GE Under Sink Water Filter Replacement, Dual Flow, Reduces Sediment, Rust & Other Impurities from Water, Fits GXK255TBN Under Sink Filtration System, Replace Every 6 Months, FQK2J, 2 Filters

I purchased two versions of these from knock off brands on Amazon over the past month. Neither one would allow water to flow. They would not lock in place correctly. Returned them both and finally bought the OEM GE filter. It worked immediately.

Very pleased with these filters. No bad aftertaste or metallic taste. I will not use any other brand. Our city does not have good tasting water and these fiters make it drinkable.

We have had our under water filtration system for years. One time we tried a generic brand filter and it was a big mistake. Hours after installation, the filter broke apart and caused a huge flood in the kitchen. Luckily we were there so we heard it right away. Ever since then we only buy this GE brand filter. This is a good price and the comfort of having a brand name makes me feel a lot better.

We bought these filters after trying a generic which only leaked water profusely. The generics came with no instructions and appeared to be EXACTLY the same in all aspects, yet we couldn't use them because of the stream of water coming from the seal area. GE filters work like a charm. I just have two concerns: 1. For the price, they should come WITH the "food grade silicone grease" which the instruction sheet says is needed around the o-ring before installing. This is a hard to find product and could literally come with the filters in a small, squeezable packet like ketchup. This would really be a nice touch by GE if they could just include it. My 1 hour spent researching this substance, wandering around Home Depot and coming out empty-handed resulted in my calling my Dad, who said to just use Crisco! 2. There are absolutely no instructions on the sheet enclosed or on the packaging as to how to RECYCLE these filters. If they're supposed to be replaced every 6 months, shouldn't there be a way to recycle them. We have so much plastic waste, and it'd be nice to know where we could drop these off since there are no labels or indicators as to the type of plastic(s) used in their manufacture. Disappointing and not very modern to have no solution for proper disposal. All that said, I'm giving these 4 stars out of 5 as the water tastes great and is filtering out plenty of impurities for our drinking and cooking use in the kitchen. I'll buy them again in 6 months.

This GE water filter is absolutely amazing! It filters out impurities, chlorine, and bad odors effectively, leaving water tasting clean, fresh, and smooth—way better than tap water. Installation is super easy, no tools needed, and replacing the cartridge is a breeze with a simple twist-lock design. It’s built with great quality, durable materials, and the flow rate is steady, not too slow. A solid, reliable filter for everyday use, whether for drinking, cooking, or making coffee. Totally worth the money for safe, great-tasting water at home.

Very good taste

I bought generic copies for half the price and found the filtered water was leaving mineral deposits in my coffee maker which is not a problem with the GE filters. I suspected there might be an issue when I first installed the generics and the water pressure was noticeably higher which I assume means the water is flowing through a less dense filtration medium. Anyway, I switched back to GE and no more mineral buildup.

We purchased a house that had a "GE® Dual Stage Water Filtration System" which uses FQSVF filters. Like everyone else, we realized the older filter had been replaced with the newer FQK2J filter. We purchased the new filters and bought some 'food grade' silicone lube to go with it (the installation directions require it, and it protects the gaskets from eroding over time). The lube was bought on Amazon for cheap, and we will be using it for the next decade probably because it doesn't take much. Before installing the filters I rubbed the silicon over every black gasket (o-ring) that I could find, then twisted the 2 filters on, lining up the arrows with the front panel and not over twisting. I then turned the water back on and watched as many air pockets were blown out of the line. After ~8 minutes of running water through the lines, I tested the water. It tasted great and the water flow was fast. I had zero issues with this new filter. I see many reviews where people are experiencing leaks, things not fitting, etc. These filters are definitely larger than the previous ones, but we had plenty of clearance and the threads are the same size, so there was no problem twisting them in. I purchased the filters directly from Amazon as the seller, who I'm assuming, purchased them in large quantity from GE through their vendor central program. Generally, it looks like the GE Dual Stage system is being replaced with the Dual Flow system, if you want to continue using the older system and you're experiencing leaks, I would consider replacing all the gaskets/o-rings and using silicon lube to protect them in the future.

Well it's good and easy to install. The value for money seem okay considering that I bought the faucet from Amazon not sure where else I can I buy these filters. It's a good buy because I needed them.

Filtration de l’eau a 2 cartouches. Elles ne sont plus disponible chez Home Dépôt.

Il est très important d'installer une généreuse couche de Teflon sur le joint de liaison car il a une tendance importante à ne pas être étanche, lors de l'installation. Il faut bien vérifier cette étanchéité. Pour le reste, ça fonctionne bien après un troisième remplacement.

Great Value, very easy to install. Filters out the chlorine, water tastes great

Wish it was a little less expensive but it is the filter my system requires. Received the correct order the very next day.
