ABOUT THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
Filter Cartridge Replacement
You should change your filter when the water flow is noticeably reduced or at least every 3 months.
Replacement Filter Cartridges
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).

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

.)
Press the red pressure-release button to release
pressure.
Unscrew the filter canister and discard used filter.
Wash the filter canister with mild soap and water.
Do not
use harsh cleaners or hot water.
Inspect the filter canister O-ring. Make sure it is
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.
Place a new filter cartridge into the canister, making
sure it is centered and completely seated on the
bottom seal.
Reinstall the filter canister to the unit. Tighten filter
canister to seal. Use canister wrench if necessary.
Slowly rotate control handle to the FILTER position
(model GXWH20S) or slowly turn on the upstream
shut-off valve (model GXWH04F).
Press the red pressure-release button to remove
trapped air.
Open any downstream faucet and allow filter system
to flush for 30 minutes (model GXWH20S) or
