PROTECTION FOR YOUR PLUMBING AND WATER-USING APPLIANCES
-
Which size fits your plumbing and filtration needs?
They come in two sizes: standard or large-capacity. Standard capacity is for 3/4" plumbing and large capacity is for 1" plumbing. Large capacity systems allow for greater water flow throughout the home.
-
What do you want to reduce?
Match the icons on the packaging to your family's filtration needs.
-
Different filters have different micron ratings.
Micron ratings refer to the amount of particles your filter will reduce, like sediment. Filters with smaller micron ratings remove more particles. If your water contains a lot of particles, you'll have to change your filter more often. E.g., The average diameter of a human hair is 70 microns.
-
How often do you want to change filters?
Filters last for either 3 months or 6 months.
Filter types are indicated by icons representing: [sediment icon], [chlorine taste & odor icon].
MICRON RATINGS: <1, 5, 10, 20, 25, 30, 35. Images don't represent actual size.
