Product review (5 stars): Great Replacement for the GE GXRLQR (and others)
This appears to be an exact replacement for the GE GXRLQR.  I have always been amazed at the high prices of these types of filters for the refrigerator (the OEM brand ones), so I thought I would shop around a bit to see what else was out there. I found the Aquacrest brand at a significantly lower price and thought - why not give it a try.

I installed it recently and it fit perfectly.  No leaks, no problems.  It is recommended you cycle about 4 gallons of water through the filter once you put it in place just to flush out any carbon "fines" that may be in the filter.  For me that was going to be a real chore, since in this fridge the only thing that the filter is servicing is the ice maker and I didn't really have any way to flush it.  I did try to fill and empty the filter at the kitchen sink a few times to remove any particles (they are harmless by the way), but again didn't meet with much success, so just went ahead and put it in place and will empty the first few loads of ice.  They also include a set of sticker that you can use to mark the date on the filter to help remind you when to change it - they recommend every 6 months (or 300 gallons).

I do believe this will work just as well as the much higher priced OEM filter for the purpose of making ice.
