- Smart Whole House Leak Detection Water Filtration System | Reduces Sediment, Rust & More | Install Kit Included | Filter Not Included | Replace Filter (FTHPM, FTHTM, FTHLM) Every 3 Months | GXWH70M

I love that this filter uses an app to tell you if you have a slow medium or fast leak or running of water. It was very handy when doing plumbing upstairs and I needed the water cut on and off and I had no one to help me. I just pushed a button on my phone and the filter shuts my water off. I like that you can pressure wash outside and not waste the filter by filtering all of that water while cleaning by simply telling it to bypass the filter.... Don't install the filter with the inlet/outlet pipes backwards like I did!! 🤦‍♀️ Seems simple enough to do it correctly but took me forever to figure out why it wasn't letting water pass through but eventually I got it and took it all apart and flipped the pipes and it worked perfectly.

Pretty easy install - I had PEX-a pipe supplying the house, spliced into it with PEX-b, keeping the number of elbow joints to 2. The toughest part was getting the app to connect to the Wifi - which is why I docked it 1 star. It turns out that my router (TP-Link mesh) had an advanced featured turned on called fast roaming and the device would just not connect to the internet until I turned that feature off. Took me a couple of hours of frustrating troubleshooting turning off and on all kinds of features on my Wifi router until I could make it work. You'd think the GE/Haier folks would put these things in their instructions. In any case, the appliance seems to be working well. In day 1 it alerted me to a slow running toilet in one of the bedrooms in our house we rarely enter. The app is set to alert you on your phone when there's a slow drain (0.5 GPM or less) for an hour or a higher flow rate for 30 min. These can be adjusted in the app. TBH - that is the most useful feature of this device... the ability to monitor water flow rate and consumption, get alerts in case of a leak and the ability to shut off the water supply remotely. I'm not even sure if we needed the filtration... but can't hurt.

I have a well at my house for water and have always had hard water stains . I was told by plumber to install water filter and It would help. I found this whole house water filter on sale and purchased it . A friend of mine installed it. I was not an overly easy project as it took him some time but once up it worked perfectly. I have noticed a great improvement in the water. No more orange stains! Only drawback is you have to replace the filter every 3 month and they are not cheap, but I will do it because the filter is doing the job. Great buy.

This product is hard to install unless you are lucky to have the exact 3/4 in Pex on Copper pipe in your home. The product comes with a sharkbite 3/4 In to non standard pipe adapter as shown in the picture. I got a professional plumber who measured the diameter of the inlet and outlet of the GE Smart Whole House Water Filtration System and said it did not conform to normal standard. The GE appliance website says that one can get a 1 in adapter separately if the customer needs it. I called the GE customer care twice and they don't know what it is and advice me to consult with a plumber !!! They don't know what part number or the specs of the 1 in adapter for their own custom pipes. I went online and bought a 1 in SharkBite adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E0DOKZ8 and it did not fit. I am very disappointed at the lack of support and clear information from GE and I will be returning this product.

I've always wanted a way to monitor and control water usage just because I'm a techie. That said, this device is amazing. It's small and was easier to install than I would have expected (I did have a licensed plumber do it but the quick connects that come with the unit eliminated any soldering). As for operation, 2 days after installation I got an alert of "low continuous flow". Turns out our guest bathroom has been having intermittent fill issues and I never knew (it's so quiet you can't hear the water running without taking off the tank lid). The app shows you real-time water usage and has several alerts for possible water leaks. And the kicker, you can remotely turn off your water! The filtration is a nice bonus but not what I purchased the device for (our city water is pretty good compared to most). I believe the trade off of $120/yr in filters will be paid by the water savings from small issues like the running toilet and provide insurance against any major problem. Definitely glad I put this in and would recommend to others.

Completely clogged after 3 weeks. Occurred with two successive filters

Difficult to change the filter

I bought this one because of the wifi functionality. The water lines are in a spot where I don’t see it every day so the app letting me know the lifespan of the filter is perfect. The fittings were the wrong size for my lines so I had to order the right ones to install this. The water in my home is much better now. Faucets and shower heads aren’t getting gunked up anymore. Showering feels quicker now since the water can carry more dirt away. This is also benefitting my skin and hair. Definitely recommend getting a whole home filter.
