What I'm wondering, since I really want to mount the filters in the
basement under the kitchen, and tee the icemaker into the filtered
water line to the sink, is can I do the same filtering job using
standard filter housings and cartridges, and maybe get a little longer
between cartridge changes, and not be tied to GE or Whirlpool
replacement cartridges?

Sure. I have mine in the basement too for the same reason. Easier to
change also. IMO, under sink is the last resort if you have another spot
easier to access.

OK, I guess I didn't ask the real question- what type housings and
cartridges will qive me equivalent performance to the ones I
mentioned? From what I've been able to see in the catalogs
(Grainger), it looks like a 5 micron and a .5 micron carbon block
would be equivalnet, but I'm really just guessing based on reading
what the above units calim to reduce, and what the cartridges claim to
reduce.
