Summary: Well, okay, but what did you do?
Comment: I understand your complaint, and I'm sure it's valid (I still have an old metal Culligan filter in my fridge), but what did you do to resolve the problem? I see that Amazon lists an MXRC filter for $150 or so. Did you buy that one instead? Does it not have the problem?

Summary: Beware..............
Comment: Consumers BEWARE! The GE Smartwater GWF filter is not a replacement for the old 'Culligan' FXRC metal filter. Despite the available adapter, the new Smartwater GWF filter was designed for a newer 'high-pressure' system installed in GE refrigerators manufactured after 2001. On the older models using normal water pressure [mine is a GE Performance Profile] these filters do not work. They will seem fine at first, only to run to a trickle in less than a month. I burned through several of these at @ $40.00 each until I discovered the problem.

With millions of wasted filters and dollars at stake, GE refuses to acknowledge the problem. I was told to find a technician at my expense. GE refused to replace the filters with a properly designed compatible model.

If you are replacing a Water by Culligan filter (FXRC, FXRT, MXRC or HXRT), WR97X10006, or Kenmore part number 46-9905 for the first time, you will need to purchase this adapter in addition to the GWF filter. The adapter attaches to the top of the GWF filter prior to installation. The next time you replace the filter, the adapter will stay connected to the refrigerator, so you won't need to buy another one. NOTE: The Water by Culligan filter shown in the picture is for reference only (it is not included with the adapter).
