GE water filtration system removes trace pharmaceuticals

GE Appliances claims to offer 'the most advanced water filtration system in the industry' as part of its recently launched French door refrigerators.

The company says that this first-of-its-kind water filtration system has been tested and verified by an independent third party to remove 98% of five trace pharmaceuticals, including ibuprofen, atenolol, fluoxetine, progesterone and trimethoprim, from water and ice.

Water filtration systems are available on all GE, GE Café and GE Profile-branded French door refrigerators. The estimated retail price ranges from $1,699 to $2,999.
