GE GXULQ Hey everyone, Aquaman here with FilterDoctor.com.
Today we’re looking at the genuine GE GXULQ. This is a complete under sink drinking water
system, designed to filter the cold water to your existing faucet. This system does
not require the installation of a secondary drinking water faucet.
Now, GE has done a really nice job of putting this system together and I’d like to show
you some of the highlights. For starters, this is the GXULQR replacement cartridge,
and it has GE’s proprietary twist and lock, quick change filter technology.
Let me show you how it works. This is the valve head mechanism that the filter cartridge
goes up into. It is mounted on this bracket which will be screwed to the side of your
cabinet underneath the sink. When it’s time to change cartridges, you remove the old cartridge
and put the new one in by simply pushing it in place, and twist and lock. It’s that
easy. Twist and out to remove, twist and in to install. Super easy. How convenient; anyone
could do that. Also, GE has been very thoughtful by putting
quick connect fittings on the valve head mechanism and in the plumbing parts that come with this
complete installation kit. When you tap into your cold water line; there will be a quick
connect fitting there, and quick connect fittings on the inlet and outlet of the valve head.
Now, quick connect fittings are super slick. You literally stab the plastic water line
into the quick connect, and the internal mechanism grabs ahold of it and never lets it go and
never lets it leak. They are amazing! Also included is this filter change indicator
light. It comes complete with batteries and it’s magnetic, so you can stick it to the
side of your fridge. When you start using the cartridge, press the start button, and
exactly six months from that moment the filter change indicator light will begin to flash,
alerting you that it’s time to change your cartridge. Super convenient.
GE has put together a great system. It’s NSF Standard 42 certified for the reduction
of chlorine taste and odor and sediment; so just basic filtration to remove nasty little
odors to make the water nice and crisp and clean and odorless and tasteless like water
should be. Again, this is the genuine GE GXULQ, and I’m
your host Aquaman with FilterDoctor.com. Thanks for watching.
