Description
This Crystal Quest cartridge pairs SMART filtration media with calcite and magnesium oxide, so one housing reduces chlorine and chloramine while adding calcium and magnesium to the water. It comes in four sizes for countertop, under-sink and whole house housings.
Highlights
- Calcite and magnesium oxide add calcium and magnesium and raise alkalinity
- Coconut shell GAC and catalytic GAC reduce chlorine, chloramine and related taste and odor
- ERA 6500 and 9500 copper-zinc media and ion-exchange resin carried over from the SMART blend
- Four sizes from 2-7/8" x 9-3/4" to 4-5/8" x 20" to fit common housings
- Available as a single cartridge or in packs of 2 or 4
Details
Avermont Direct is an authorized Crystal Quest dealer. This cartridge suits households that want chlorine and chloramine reduction along with added calcium and magnesium from a single housing. Check that your system calls for this combination cartridge rather than a standard SMART cartridge before ordering.
