GE Opal Filters and Cleaning Parts: XPIO13SWSS vs XPIO13SCSS

Exact official filter and cleaning-part matches for the current Opal 2.0 Ultra XPIO13SWSS and legacy Opal 2.0 XPIO13SCSS.

The ownership decision

Use P4INKSFLTR when the exact machine is XPIO13SWSS and you want the Ultra's scale-inhibiting filter. The older XPIO13SCSS names P4INKFILTR as its carbon filter. Both still require cleaning and descaling; a filter is not a substitute for sanitation.

Why this page exists

Match the suffix before the part.

GE uses closely related Opal names across different suffixes, tanks and filter generations. The model code on the machine—not the words “Opal 2.0” alone—should drive every accessory purchase.

This ownership page separates filtration from cleaning. The filter affects incoming water; the cleaning kit and descaling powder address the wet internal system and mineral buildup.

01 · Exact model

GE Profile Opal 2.0 Ultra XPIO13SWSS

XPIO13SWSS

This Ultra model includes the scale-inhibiting filter system and a reusable air filter. GE lists both scale and carbon filter accessories on the exact parts page.

Open the canonical product record

Schedule

  • GE recommends replacing P4INKSFLTR approximately every three months for best results.
  • Clean and descale according to the owner guidance and local water hardness; the scale filter only extends time between maintenance.
  • Inspect and clean the reusable air filter instead of treating it as a disposable water filter.

Do not mix up

  • A scale-inhibiting filter does not sanitize the reservoir, bin or internal water path.
  • Confirm XPIO13SWSS on the machine label before buying a multi-pack.
02 · Exact model

GE Profile Opal 2.0 XPIO13SCSS

XPIO13SCSS

GE's exact legacy-model parts page names the P4INKFILTR carbon filter and Opal cleaning supplies. Do not assume the Ultra's included scale-filter setup applies.

Open the canonical product record

Schedule

  • Follow the exact XPIO13SCSS support instructions for cleaning and descaling frequency.
  • Check current filter and cleaning-part availability before choosing this legacy model over the Ultra.

Do not mix up

  • GE lists XPIO13SCSS manufacture ending in April 2026; a live retailer offer may be remaining inventory.
  • Similar Opal names are not evidence of identical filter hardware.

Compatibility standard

Manufacturer source or no match.

We publish a part code only when an official product, parts or manual page connects it to the exact machine. Prices and stock are intentionally omitted because no approved live-price system is connected.
