GE

A majority of people are keen on leading a quality life, GE filters are just a puzzle piece that facilitates healthy living.

GE appliances water filters are manufactured with the sole purpose to purify the water you get from your refrigerator’s dispenser. They will get rid of sand, turbidity, and particulates that can be present in water despite having gone through a treatment plant. Additionally, they remove chlorine, nitrates, lead, and cysts; chemicals and bacteria that are responsible for various illnesses - some life-threatening.

How Does GE Water Filters Work?

A General Electric refrigerator filter from Filterway contains activated carbon. Before the water dispenses into your cup, it will go through the carbon, where a chemical reaction happens and it eliminates chlorine and neutralises other chemicals. It also attracts particles, debris, and other impurities, confining them in. The result? Clean water that is free from illness-causing germs and chemicals.

However, your filter for GE fridge can only absorb too many contaminants. So, as it continues sieving and decontaminating, the activated carbon will soak in these impurities, eventually wearing out.

Additionally, a worn-out cartridge may release some previously trapped toxins during the dispensing process.
