CuZn Chrome Counter Top Refillable Water Filter

A Great Water Filter For Home Or Office. An excellent choice if you have a severe water problem like iron or sulfur and can't have a Whole-House system. What it does Clean water is the lifeline to good health and CuZn Refillable 101 Filters provide the best possible water for cooking, drinking, and washing every time you turn on the faucet. Using a combination of trace minerals (copper and zinc in the patented form of KDF which meets NSF standards 42 and 61) and coconut shell carbon, the systems filter more than 600 contaminants from water, including chlorine, lead, heavy metals, trihalomethanes, herbicides, and pesticides much the same as Nature uses the earth and its minerals to cleanse water. (Unlike carbon-only filters, bacteria can't grow inside the bacteriostatic CuZn filters!) The Refillable 101 series is also excellent in situations where sulfur and iron are present and a CuZn Whole House system is not feasible. Sulfur and iron expends the media more quickly than other contaminants, so refilling the system is economical and environmentally responsible. How to use The Refillable Countertop 101 (CT-101) system treats all incoming cold water that goes to the kitchen sink. Turn on your cold water faucet for an uninterrupted supply of fresh, clear, filtered water. The Countertop 101 can also filter hot water, provided it is flushed with cold water afterward to release the heat that would otherwise be trapped within the filter housing. The Countertop 101 is available with a swivel spout (CT-101S) or double diverter (CT-101D). Filtered water comes through the spout on the CT-101S. the double diverter on the CT-101D has a twin-hose set-up so that water enters the filter from the kitchen faucet, goes through the filter, and then returns to the kitchen faucet where it is released. The advantage of the double diverter model is that the filter body can be set back away from the sink. The swivel spout, however, allows taller glasses and pots to be placed under it to catch the water.
