I just bought it today and my angle valve adapter is leaking.

would have been nice if the developers would have used a blue light whenever the filter is activated, that way you know its on

The hand spray is removed to make room for the filter control valve assembly. Now do not see how did you secure the faucet side where the hand spray was attached. The water will flow through that opening uninterrupted.

I tried this GE system and the plastic tubes were leaking from the cold water supply valve. I don't understand why it's all cheap plastic and they just can't get you copper/stainless steel valve connectors/braided hoses. I didnt trust it with the pressure from the supply valve - worried it would burst at night or when no one is home, so I just returned it. Went with Britta for a few months, but I might install something more durable in the future with metal connections.

Thanks for this. You're good at explaining. I have a 10" filter with a 10" housing, but the filter became moldy because I couldn't screw it shut, it didn't go all the way down to the buttom(rounded off housing at the buttom, two different manufacturors. How is the water supposed to flow when the filter is inside the housing?

There is no video of replacing with the old one. Thats sad!

I have had to replace this unit 4 times within 6 months. The manifold keeps cracking. Has anyone else had any similar issues or able to tell me why this keeps happening. When I called GE customer service line they just tell me that they are not technician and cannot assist me and that I would have to have a tech come out to the house, which seems a little ridiculous to me for a water filtration system.

Just installed with left handed valve installation method. Followed the directions carefully, even the flush. But i noticed that my water is still smelling tasting like Chlorine. The filters were factory sealed, so they weren't used. As per your flushing instructions I am turning the valve to the right (towards the faucet). But should I turn the Control Valve to the left to activate the filter system?

[michaelhuynh]

Which direct should the knob be for filtered water?

[irisj]

I’m wondering who should be hired to get this done. Would it be a plumber’s job? Just curious…

[ricardovazquez]

It came perfect with this video thanks

Just received new cartridges for my Dual Smartwater unit. They are identical to my old ones but water won't go thru them. I put the old ones back in and it works fine ! What's going on ?

[issacbishop]

Once red light starts blinking, how much filteration do I have remaining?

[jamielee]

Hello, the top of one of my cartridges is leaking...any idea why? I have replaced the cartridge to see if that would fix it, no luck

[ottismymann]

Cold water line adapter threads just stripped. Who knows how long that will slow me down? Just love all these plastic parts.

[shakere]

CAN IBYPASS THE CONTROL VALVE AND GO STRAIGHT TO THE FILTER AND THEN COME OUT TO THE FAUCET

[MrJdwelker]

Is it possible to connect the hot and cold water to the filtration system?
