Several variables determine how long the cartridge will
last in your Household Water Filtration Housing. These
include:
■ levels of sediment or other undesirable substances in
your water.
■ the amount of water you use.
■ the filter location (filtering all or part of your
household water).
Filter Cartridge Replacement
You should change your filter when the water flow is noticeably reduced or at least every 3 months.
Turn off water to filter. For model GXWH04F, water

must be shut off from an upstream valve. For model
GXWH20S, rotate control handle to the BYPASS or
OFF position. (See Control Handle .)

lightly lubricated with clean food-grade silicone
grease (silicone grease is available through GE Parts
and Service: 1.800.626.2002, part number
WS60S10005). Be sure the O-ring is seated in
the groove. It is recommended that you replace
the O-ring if it is damaged.

sure it is centered and completely seated on the
