You may be able to get a new o ring seal at your local Home Depot store but to get the exact one that you need you can phone the GE parts department at 1-604-941-1355 to order it. I hope this helps.

Hi SCJB,
The SKU for the FXHTC is 1000125664 and from what our computer tells us the following stores have the following stock:
7038- Brandon -16 qty
7056 - Crossroads (Winnipeg East)- 12 qty
7057- Polo Park (Winnipeg West)- 7 qty
7058- St.Vital - (Winnipeg South) 8 qty
7086- Winnipeg SW - 10 qty
7180 - Winnipeg North - 22 qty
I hope this helps.

The FXHSC and FXHTC filters are available for purchase in-store only. I hope this helps.

This depends on what is causing the brown water as this unit will reduce Chlorine (Taste & Odor), Sediment, Sand, Rust, Soil, and Silt when used with FXHSC or FXHTC. I hope this helps.

No. The water in must run vertically through the filter center and diffuse through the filter and out of the second out let. A horrizontal installation would not allow for the proper flow. Plus, you may experience a build up of particles inside the unit, creating further issues.

I would say yes because it is just a filtering system that is filtering the normal flow of water and does not require any extra mechanical function. The size may be a little large, however it would do the job.
