Check with your local public works department for plumbing
codes. You must follow their guides as you install the Heavy-
Duty Water Filtration System.
Use the Heavy-Duty Water Filtration System on a potable, safe-
to-drink, home COLD water supply only. The filter cartridge will
not purify water or make unsafe water safe to drink.
Protect the Heavy-Duty Water Filtration System and piping
from freezing. Water freezing in the housing will damage it.
Your Heavy-Duty Water Filtration System is rated up to 100 psi
water pressure. If your house water supply pressure is higher
than 80 psi during the day (it may reach higher levels at night),
install a pressure-reducing valve before the housing is installed.

GE - General Electric GXWH40L Questions and Answers


#1 What is the size of the filers? and where on amazon can i buy them?

10" x 5" is the size of the filter. Search Amazon for "GXWH40L replacement filter" and several options for filters are provided. The lower the micron size you choose, the finer the sediment particles are filtered out of your water. For example, a 5 micron filter catches more than a 25 micron filter.

#2 Can this be mounted horizontally?

It should be mounted as depicted. It comes with a steel bracket, and needs to be attached to a wall or studs. I attached my bracket to a 4 ft 2x6, which in turn was attached to a stud in the wall behind. It would certainly still function if rotated 90 degrees, but you'd spill out a half gallon of water at each filter change, and any goo would collect on the bottom side of the filter. If needed, add some elbows in your plumbing to mount as shown.
