This countertop KDF/GAC (KDF Media can remove up to 99% of water-soluble lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals) unit sits on the counter and easily connects to most any kitchen faucet. A diverter valve replaces the aerator on your faucet. In the regular position, water exits straight through its own aerator. When filtered water is desired, turn on the cold water and pull out on the diverter valve knob - water is routed through the filter and out its own swivel spout. Spout, diverter valve, and connectors are lead-free chromed brass - NSF-approved. Uses a replaceable cartridge (included), rated to treat 12,000 gallons. Cartridge has an intergrated 1 micron absolute prefilter that can capture cysts (cryptosporidium, giardia). Flow rate is .75 gallon per minute. Includes two diverter adapters, housing wrench and chlorine test strips to verify when it's time to replace cartridge. 12" high, 5" diameter. (KDF media inhibits bacteria growth throughout the entire unit).
2 year prorated warranty on cartridge, 5 year on components.
Please note our warranty does not cover sediment clogging. If your municipal water contains a high level of sediment, you should use a sediment prefilter or a double countertop filter in order to protect it from clogging. New York City area water is known to have this problem.
