Broke in 5 months

This cheap plastic unit started leaking about 5 months after purchase. I've replaced the filter and tried plumbers tape underneath the O-rings to create more pressure with no success. The seal where the filter screws in seems as if it's not tight enough. Poorly molded plastic parts may be to blame

This filter is the oem replacement for a new filter system I had to install to replace an older system because those filters were no longer available and neither GE or aftermarket filters worked right.
This new system connects to the regular kitchen faucet rather than it's own separate one, so flow is strong and fast do to that.
But have to say, no taste/smell issues and we've had the water company doing work in our area, unfiltered water has a brown tint, filtered in crystal clear.
I just hope GE doesn't discontinue this filter.

Anomolous flaw
filter busted on its own

This filter has manifested and anomolous breach at the seam which almost flooded my home. I am so glad I was home that night. GE cutomer support was horrid. Just sayin... caveat emptor.

FQK2J is meant to replace FQSVF; however, FQK2J is nearly 1.5 in. longer than FQSVF. It doesn't fit into the existing space. I have three options: 1. hire someone to make the space bigger, 2. install a different unit which can fit into the existing space, or 3. stop using it entirely. From a design perspective, it is a total design failure. Design 101, any engineer would know that in order to design a replacement, they need to consider what's in the past, not just design something in the future.

Honestly I can't believe all the whining on here. I've been using this under sink filter for a couple years now, no problems, water tastes good. We have a Sodastream, and we use filtered water for that, tea, coffee, and drink a lot of straight water besides. I'm also an amateur beer brewer so we put this thing to good use, all the time. Get food grade silicone grease at Ace Hardware for a couple bucks fercryinoutloud. Filter replacement is super easy. I can't imagine a better filter at this price point.

I had this water filtration system installed under my sink over 3 years ago. I did have to replace the mechanism once because it leaked. But the replacement filters are easy to install, I use vegetable oil as a lubricant for the O ring which is fine and doesn't have an effect on the filter. I like the way my tap water tastes because of the filters and I save lots of money because I don't need to buy bottled water.

I replaced the filerts and batteries and have not been able to get the filter connecting to the head to stop leaking.

I've been using this filter model for 4+ years

I've been using this filter model for 4+ years and the prior model which this replaced for longer. I have no complaints but one, see below. The water tastes fine, how long it lasts depends on how much water you run through it. I get the regular 6 or so months.
My one complaint is that when you replace them they say to lubricate the O-rings with food-grade silicone grease but they don't include it. And if you try to buy it from the manufacturer they sell an overpriced little sliver of silicone. I just bought a tube of it on Amazon and keep it in my tool chest. It will last years.,
