How many GPD are the original GE pre and post filters? I see many different GPD filters, just want to make sure I get the right one.Thanks

typically they are 24 GDP. It is a larger diameter than the 18 GPD's also. So if you have a relatively skinny blue filter, it's 18. If it's about 2-1/2" across then it's a 24.

I don't know. On the label it says, "reverse osmosis membrane - model TFM-24 - GE SN: 02612792. I hope that helps.

The original pre/post filter set by GE does not have a set GPD specification, simply because GE makes them to be compatible with a few different models of their filter systems, of which have different respective GPD specifications, themselves. The filters do have a 900-gallon total capacity specification, which may have already been listed here-I didn't look. The system I have, which I believe to be the most popularly available, the GXRM10RBL, specifies that by using the original filters, it has a rated output of 11 GPD. Hope this helps at least somewhat.

Who knows? There are better filters out there. The one I got did not come with any paper work that details its campliblities. A monolithic filter or the ones that go in a Berky are good filters. They list exactly what they filter out.

Do a google search , I have found out they come in carbon block cyl. and 2 1-2 x 10 long , the centers about 1 in You may note the flow rate of each filter. I use my filters in tandem so its rough and then a fine. Go to Lowes or Home depot and you can compare. Note the WHKF-DWHV is 3/4 npt inlets. You may want to put a T in and run them in tandom main feeds the T and two filers at the same time ---======---- parrell NOT series Higher flow rate

"50- micron pre-filter; 5-micron post-filter (nominal)". The unit is presented as a "dual-gradient density" filter. I believe that means the outer layers are more loosely wrapped and trap particles at the 50 micron size, and the inner core is tighter wrapped filtering down to 5 microns. This design should extend filter life as far as maintain a decent flow rate for a longer time, from my understanding.

Hi Scott,Thank you for your reply -- I appreciate it! Went to the link you provided and put in my request to be notified when they get more in stock.Still hoping someone can tell us how long a cartridge lasts on average -- 20 bucks is pretty expensive for just 2 of them, although I noticed they're currently offering a 20% discount with free shipping, which would help a bit.

Agreed - Amazon doesn't do enough to describe the product. That said, the photo they supply is accurate, as the filters that come with it are the 0.6, 0.9, and the 1.2 neutral density filters. It was exactly what I was looking for and despite the lack of information, I'm very happy with the purchase. Hope that helps.

You want to kinda plan in advance but check here on amazon and 123filter.com (the manufacturer's site) and a few other places for the pack. You can purchase them separately but that could get frustrating. Depending on usage, you can go much longer with some of the filters in some cases.

They appear to be the same. I noticed the box in which the product came, indicates GXRTQ but on the actual product (I have in use) it says GXRTQR. The letter 'R" may just represent 'Replacement' cartridge. I advise you to check with GE to be sure.

James, Don't buy anything other than genuine GE filters which in my case are the FX12P and FX12M. Anything else will not give you satisfactory results in terms of capacity, taste, purity, etc. Anything else is just junk and I'm going to replace the cheap ones with the genuine ones at the first opportunity.

I apologize to you that I am unable to answer this question for you. I ordered the filters but I had someone else install it for me, so I have no idea of what you are asking me. I am so sorry! The person I had install it, had no problem at all and it works super great for me! I just cannot answer your question. I would try contacting the company and asking them.

I would use the 5 micron as the pre filter and the 1 micron as the post filter. This way you get the best filtration prior to filling your glass. I don't have a better answer than that because when I bought this product, I received 2 5micron filters.

These are truly GE filters that come in the blue GE box with a little pouch of lubrication. This is my second time purchasing them. I will continue as long as the price is still reasonable.

two heap and two pre filters... Still the best filter price I could find...

CharlesouTou are welcome. This has been a great filter. I have had it running continuously (other than cleaning) for more than 7 years with no problems.Mark

Interesting topic of discussion. I wonder how does the siphon technology in this filter differ from Wix or ACDelco or Motorcraft filters, for example? Thanks men!

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

I don't know what you mean by "how many filters" - I just bought the GE FQSVF of 2 containers and had my super install them. What do you mean??
