About the Water Filtration System

Many bad tastes and/or odors are removed from water using activated carbon
filter cartridges. They are most often used to remove a chlorine taste and
smell. They can also reduce other undesirable elements from drinking water
supplies, such as organic chemical contaminants and lead.

NOTE:

Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (noticeable as “rotten egg” odor)

may be reduced by taste and odor filters for a short time, but the carbon
media is quickly exhausted. Other water conditioning equipment is usually
required for the continuous treatment of hydrogen sulfide.

The GE water filtration system uses two filter cartridges.
