Do we need a separate water shutoff valve for this water filter?

You will need to install a valve that supplies just the reverse osmossis system.

This comes with a "saddle valve", here is a link to the instructions so that you can see what needs to be done. Thank you.http://www.manualslib.com/manual/324445/Ge-Gxrm10rbl.html?page=5#manual

I don't own the water filter. I sent it back as the dome filter would not work. I am sure you need both filters.

I don't know. I use distilled water and that eliminates the need for a filter.

No I purchased a separate inline filter for it, the unit is great better than one we purchased through our R/O vendor.

You need a separate faucet. It comes with the filter. The first one leaked. I contacted the seller and they sent a different type. It does not leak.

Yes, this is what you need to shut off the water (in my case the main valve is next to the water meter) at the curb.

Your assumption is correct, and it is necessary. I found the will have a tendency to overflow the primary tank, especially if you remove the cap. I used a differn't gate valve because of my configuration

Depends on whether you have soft water or not. I have soft water that runs through the filter. After one year the build up was almost nothing to be concerned with...........so I kept the original installed. But, I keep an eye on it monthly and replace it with a new filter that I bought via Amazon for $13.00 (just in case). On the other hand, a person I know has hard water and the filter has to be replaced yearly to include the automatic water shut off valve.

Hi Alan. To be honest, I think the addition of a shut-off valve would be over-engineering this shower head. I initially purchased this shower head so that the wife and I didn't have to take turns standing in the water when we showered together :) When I'm rolling solo, I typically point the two heads toward each other so that they converge into a single stream. The addition of a shut-off valve would unlikely improve water pressure very noticeably, and any reduction in volume of water used would be negligible. That's just my two cents. Good luck.

As I remember NO so I added the brass shutoff valve to also select amt of water flowing thru brush anyway.

Yes, you will need to purchase the washing machine valve adapters to go from copper pipe to this replacement shutoff valve. If you were going from an existing shutoff valve to this new one, you would not have to.

The package I received has an adapter, a t-connector, and two hoses that screw right up to your existing shutoff valve. Be sure to find the little plastic white washer that fits inside the female end that screws onto the shutoff valve. For some reason it was in a separate package. Anyway, connections can be installed with a little more than hand tightening due to the good seals from the built in gaskets in the rest of the hardware and included filter. Shouldn't take more than 30-45 minutes for install.

yes. But, I do not recommend this item. We bought 2 and neither one works properly with or without the filter. We used their old style water system for years but it has been discontinued.

As I recall, the diverter valve has a female threading and may connect to your faucet without an adapter. I do not understand your question about your water filter threading. The diverter valve connects to the water filter by a plastic hose that connects to the valve at the compression connection that you can see in the photo of the valve.

there is one included to run the unit, but once the filter is full it will eventually need to be replaced

Yes the part on the left in the picture is the shut off valve. This one is better than others I have bought.

Yes, there is another filter you can purchase for it. I did, and have not had to use it yet.
