Kitchen Chrome Countertop Water Filter with 1 Micron Carbon Block Filter

Kitchen Chrome Countertop Water Filter with 1 Micron Carbon Block Filter

The Countertop Chrome Superior water filtrations systems are stylish and a great water filter value, designed for chlorine treated water supplies – typically provides excellent filtration of up to 2500 gallons at an affordable price. Outstanding performance is achieved by using a replaceable 1.0 micron Solid Carbon Block filter cartridge. This cartridge removes particulates as small as 1.0 micron and filters chlorine taste and odor, sediment, rust, and particulate matter for sweet, clear, great-tasting water.

Our Solid Carbon Block filters flow in the radial (outside-to-inside) direction, providing increased dirt capacity and low pressure drop. Unlike granular activated carbon (GAC) water filters, solid carbon block cartridges will not channel or bypass, due to the extreme uniformity of their extruded activated carbon core. Poor water quality may reduce lifespan of filters.

Made in the U.S.A.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great value, easy to install
I was a bit wary about this filter when I bought it because I couldn’t find installation instructions anywhere.

Here’s the deal: you remove the unit from it’s package, remove the aerator that should already be on your faucet, screw on the units custom aerator (which connects to the filter via thin tubing), arrange the filter where you’d like it to sit, and that’s it. You’re done. Water is shunted through the filter by employing the metallic switch on the side of the aerator (by pulling it out).

It’s very simple which is probably why no one mentions exactly how this thing works.

Last but not least, tap water tastes much, much better filtered through this device. Or rather, the absence of taste is what’s notable.

Bottom line: fantastic filter at a very reasonable price.

5 Stars Looks, works and tastes great
I bought this filter after the water dispenser in my refrigerator died. It looks great on my countertop and produces very fresh-tasting “polished” water from my tap, without a trace of chlorine. Coffee and orange juice from frozen concentrate made with this water taste great — I even use the water in my humidifier, which makes the air in my house feel fresher, too. Installation was fairly easy, the unit comes with several faucet adapters, as well as a large plastic wrench for removing the hood to change filters. It feels light right out of the box but once there’s residual water in it from use it’s quite stable. I thought the hose from the faucet to the filter might get in the way when swinging the faucet from side-to-side but that hasn’t been the case — it’s long enough to allow the filter to sit next to my standard-size sink with no tugging. Water flow from the filter is very good, it fills a gallon pitcher in about 30 seconds (compared to my refrigerator, which took more than a minute just to fill a large glass). The valve that diverts water from the faucet to the filter works flawlessly, but expect a little drippage from the filter spout for a few minutes after use (not a big deal). I can’t verify the claims for what chemicals the filter is actually removing from my water (other Web sites say it reduces 97% of lead, mercury, etc.), but the taste of my tap water is greatly improved.

5 Stars Great product
I am very happy with this product.Was very easy to install and my tap water that used to taste very bad doesn’t have any taste any more.

5 Stars Worth the investment
I switched from a Brita faucet-mounted water filter to this one. Though the initial investment is greater, it is well worth the money for the ease of use and installation this product offers, as well as its longevity. The faucet-mounted filters tend to break or need replacement yearly, and the filter needs replacement yearly for this countertop model. The price of replacing a faucet mounted filter and replacing the filter for this countertop are nearly identical. The countertop offers a much faster flow of water, much easier operation, and it does not take up room in a small sink when you’re trying to wash dishes. The spout is movable (though it cannot be separated from the body) which is a huge help when you’re trying to fill something tall like a pitcher, or when you’re trying to get a drink of water and your sink is full of dishes that will splash the water around. The unit is fairly large, but attractive. The water tastes very bright and clear. This unit is worth the extra bit of money for a more permanent solution to gross tasting water.

5 Stars easy salution
We are happy with the filter. We have old pipes with heavy and a heavy sediment problem. The filter was a great solution to the constant purchasing of bottled water. It was super easy to install and the filter lasted well over a year. I did have to replace the faucet adapter after a year because the sediment clogged the valve. It was easy to find at a local plumbing store. One trip was still a hell of a lot easier than hauling bottles of water every couple weeks and then dealing with the recycling center.
