💧 GE FQK2J Drinking Replacement Filters: Pure and Refreshing Water at Your Fingertips Review

I saw on the Revain and Home Depot websites that the FQK2J filter is a new replacement for the FQSVF filter. I ordered them without checking customer reviews. Big mistake. They fit a little less in the suitcase than the old ones. They do not open the shut-off valve and thus do not let a drop of water through! I had to buy the 'old' FQSVF filters and they worked great. Beware.

WARNING - THIS IS *NOT* A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR FQSVF FILTERS! They fit the body but are noticeably larger and the system now has very poor water pressure - little better than the old FQSVF filters that were in the system. I ran the water for 10 minutes and there was no improvement. When I first turned the water on it felt slimy/soapy. This has improved over time, but I'm not interested in drinking this unfamiliar liquid that's leaking from my filter. I am sending them back for a refund. I…

I recently accepted a recommended replacement for these as they were out of stock at my regular supplier. NEVER AGAIN! yes they cost more Yes, you need to be sure you have the right ones for your filter device. Ignore the bad reviews from people who are mad because THEY didn't read the manual/device/old cartridges and bought the wrong one. If these are the right cartridges for your device, there is nothing better you can do than use them. Are there cheaper alternatives from other manufacturers…

When I first changed this filter I followed the original instructions for my GE GXK285JBL sink filter water purification system. The flow has dropped significantly with the new filter. I contacted GE and they suggested another procedure. I was advised to hold the filter under running water for about ten minutes so that the filter is completely full, if less then there is a chance of air getting in. When I change the filter now, I not only hold it under running water for ten minutes, I also…

The apartment I bought 10 years ago had a separate line and faucet for an old GE dual filtration system. However, I never bothered, I just drank from the tap. However, I was tired of buying bottled water here for others, so I decided to replace my old filters and get this thing working. It took a while to find compatible filters (these). They arrived and I was like oh my god they are too big. And they are big. But the screw-in thread around the perimeter fits perfectly. I assumed it was just…

The flow rates for these new cartridges are slower than the original cartridges and it has always been annoying, but the latest set I installed today is even worse. The spec is 1.1 gpm, but at 57 psi inlet pressure I only get 0.23 gpm. It should flow more than four times as fast. I wanted to see if there was any pressure loss or clogging anywhere other than at the cartridges, so here's what I did: (1) I tried to measure the flow rate while the inlet hose was running. straight into the tank - it

We bought these filters after trying universal heavy spills. The generics came with no instructions and turned out to be EXACTLY the same in every way, but we were unable to use them as the water flowed from the sealed area. GE filters work like clockwork. I only have two concerns: 1. For the price, they should come with "food grade silicone grease" which the instructions say is needed around the o-ring before installation. This is a hard-to-find product and can literally come with filters in a

Integrated GE filtration system that requires these are filters. Filters must be replaced after 6 months per GE instructions. The original set of these filters that came with the faucet were purchased from a large national hardware store with orange shopping carts (this will be important later). I bought a new replacement filter kit from Revain. I wanted to see how much better the new filter set was compared to the 6 month old set at the end of its lifespan (several reviewers report that these…
