GE/Kenmore SmartWater Filter Adapter (GWFADAPTER) Review

Consumers BEWARE! The GE Smartwater GWF filter is not a replacement for the old 'Culligan' FXRC metal filter. Despite the available adapter, the new Smartwater GWF filter was designed for a newer 'high-pressure' system installed in GE refrigerators manufactured after 2001. On the older models using normal water pressure [mine is a GE Performance Profile] these filters do not work. They will seem fine at first, only to run to a trickle in less than a month. I burned through several of these at @ $40.00 each until I discovered the problem.

With millions of wasted filters and dollars at stake, GE refuses to acknowledge the problem.I was told to find a technician at my expense. GE refused to replace the filters with a properly designed compatible model.

Product Description:
If you are replacing a Water by Culligan filter (FXRC, FXRT, MXRC or HXRT), WR97X10006, or Kenmore part number 46-9905 for the first time, you will need to purchase this adapter in addition to the GWF filter. The adapter attaches to the top of the GWF filter prior to installation. The next time you replace the filter, the adapter will stay connected to the refrigerator, so you won't need to buy another one. NOTE: The Water by Culligan filter shown in the picture is for reference only (it is not included with the adapter).

GE SmartWater MWF Refrigerator Water Filter, 1-Pack Review

Shipped immediately, took it out of the box, ignored all the instructions and warnings as men do, unscrewed the other one, put this one in, filled up 2 big glasses of water to "flush it" and that was it.

Maybe 5mins worth of effort?

Not sure what else to say in a review of this item, worked great in our GE fridge.

Whirlpool 4396841 PUR Side By Side Refrigerator Push Button Fast Fill Water Filter, 1-Pack Review

We purchased a new Whirlpool refrigerator earlier this year.The new refrigerator has all the marvelous improvements developed in the last ten years for refrigerators, including a water filter.

The water filter really does deliver better water.However, the water filter seems quite expensive to me.Whirlpool, and other manufacturer's that use this type of filter, recommend the filter be replaced twice a year, whether you need to replace the filter or not.

The filter is relatively easy to replace, but be aware of what happens when you pull the filter.To remove the old filter you push a button next to the filter, typically to the left of the filter.Then pull on the cap covering the filter and pull the filter out.Make a note of how the filter was oriented when you pull it out.

The filter will now begin dripping water, so have a paper towel or small bowl available to let the water drip into.You can either let the filter finish dripping into a sink, or throw it into a plastic bag that you can seal to keep the water from dripping out of the bag.Be sure you remove the cover from the filter before you toss it.On our Whirlpool the cover twists counterclockwise for removal.

Install the filter cover onto the new filter.It takes just a twist to lock it into place.Holding the filter so that the two straight pieces on the end of the filter are vertical, with the open portion of the filter cover oriented on the bottom, slide the new filter straight into the filter cavity until the button on the left clicks to let you know the new filter is locked into place.Note that these instructions are for a Whirlpool, but I believe most other refrigerators are similar.You should be ready to go!

Had I known refrigerator water filters were so expensive I might have gone with a refrigerator without one, though our local water has a lot of chlorine in it (which is filtered out by the filter).

As with many modern conveniences, this water filter represents a convenience that you did not know you needed until you had it.Now that I have it, I am wondering whether I want it since I have to spend a chunk of change each year in filter replacements.Oh well.I guess I can sleep more soundly knowing that the water filter is now removing a bunch of stuff from my water that my body either did not want or need.

Good luck!
