What Is A GE SmartWater™ Whole Home Water Improvement System?
A GE SmartWater™ Whole Home Water Improvement System* combines the benefits of both drinking water filtration and water softening providing highquality water for drinking, cooking, bathing and showering.

Why Include a GE SmartWater™ Whole Home Water Improvement System?
75% of all Americans are concerned about the quality of their water.**
Drinking Water Filtration Systems
A water filtration system removes unpleasant tastes and odors from drinking water and reduces undesirable elements. Filtered water eliminates the expense and inconvenience of purchasing bottled water at a store or scheduling home delivery of bottled water.
Undesirable elements can adversely affect water used for drinking and cooking. GE SmartWater™ Filtration Systems reduce the following undesirable elements:†
Taste and Odor |
Sodium |
• Ammonia |
Organic/Inorganic |
• Chlorine |
Chemical Contaminants |
Sediment |
• Copper |
• Rust |
• Pesticides |
• Dirt |
• Herbicides |
Lead |
Cysts |
Nitrates/Nitrites |
• Cryptosporidium |
|
|
|
• Giardia |
Water Softening Systems
A water softening system enhances the quality of water throughout the home, from the kitchen to the bath, and from the laundry room to the basement or garage. By reducing hard water and mineral build-up, a water softening system refines one of the most basic essential elements of the home.
GE SmartWater™ Softening Systems provide quality water throughout the home, from the way you feel after showering, to the performance of your appliances.
■Soft water feels noticeably smoother to your skin
■Reduced spotting of dishes and glassware; reduces detergent use
■Laundry is brighter, cleaner and softer; life of clothing is increased
■Towels are 45% whiter while using 1/3 less detergent
■Easier cleaning of showers, tubs and sinks due to decreased soap residue
■Helps reduce scale build-up in pipes which can reduce water flow
■Water heater efficiency on systems using softened water may be increased up to 22% if heating with electricity, up to 29% if heating with gas.††
