The GE SmartWater FXWTC is a 5-micron carbon-wrapped sediment filter. This rating allows it to effectively capture fine sediment, sand, silt, rust, and dirt particles while the carbon layer reduces chlorine taste and odor from your household water supply. The 5-micron rating strikes a balance between thorough filtration and maintaining strong water flow throughout your whole house plumbing system.

The GE SmartWater FXWTC whole house filter has a service life of approximately 3 months or 15,000 gallons, whichever comes first. Since this 2-pack provides two filters, you'll have roughly 6 months of filtration coverage. Replacement intervals may be shorter if you have high sediment levels, well water, or heavy household water usage. Monitor water pressure and taste as indicators that replacement is needed.

The GE SmartWater FXWTC is designed to fit GE whole house filtration systems including the GXWH04F, GXWH20F, GXWH20S, GXWH35F, and GNWH38S housings. It uses standard 9-3/4" x 2-1/2" dimensions, making it compatible with most standard-sized universal whole house filter housings as well. Always confirm your housing dimensions before installation.

The GE SmartWater FXWTC is tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction of chlorine taste and odor, as well as sediment reduction. This certification confirms the filter's ability to improve the aesthetic quality of your water throughout your entire home, delivering cleaner, better-tasting water to every faucet, shower, and appliance connected to your main water line.

The FXWTC combines mechanical sediment filtration with activated carbon to reduce sand, silt, sediment, rust particles, chlorine taste, and unpleasant odors from your incoming water supply. Because it installs at the point of entry, every tap in your home benefits from reduced chlorine and sediment. Note that this filter is not designed to remove lead, heavy metals, or microbiological contaminants.
