GE Rebates Make This a Perfect Time to Make Sure Your Family Enjoys the Benefits of Refreshing Filtered Water
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(NYSE:GE) --- Small changes can make a big difference in your day, as you know if you've ever forgotten to adjust your clocks when Daylight Saving Time ends in the fall.
So remember to turn back the clocks on Nov. 7 --- and use the time change as a reminder to make another important change: replace your water filter.
Changing your refrigerator water filter every six months helps maintain clean, clear, better-tasting water and ice. And now through Nov. 29, you can purchase select GE SmartWater™ replacement filters and receive a VISA® prepaid card valued up to $20 by mail.*
But don't stop there. If your family's not already enjoying the convenience of filtered water straight from the tap, this is also a great time to look into a GE water filtering system for your kitchen, bath or whole home.
The benefits of bottled water, without the cost: Filtered water systems
Fresh water is essential to health, and filtered water systems are an increasingly popular way to enjoy the benefits of water without the cost of buying it in bottles. A recent Gallup survey reported a 40 percent increase from 2004 to 2009 in drinking filtered tap water.
GE water filtration provides great-tasting water for drinking, cooking and making beverages, such as coffee, tea or juices.
Thanks to GE, you can not only quench your thirst, but also feel good about helping reduce the billions of plastic water bottles that are disposed of each year. By using a GE Reverse Osmosis system, you can save money while helping the environment by reducing plastic water bottle purchases. The GE Reverse Osmosis system provides an amount of filtered water comparable to 5,760 bottles of water.**
GE offers a range of water filtration systems, so you can choose the one that best fits your budget and needs.
