- Water flows from the outside of the ceramic to the center, so particles collect on the outer surface where they can be wiped away
- Cold water only; do not freeze
- Handle carefully during cleaning; replace sooner if the element is cracked or chipped or cleaning no longer restores flow
- Not designed to reduce chlorine, chloramine, VOCs, lead or other dissolved metals, fluoride, nitrate, hardness or TDS
- Not a treatment for microbiologically unsafe or unknown-quality water
- A different medium from carbon block, GAC and SMART cartridges, so it does not replace those stages
