GE Replacement O-Ring for At-Home Water Filtration System | Prevents Liquid from Leaking from 3/4" Sink & Water Filter System | Includes (2) Rings & (1) Tube of Silicone Lubricant

I replace the o-ring every other time I change the water filter, to prevent leaks. The package contains two sizes, which means you are throwing one away. I would prefer they packaged different sizes separately, which is why I only gave the product 4 stars.

Util para cuando presenta fugas o se estropea el sello del filtro, para evitar eso pongan grasa de silicon para que no se estire o reseque y selle aun mejor

The ring works fine, absolutely zero problem with that. However, if you go to the 2 pack where you think you're essentially getting two for the price of one, you're not. You're getting 3" rings! What's worse- you order the 6 pack they suggest like you're getting 6 of the item you searched and again- not the 6" diameter. So be very careful if you're ordering more than one and go down to the dimensions before adding to cart. Now we're stuck with 6 useless o rings and having to wait for the right one to come in. Yes, technically my fault but I don't know how many other people would assume buying a 2 pack or suggested 6 pack would be like "I should check in case this is a different size." So here's your warning and the seller needs to not include that two pack or very specifically mention it in the description.

First of all.... Grease that o ring and the grooves of the housing. Use all the enclosed grease as needed. The grease will repel the water. The o ring will expand to a diameter that will not stay in housing grooves IF,,,, not enough grease, orrrrr, if you HULK OUT on tightening the housing and crush the o ring. The o ring will stop the leaks if you just snug the canister when tightening. IF it is leaking.... remove pressure and loosen cannister slightly and retighten. IF YOU ,,,, Tighten with wrench,,, get your big boy pants on and get ready to hulk out to get it off at end of filter life. This is when I find the gasket is done and will not be reusable if over compressed. I change every 3 months and have a sediment filter in line to pre filter before the main filter. Really hard well water in Ohio. I can usually reuse the o ring 4 to 5 times. At first, years ago, I would only be able to reuse o ring 1 or 2 reuses. DON'T HULK OUT when tightening,,,, or you can ignore my advice and breakout your big boy pants on and bust a move Dude... housing or the wrench can break.... You Can Do Sparky!!! Russ D.
