GE Whole House Water Filtration System (GXWH70M), Smart Connected with Leak Detection & Remote Water Shutoff, Reduces Sediment, Rust & More, Install Kit Included, Filter Not Included

It’s amazing the color of the water when I change my Whole House filter! My water goes from brown to clear! The best filter on the market!

I purchased this to replace another whole house filter I had because it was too difficult to change the filter. This comes apart easily. Filters are on delivery from Amazon. It has different values of filters for different levels of filtration.

Installed in the whole house filter. The filter started picking up debris.

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.

Very pleased. Seems to have thought of everything even for something so simple.

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.

I do like these, and it is simple to switch out. The flavor is not bad.

We tested the water and it seems to have made a huge change for the better!
