Description
The Crystal Quest Faucet Mount Filter Cartridge (CQE-RC-04046) is the sealed six-stage replacement for the Crystal Quest Faucet Mount Water Filter System. Each cartridge is rated for approximately 2,000 gallons, or about 6 to 12 months of drinking and cooking water.
Highlights
- Six filtration stages reduce chlorine taste and odor, VOCs, THMs, heavy metals, sediment and rust
- Replaceable one-micron pre-filter pad on top catches particles first
- Reversible design lets you flip the cartridge to back-flush the media
- Approximately 2,000 gallons of capacity per cartridge
- Available single or in packs of 2, 4 or 6
Details
Avermont Direct is an authorized Crystal Quest dealer. About every three months you can flip the cartridge by moving the micron pad to the other end, reinstalling, and running water for 3 to 5 minutes. Replace the cartridge when chlorine taste or smell returns, or when flow stays slow after a new micron pad.
