    Best Used With

    • A 20 micron or 5 micron sediment pre-filter to remove larger suspended particles and maximise cartridge life.

    • As part of a multi-stage filtration system for comprehensive sediment, heavy metal, chlorine, taste, and odour reduction.

    Not Suitable For

    • Bacteria or virus removal without additional disinfection.

    • Water softening or hardness reduction.

    • Heavy sediment loads without a suitable sediment pre-filter.

    • Microbiologically unsafe water without appropriate treatment before or after filtration.
