Water Filter Spotlight: GE Smartwater Filter

With today’s health-conscious society, more people want to enhance the quality and taste of their drinking water by installing a good water filter in their home that will remove bacteria and other harmful contaminants.

Using high-quality water filters is the most convenient way to have access to great-tasting water that is free of harmful pollutants and chemicals. And it is also far less expensive and more ecologically friendly than purchasing countless plastic water bottles.

Some of these filters clean and purify the water coming straight out of the kitchen sink faucet. Others filter the water and ice dispensed by our refrigerators, like the GE Smartwater filter line of refrigerator filters.

GE Smartwater filters are some of the best refrigerator water filters on the market today, guaranteeing clean, fresh-tasting water, and ice cubes for the entire family. Read on as we explore some of their main features.

The GE Smartwater Filter is compatible with all GE refrigerators

General Electric is one of the top manufacturers of refrigerators, and their water filters are specifically designed to clean and purify the water and ice dispensed by GE refrigerators. When replacing an existing GE refrigerator water filter with a GE Smartwater filter, you will find a round, white-colored plastic filter mounted at the rear of the unit above the top shelf. Remove the old filter, and the GE Smartwater filter will fit seamlessly into place.

The GE Smartwater Filter removes many contaminants

The water tastes great, and potentially healthy and beneficial minerals, such as fluoride, are left behind while removing chemicals and contaminants. The GE Smartwater filter was specially designed and tested to eliminate many harmful pollutants from your water, including the taste and odor of chlorine, lead, mercury and other heavy metals, giardia and certain parasites, and the many trace pesticides and pharmaceuticals that have made their way into our water supply.
