SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow these guidelines as you install the water filtration system.
■Use the water filtration system on a potable, safe-to-drink, home COLD water supply only. The filter cartridges will not purify the water, or make it safe to drink.
■Do not use on a hot water supply (100°F. max.).
WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe, or of unknown quality, without adequate disinfection before or after the system, such as single-user wells, or other non-public water systems not regulated by federal or state health and safety requirements.
PROPER INSTALLATION
This water filtration system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive Installation Instructions, you can receive one by calling us
toll-free at the GE Answer Center® 800.626.2000.
■Install or store where it will not be exposed to temperatures below freezing or exposed to any type of weather. Water freezing in the system will break it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.
WARNING: Discard all unused and packaging material after installation.
■Your water filtration system will withstand up to 125 pounds per square inch (psi) water pressure. If your house water supply pressure is higher than 100 psi, install a pressure reducing valve before installing the water filtration system.

SPECIFICATION GUIDELINES.
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

1 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
2 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
3 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.
