Filter Description

Filter Bypass for GE RPWFE®

Fits refrigerators made by GE which use the proprietary "RPWFE" filter with RFID microchip. Old part number WR17X23645 is replaced by new part number WR01X29059.

This filter bypass is shipped with every new refrigerator - but homeowners often throw them away assuming they won't be needed in the future.
Use this filter bypass in place of the original filter. The filter bypass comes in handy if you wish to run an external water filtration system (like a reverse osmosis system) or if you wish to "bypass" the high cost of the RPWFE filter.

Use if plumbing externally filtered water to the fridge (reverse osmosis system, whole house filtration system)
Insures fast flow of water to the fridge for icemaking and water dispensing
Includes microchip which communicates with the refrigerator. If the bypass is in use - refrigerator will indicate that it is "not filtering"
Replaces part number WR17X23645

Carbon Filtration

Activated Block Carbon Technology

The uses activated block carbon technology. Carbon is one of the most adsorptive substances, and its numerous and microscopic pores make it capable of adsorbing many microscopic contaminants. Adsorption is a chemical bond between the surface of the carbon and a molecule (contaminant).

  • Activated carbon is a carbonaceous, highly porous adsorptive medium that has a complex structure composed primarily of carbon atoms. The networks of pores in activated carbons are channels created within a rigid skeleton of disordered layers of carbon atoms, linked together by chemical bonds, stacked unevenly, creating a highly porous structure between the carbon layers. Activated carbon is able to attract and capture a whole host of contaminants, including chlorine and other organic chemical compounds.
  • Activated carbon means that the carbon has been treated at 1000°C with steam molecules to selectively burn holes into the carbonized raw material, creating a multitude of pores inside the carbonaceous matrix. This process creates so much surface area that a teaspoon of activated carbon has roughly the same surface area as a soccer field!
  • Activated block carbon, then, with its use of adsorption, is one of the most effective water filtration methods in use today.

Ordered this by mistake. Product was 100% OK. Customer service was amazing! Highly recommend this company and their products!

It works beautify. The original filter was to much resistance for my low pressure R.O. system to provide filtered water to my fridges water dispenser. The GE RPWFE solved the problem.

Replaces RPWFE filter requiring the RFID. The water pressure from the dispenser is quite strong with this bypass installed. But if you don't need water filtering at the refrigerator this is a option to the expensive filters that eventually clog up and reduce flow.

Cheaper than using regular filters where they are not needed in the refrigerator.
