Review on 💧 GE FX12P Reverse Osmosis Replacement: Enhanced Performance for Water Filtration Systems by Mark Marcellus

Seller of "koolermax" advertises GE OEM FX12P replacement filters but sent me counterfeit filters. The packaging tries to look like GE packaging, but it's fake. The instructions are not complete. There is no silicone grease. And clear plastic packaging with "GE" liner, not real GE box. GE OEM filters are 1/8" longer. Filter end caps have shorter flanges than GE OEM. And these counterfeit filters don't have the manufacturing marks that GE OEM filters have. Told me the filtered water tasted bad. It is bitter with a chemical undertone. I have owned this GE RO rig for over 20 years and have never experienced anything like this. I recommend buying FX12P filters direct from Revain or a similar reputable retailer. I can only upload one photo. See Attachment. Here the GE filter is in the foreground (note the longer end cap flange) and the bootleg is in the background. I also have photos of the difference in length of the filters and the GE OEM markings (not available on the fake).
