Hardness and scale reduction

Weak acid ion-exchange resin reduces calcium and magnesium ions to help prevent hard-scale formation.

Chlorine taste and odor reduction

Premium activated carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor and bitterness associated with poor water quality.

Built-in bypass

The bypass directs 75% of inlet water through the media and allows 25% to pass through untreated.

Valve-in-head design

The design simultaneously shuts off and vents water for cartridge changeouts without shutting off the upstream feed water.

Sanitary Quick Change cartridge

The encapsulated cartridge design supports fast changeouts with a quarter-turn and requires no contact with the filter media.

Espresso application

Designed for espresso and espresso-based drinks.

Plumbing connections

Horizontal 3/8-inch FNPT inlet and outlet ports allow direct or adaptable connections to existing plumbing lines.

Material compliance

System materials are stated as NSF and/or FDA CFR-21 compliant.
