from drinking water

supplies, such as organic chemical contaminants and lead.

NOTE:

Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (noticeable as “rotten egg” odor) may be reduced by taste and odor filters for a short time, but the carbon media is quickly exhausted. Other water conditioning equipment is usually required for the continuous treatment of hydrogen sulfide.

The GE water filtration system uses two filter cartridges.

Filter I

FXUS—

a sediment/taste and odor filter cartridge

•Reduces unpleasant tastes, odors, dirt, rust and sediments

•Reduces 95% chlorine for 1500 gallons of water

•20 micron, activated carbon

Filter II (Options)

FXUT

—a deluxe taste and odor filter cartridge

•Reduces unpleasant tastes and odors

•Reduces 99% chlorine for 3000 gallons of water

•20 micron, granular activated carbon

FXUV—

an organic chemical contaminants filter cartridge

•Reduces certain organic chemical contaminants like pesticides and herbicides

•Reduces 95% chemical contaminant for 500 gallons of water

•Reduces 99% chlorine for 500 gallons of water

•20 micron, granular activated carbon

FXUL—

a lead filter cartridge

•Reduces 90% lead for 1000 gallons of water

•Reduces 99% chlorine for 1000 gallons of water

•10–20 micron, carbon block

Maximum Supply Water Pressure — 125 pounds per square inch (psi) Minimum - Maximum Supply Water Temperature — 40–100

°F. Inlet - Outlet — 3/8″ NPT, fittings and tubing included Maximum Filtered Water Flow — 0.6 gpm

Depending on the treatment needed for a specific water supply, the water filtration

system can be customized using any combination of the preceding filter cartridges.
