what is the micron level for this filter?

Im not sure. I live in the country and use well water. So, this one (The GE) I was hoping for about 20 micron, then I have two more smaller ones after that one is 10 micron and the other is 3. If you are on city water anything is better than nothing and when you get ready to replace either Home Depot or Ace Hardware will have an assortment, marked as to what size they are. As far as getting the filter off, I dont have a clue. Two or three changes and it becomes very difficult to remove. Ive tried teflon tape, petroleum jelly and a liquid silicone. Nothing helps. One of the parts should be made of metal. The two plastic parts make for some difficult times in removing the old filter. Buy some extra O rings so you can change them out when the original becomes stretched, and it will.

I know it removes chlorine odor and taste but are there dangerous elements of chlorine not removed by this filter ?

The FXHTC filters at 25 microns. Chlorine taste and odor are greatly reduced. The filter is not designed to be used with microbiologically unsafe water. As far as the particulates contained in chlorine treated water, you will need to check with the manufacturer (GE).

Does any one know how many microns this filter is??

will this work on ge gxwh30c01

This filter will work on the GE GXWH30C. I am not sure that the #01 at the end is significant. The filter is approximately 4" in diameter, about nine inches long.
