Staff Rating The FridgeFilters.com Staff Rating is based on an in-depth analysis of the filter materials, construction, packaging, specifications, and certification.

Generally speaking, a filter with more stars is NSF certified, is made of high-grade plastic with tight seams, and has no sharp edges. The filter label and box are well designed, and include color photos to aid in installation. Once installed, the filter produces better tasting, healthier water.

Factors include:
  • Flow rate, capacity (filter life), micron rating, etc.
  • Filtering material - carbon block, granular carbon, pleated paper, etc.
  • The type of contaminants removed by the filter - Chlorine, Lead, Cysts, etc.
  • The number of different contaminants removed
  • The percentage reduction of each contaminant
  • Materials used to make the housing
  • Tightness of seams, quality of o-rings, etc.
  • Certification by an independent agency - ANSI, NSF, WQA, etc.
  • Length of manufacturers warranty, Good Housekeeping seal of approval, etc.
  • Detailed installation instructions on the filter label, box, or both
  • Country of manufacture - USA, Mexico, Taiwan, China, etc.

 (more info) The Aqua-Fresh filter removes quite a few impurities, but we lowered its rating because it's not certified, some of the edges are rough, and some of the water passages look as if they were drilled by hand. The filter is covered in a fine layer of carbon dust, it doesn't have a protective foil seal or label of any kind, and the plain white box doesn't include any instructions.

If those details don't bother you, it's hard to find a better bargain.

 (more info) The GSWF should fit perfectly since GE Engineers designed both the filter system and the filter cartridge - there's no guesswork here. The name, part number, and specs are printed on the filter itself, rather than on a label - which gives it a more "polished" feel, and GE includes detailed specs, filter change instructions, and an actual NSF certification inside the box.

A great, no-compromise, genuine GE filter.
