... TYPE OF FILTER
This is a 3 canister countertop water filter that attaches to your kitchen faucet.
... FOR WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES?
Anyone can use this, but because it simply screws onto the kitchen faucet (no plumbing installation), people in apartments generally get a countertop unit. This is a water filter for municipal water supplies that fluoridates and adds ammonia to the chlorine. (You want EITHER a chloramine-removing filter, or a chlorine-removing filter.)
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN FILTRATION BETWEEN UNDER COUNTER AND COUNTER TOP FILTERS.
... WHAT IS FILTERED?
Sometimes people ask what is the best filter. It depends upon your situation. If you are in a municipality with chloramines, this is the best kitchen filter.
This 3-canister fluoride water filter is designed to remove CHLORAMINES in addition to FLUORIDE and all the other things you want to remove from your municipal water supply. Based on tests of these filter materials combined, we now understand that these filters are likely to remove some 95% of chloramine!
All materials in the filters we sell have been tested and certified by the NSF.
The materials in this filter are also formulated to take out by-products, mtbe, perchlorate, heavy metals like lead, chromium, sediment, pesticides, herbicides, algae, molds, hormones, scale, bad taste, odors and hundreds of contaminants.
To see a sample list of contaminants filtered in addition to chloramine and fluoride, see What Is Filtered? .
These are the right materials to work on each of the categories of contaminant. Bacteria cannot grow in the carbon because of copper-zinc. These have the right filter materials and more of it than others, which results in more filtration.
... HOW DO THEY WORK?
Water flows freely through the filter materials, which remove contaminants. These filters are made from a variety of filter materials selected to address the issues you might have with municipal water.
This unit delivers 8 Stage Filtering: One canister has a sediment filter and removes fluoride. The next canister has a sediment filter, kdf formulated to remove chloramines, and a pound of catalytic carbon, shown to be best for chloramines. The third canister has two sediment filters (at start and end), kdf to remove free chlorine, heavy metals. other chemical contaminants and more, and a full pound of top-quality granulated coconut carbon for organic compounds including chlorination by-products, organic-based drugs, hormones and mtbe. This adds up to a great sweep of all types of contaminants.
Filtration happens in many different ways, including 'pore opening', magnetics, catalytic action using reduction-oxidation, electroplating, ion exchange, reshaping of hardness ions and adsorption. An environment harmful to bacteria, algae and fungus is created. The water acts softer.
Takes out the bad and leaves the healthy trace elements your body needs.
Water flow is excellent.
