💧 Enhance Water Filtration with Tier1 Replacement GXRTQR Inline Filter Review

This is the second order of this item for my 10 year old Kenmore Built-in Ice Maker Filter. It has proven itself over a long period of time before being replaced. Because Sears is out of town and they cost twice what I get at Revain for three. Just make sure you choose the right fitting and fitting design for your size inlet pipe.

I used to buy them to try but I wasn't sure about the capacity. The listing showed two different numbers but when I got it it was actually the third rating. 300 gallons now listed.

It doesn't tell you to run the water, but you have to run a lot of water before the water tastes good. I'm guessing it could take half an hour…

I ordered 3 packs of these filters and thought I would get a great price. I installed the first one and it was leaking through the factory inlet fitting. The quick coupling is properly installed and tight. I took it off and tried a second one and it also leaked in the same spot then tried a third. All three escaped. These filters were incorrectly assembled at the factory. I had to reinstall the GE filter before I could get a replacement. I spent about half an hour completing a job that was…
