How does a countertop water filter system work?

A countertop water filter system uses various filtration methods, such as granular activated carbon, KDF-55 and ceramic, to remove impurities from tap water. The water passes through the filtration media, which captures contaminants like chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, and bacteria, providing you with cleaner and healthier drinking water.

What contaminants can a countertop water filter system remove?

Countertop water filter systems can effectively remove common contaminants found in tap water, including chlorine, sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), lead, mercury, cysts, and other harmful substances. The specific contaminants removed depend on the type of filtration technology used in the system.

How often should I replace the filters in a countertop water filter system?

The replacement frequency of filters varies depending on the quality of the feed water and the usage. Generally, carbon filters should be replaced every 3 to 6 months. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for filter replacement to maintain optimal filtration performance.

Can a countertop water filter system remove fluoride?

The countertop systems cannot remove fluoride. To reduce fluoride, you will need a reverse osmosis system. Also our 3 stage under the counter system(MR-2033) is capable of reducing fluoride up to 90%. Our 3 stage whole house system(MR-3030) can also reduce fluoride for the entire home.

How do I install a countertop water filter system?

Installing a countertop water filter system is typically straightforward and does not require professional plumbing. Most systems connect directly to your existing faucet using a diverter valve or an adapter. You will usually need to follow the provided instructions. We also have a YouTube tutorial.

Are countertop water filter systems cost-effective?

Countertop water filter systems are generally considered cost-effective compared to other types of filtration systems. They are often more affordable upfront than under-sink or whole-house systems. However, it's important to consider the long-term costs associated with filter replacements. It's recommended to compare the initial purchase price, filter replacement costs, and expected lifespan of the system to determine the overall cost-effectiveness for your specific needs.

How much alkaline is added to the water from the RF-1050 cartridge?

4 ppm of calcium, magnesium and potassium with an average of 21.8 mg/l

Can the RF-1015 (fluoride reduction cartridge) be used with a single stage countertop?

No, you cannot. The activated alumina makes the water cloudy, so you need to have a carbon block after the RF-1015 to remove the cloudiness. The RF-1015 can only be used with a dual countertop.

Why are there small black particles in my water?

The small black particles are loose carbon particles. Sometimes particles of carbon can get into the water. To fix the issue, simply leave the system running for about 10-15 minutes. This will thoroughly flush the system and get rid of the loose carbon.
