Remember to Clean Drain August 25, 2010

How long the filters last depends greatly on your individual water supply. I've sinced pulled the battery out of the faucet because it is just a timer and has nothing to do with actually meaning the filters are dirty. I'm averaging about 9 month on the Pre and Post Filters instead of recommended 3 month. When I change them the prefilter is usually reddish (rusty looking) and the post filter just grayish. I've had the Osmosis filter in place now for about 4 years. I test the water with a TSD meter (Total Disolved Solids) and testing water out of the regular faucet it reads around a 10, Testing water out of the Osmosis filter it tests a zero. Which to me mean the osmosis filter is still working 100%. If anyone knows something different let me know. The only concern I have is where the overflow water drains into my sink drain I need to clean that every 3 months. If not it can get very dirty and clog up the osmosis drain. What happens then is the water can come out of the vent hole on the side of the Osmosis Filter. It happened twice in the four years I've had it and have been home both times. But potentially if the water doesn't flow back into your sink it could flood the floor.
 Part of the system August 22, 2010

These are the two filters which, along with the reverse-osmosis membrane (the real heart of the system) make up the GE reverse-osmosis system. The filters come with detailed written instructions, which is not always the case nowadays, but is always appreciated. Installation will take time and care, and you must have the special wrench and a strong grip to finish the job. I repeat: you must be careful.
I had no trouble, but I have a bit of mechanical ability. I know some people who, frankly, have trouble with changing a light bulb. This replacement might be discouraging if you are in that category. But if you are, take heart! Don't give up on yourself. You can always learn, and practice at simple mechanical things is a valuable learning activity, as good for the brain as an "intellectual" activity -- and so say I.
Great deal June 29, 2010

Arrived really fast and was cheaper than the local stores. I will order these again online and from the same seller.
 no bad, but not amazing April 18, 2010

I am dumb and can't read good; as such I was confused by the RO membrane installation and ran the rig as a pure carbon-filter for about 3 months.
Is this my fault, darn tootn'; But I would have preferred to see instructions that were tailored to a dummy like me.
Another example is the lack of instruction for use of the white tape.
I had no idea what to do with the stuff.. I eventually figured out that unless it is on the curly bit of the plastic pipe things it leaks everywhere!
Now that I know I can say this carbon filter set is great, it made me think it was RO even though I forgot to put the RO filter in!
I love me some clean water, and this sure did fit the bill.
ps
you need a new filter every 1-3 months if you live in a place ware the water smells like eggs and fish.
 Very bad filter April 8, 2008

I have to replace this FX12P filter only after 4 months of use (I bought a new GXRM10G filter set from Home Depot). Suddenly one day the GXRM10G stopped working - no water out of the faucet.
I disassembled it. The post-filter looked OK (still white), but the pre-filter one became black. Worse, the pre-filter then stopped to filter the water well, so as result it damaged the RO membrane, making me to replace all of them.
My water quality is fine - for years we have drunk from the faucet. We use the filter just after having children
That contradicts to what they claim that the pre-filter can last 6 months and the RO membrance can last 3 years.
After relacing first time, 2 days ago, after a month, the filter stopped giving water again. I opened the pre-filter and see that it became black again. I had to buy to replace it again.
Don't buy this. If this hapens again next month, I will trash the whole GXRM10G.
