IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of property damage or

personal injury.

■Check with your local public

works department for

plumbing codes. You must

follow these guidelines as you

install the water filtration

system.

■

Use the water filtration system

on a potable, safe-to-drink,

home

COLD

water supply only.

The filter cartridges will not

purify the water, or make it

safe to drink.

■

Do not

use on a hot water

supply (100°F. max.)

WARNING:

Do not

use with

water that is microbiologically

unsafe, or of unknown

quality, without adequate

disinfection before or after

the system, such as single-user

wells, or other non-public

water systems not regulated by

federal or state health and

safety requirements.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This water filtration system must be properly installed and

located in accordance with the Installation Instructions

before it is used. If you did not receive Installation

Instructions, you can receive one by calling us

toll-free at the GE Answer Center®800.626.2000.

PROPER INSTALLATION

■

Install or store where it will not

be exposed to temperatures

below freezing or exposed to

any type of weather. Water

freezing in the system will

break it. Do not attempt to

treat water over 100°F.

WARNING:

Discard all

unused and packaging

material after installation.

■

Your water filtration system

will withstand up to 125

pounds per square inch (psi)

water pressure. If your house

water supply pressure is higher

than 100 psi, install a pressure

reducing valve before

installing the water filtration

system.

WARNING!

About the Water Filtration System

Many bad tastes and/or odors are removed from water using activated carbon

filter cartridges. They are most often used to remove a chlorine taste and

smell.

They can also reduce other undesirable elements from drinking water

supplies, such as organic chemical contaminants and lead.

NOTE:

Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (noticeable as “rotten egg” odor)

may be reduced by taste and odor filters for a short time, but the carbon media

is quickly exhausted. Other water conditioning equipment is usually required

for the continuous treatment of hydrogen sulfide.

The GE water filtration system uses two filter cartridges.

Filter I

FXUS—

a sediment/taste and odor filter cartridge:

•Reduces unpleasant tastes, odors, dirt, rust and sediments

•Reduces 95% chlorine for 1500 gallons of water

•20 micron, activated carbon

Filter II (Options)

FXUT

—a deluxe taste and odor filter cartridge

•Reduces unpleasant tastes and odors

•Reduces 99% chlorine for 3000 gallons of water

•20 micron, granular activated carbon

FXUV—

an organic chemical contaminants filter cartridge

•Reduces certain organic chemical contaminants like pesticides and herbicides

•Reduces 95% chemical contaminant for 500 gallons of water

•Reduces 99% chlorine for 500 gallons of water

•20 micron, granular activated carbon

FXUL—

a lead filter cartridge

•Reduces 90% lead for 1000 gallons of water

•Reduces 99% chlorine for 1000 gallons of water

•10–20 micron, carbon block

Maximum Supply Water Pressure — 125 pounds per square inch (psi)

Minimum - Maximum Supply Water Temperature — 40–100°F.

Inlet - Outlet — 3/8″NPT, fittings and tubing included

Maximum Filtered Water Flow — 0.6 gpm

Depending on the treatment needed for a specific water supply, the water filtration

system can be customized using any combination of the preceding filter cartridges.

About the water filtration system.

The countertop faucet dispenses the filtered drinking water when

opened. It has a hand operated, spring loaded closed lever to

prevent waste. You can keep the faucet open by pushing upward

on the lever to lock it against the faucet spout.

Filter Cartridge Life—

Several variables determine how long the

cartridges will last in your water filter system. These include:

How much water you use.

How much sediment, taste and/or odor, lead, or other

unwanted substance, is in the water.

No matter which water filter system you have, you should replace

the cartridges every six months, when indicated by the electronic

indicator light on the base. In extremely poor water supplies, you

may notice the return of the unwanted substance in your water

before the six months. In this case the cartridges should be

replaced immediately. If the system is also for lead or chemical

contaminant removal, it is

MORE IMPORTANT

to replace the

cartridges at least every six months.

NOTE:

If the water supply contains high amounts of sediments, the

carbon filters may plug with them, reducing filtered water flow to

the system faucet.

Cartridge replacement is needed to restore flow

Electronic Indicator Light—

The electronic indicator

light on the base of the faucet is a six month timer that

shows you when to replace the filter cartridges. When

the battery pack is first installed, the indicator light will

light briefly to show that the electronics are operating.

If this does not happen, the batteries could be installed

backwards or the leadwires are not connected.

After about six months, the indicator light begins to

flash. It is time to replace the filter cartridges. When

replacing the filter cartridges, also replace the batteries

in the battery pack. Two “AA” batteries are required.

Filter Cartridge Installation or Replacement

CAUTION:

Never remove the sumps when water pressure is in the water

filtration system.

Close the water supply saddle valve to the filter. (See the Installation

Instructions for saddle valve location.) Press the vent valve on the top

of the filter I head to relieve the pressure in the system, or open the

filtered water faucet.

Remove the sump, using the sump wrench tool provided, from the

filter head, by rotating the sump as shown in the below illustration.

Be careful, the sump may be full of water. Be sure to keep the large

o-ring seal.

If you are replacing a filter cartridge, remove and discard the used filter

cartridge.

Be sure the inside of the sump is clean. Thoroughly wash the inside of

the sump with hot, soapy water and rinse.

Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge and insert the filter

cartridge in the sump. Some cartridges fit either way, while others fit

only one way. Observe markings on the cartridge.

NOTE:

The water filtration system uses two different types of filter cartridges.

Be sure to install them correctly.

The sediment/taste and odor filter (FXUS) should always be placed in the

filter I sump.

Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal in the sump with clean silicone

grease. Be sure it is fully seated in its groove.

Hold the sump up to the filter head, aligning the center hole in

the cartridge with the protrusion on the bottom of the head.

Being careful not to cross-thread, rotate the sump onto the filter

head and tighten securely using the sump wrench tool provided.

NOTE:

If the sump will not tighten up to the head, you may have

the cartridge in upside down. Take the cartridge out and check

for correct orientation.

Repeat steps 2 through 8 for filter II.

Turn on the filtered water faucet. Then, slowly open the water

supply saddle valve and allow the filter housing to fill. While it is

filling, press the filter vent valve to release air in the filter.

Close the filtered water faucet. Then check for leaks between the

sump and the head.

NOTE:

If leaking, turn off the water supply and turn on the filtered

water faucet, or press the vent valve to depressurize the filter.

Disassemble the filter and check the o-ring for cuts, flat spots,

etc., and sealing surfaces for foreign material. Clean the o-ring

and lightly lubricate with clean silicone grease. Carefully press

into the groove in the sump.

If you are replacing the batteries, remove, properly discard

and install two new “AA” alkaline batteries in the battery pack.

Removing the batteries, or momentarily disconnecting the

leadwires, resets the six month electronic timer.

The filter cartridges contain activated carbon, a black powder.

When new, turn on the filtered water faucet and allow the fine,

harmless carbon particles to purge from the cartridge. Turn off

the faucet when you no longer see the particles in the filtered water.
