The GE GWF SmartWater Refrigerator filter fits all GE and Hotpoint refrigerators with built-in water filtration systems. This filter replaces old GE part numbers GWF01 (SmartWater), GWF06 (SmartWater Plus), and Hotpoint HWF. It improves the taste and odor of the water and removes the following impurities: 99.97% of Cysts, More than 85% of Particulates (Class I), 99% of Turbidity, 99% of Lead, 98% of Chlorine, 84% of 2,4-D (a common herbicide), 76% of Atrazine (a herbicide), 91% of Lindane (a pesticide), and 99% of Asbestos. GE recommends that you replace the filter every 6 months if your refrigerator is not equipped with a filter status indicator light OR if your refrigerator has a filter status light, the filter should be changed when the light comes on or after one year, whichever comes first OR if the refrigerator has not been used for more than two weeks (for instance, during a move) OR if you notice a decrease in the flow of water or objectionable tastes in the water or ice. NOTE: If you are replacing a Water by Culligan filter FXRC, FXRT, MXRC, Hotpoint HXRT, WR97X10006, or Kenmore part number 46-9905 for the first time you will also need to purchase an adapter. The GWF filter plus adapter is 2 inches taller than the FXRC, FXRT, MXRC, HXRT, so if your top refrigerator shelf is set high (close to the bottom of the filter) then you may want to order the MXRC instead

GWF Equivalent:
This product does replace the older GWF filter from GE, I was a little confused by the description but it does fit into the same mount. It is a little smaller but no adapter is needed.
Great:
I have a GE stainless-steel fridge using this filter. Worked great - noticed improved water taste from dispenser after installation.
Water Filter:
By oredering this product on Amazon.com, it was $5.00 cheaper than ordering directly from GE. The product arrived in a timely manner and I am pleased with it.
It's dishonest to sell one filter for the price of three!:
The price given for this product is the the price for a three-pack of water filters from any other vendor. However, Amazon only ships one filter, not a three-pack, which is what the price would otherwise imply you are buying. This is dishonest. Beware of this bad product description!
