GE GXWH40L Water Filter Cover for UV & Algae Protection

The Ultimate UV Shield: Eliminate Algae Growth and Protect Your High-Flow GE System And Your Health.

If your GE GXWH40L High-Flow System is installed in a location with any exposure to sunlight, it is vulnerable to a common but frustrating problem: algae blooms. While the GXWH40L’s signature clear sump is excellent for monitoring filter life, it acts like a greenhouse in outdoor installations or even near windows and doors, allowing algae to thrive inside your housing.

Our custom-engineered Filter Cover is specifically designed to fit the unique dimensions of the GXWH40L, providing a 100% light-blocking barrier that stops algae growth in its tracks while protecting your investment from the elements.

Precision Fit for the GXWH40L System The GE GXWH40L is a heavy-duty, high-flow system with a large 15.75" height and a 9" depth. Our Filter Cover is tailored to wrap securely around the GXWH40L housing, ensuring that every inch of the clear sump is shielded from UV rays without interfering with any plumbing connections or the top-mounted pressure relief valve.

Stops Algae Before it Starts Algae requires photosynthesis to grow. When your clear filter housing is placed in the sun, it creates the perfect environment for green film to develop on your filter cartridge (FXHTC or FXHSC). This build-up doesn't just look unappealing—it can clog your filter prematurely, restrict your water flow, and cause unpleasant odors. By blocking light, this cover ensures your water stays crystal clear and your filters last their full lifespan.

Engineered for Extreme Conditions Installations with any sunlight exposure subject your GE system to more than just light. UV rays can make the plastic housing brittle over time, and temperature fluctuations can stress the unit. Our Filter Cover is made from professional-grade, UV-stabilized material that acts as an insulating layer. It shields the white-on-white unit head and the clear sump from sun damage, cracking, and fading, significantly extending the life of the entire filtration assembly.

Maintenance Made Simple The GXWH40L is designed for easy maintenance, and our cover follows that same philosophy. It features a user-friendly design that allows you to quickly slide the cover off when it’s time to check or replace your filter. You retain all the convenience of the GE system while gaining a massive advantage in water purity.
