Using the Water Filtration System and About the Filter Cartridge
The countertop faucet dispenses filtered drinking water when opened. It has a
Filter Cartridge

is in the water. | ||

No matter which Water Filtration system you have, you should replace the cartridges every six months. In extremely poor water supplies, you may notice the return of the unwanted substance in your water before the six months are up. In this case the cartridges should be replaced immediately. If the system is also for lead or chemical contaminant removal, it is MORE IMPORTANT to replace the cartridges at least every six months.
NOTE: If the water supply contains high amounts of sediments, the carbon filters may plug prematurely, reducing filtered water flow to the system faucet. Cartridge replacement is needed to restore flow.

Many bad tastes and/or odors are removed from water using activated carbon filter cartridges. They are most often used to remove a chlorine taste and odor. They can also reduce other undesirable elements from drinking water supplies, such as organic chemical contaminants and lead.
NOTE: Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (noticeable as “rotten egg” odor) may be reduced by taste and odor filters for a short time, but the carbon media is quickly exhausted. Other water conditioning equipment is usually required for the continuous treatment of hydrogen sulfide.
The Water Filtration system uses the following filter cartridges:
