Description
This Crystal Quest cartridge combines iron hydroxide arsenic media with SMART redox and carbon media in one shell. It targets arsenic V and arsenic III, measured against a U.S. drinking water standard of 10 ppb, and is rated from 500 to 3,000 gallons depending on size.
Highlights
- Eagle Arsenic Oxide media adsorbs both arsenate (arsenic V) and arsenite (arsenic III)
- Granular activated carbon adsorbs chlorine, taste and odor compounds and organic chemicals
- ERA 6500 and ERA 9500 copper-zinc redox media address chlorine, ferrous iron and hydrogen sulfide
- One cartridge replaces separate arsenic and SMART stages in systems that specify this combination
- Four sizes from 0.5 to 6 GPM for countertop, under-sink and whole house housings
Details
Avermont Direct is an authorized Crystal Quest dealer. Arsenic occurs naturally in rock and soil and can reach private wells without any taste, color or smell, so testing treated water is how you know when this cartridge is spent. No universal calendar interval applies, so plan service around your source water and usage.

- SMART media capabilities (chlorine, low-level ferrous iron and hydrogen sulfide, some heavy metals and dissolved organics) were not separately tested for this cartridge
- Not designed to treat bacteria, viruses, fluoride, nitrate, hardness or TDS
- Not a drop-in for every SMART position: standard SMART positions and RO pre-filters take a standard SMART cartridge unless the system calls for this combination
- For two-housing systems, a standalone SMART cartridge followed by a standalone Arsenic Removal cartridge is an alternative
- If testing shows mostly arsenic III, high iron or pH outside the normal range, contact us before choosing
- Choose the size printed on your current cartridge
- Made in the USA under ISO 9001 quality management
