Quick and easy to install and use, this replacement cartridge is designed for the stylish, convenient and effective countertop unit. The fine-mesh pre-resin media process reduces fluorides tp below 0.5 ppm (parts per million). Capacity is up to 11,000 ppm with effluent levels below 0.2 ppm from 10 ppm feed. Note: high pH and high bicarbonate levels reduce capacity - above 100 ppm bicarbonate, reduction by 50%; above 200 ppm, reduction by 75%. Also effectively removes arsenic, mercury, chlorine, radon, lead and much more.
At the going rate of 99 cents for a quart of bottled water from a store, this $44.99 replacement cartridge can produce over $40,000 worth of delicious, purified, clear water from your very own home.

RESEARCH BRIEF

Arsenic Removal-
Inorganic arsenic (arsenite and arsenate) can be removed by this technology. The process is very pH sensitive and capacity decreases rapidly when the pH is below 5.5 or above 6.0. Arsenite is not removed nearly as well as arsenate; therefore, prechlorination to convert arsenite may be required. Arsenic removal is also affected by temperature and the TDS of the feedwater. Increasing temperature increases capacity while increased TDS decreases capacity.

Fluoride Removal-
Fluoride is removed by a chemical reaction with the media. The process is flow and pH sensitive. The best results are obtained when the flow is limited to about 1 GPM/cu.ft. and the pH is approximately 5.5. Higher flows and higher or lower pH can affect the fluoride removal capacity of all filtration systems.

Lead Removal-
Dissolved lead is absorbed by proper filtration and is not normally regenerable. Cpacity for lead is at least 0.4 lb. per cu.ft. while maintaining greater than 98% lead removal. This process is not dramatically affected by flow rate, temperature, or TDS. However,, pH should be maintained above 6.0 as lead removal drops under acidic conditions and below 10 as lead precipitates under base conditions.
