Dissolved iron is most common in groundwater with a pH below 7.0. This cartridge is the first stage in Crystal Quest Metal Removal Mini, Compact and Big Blue cartridge systems, and the 2-7\/8\" x 9-3\/4\" size also fits countertop and under-sink housings that accept it. Very high iron or a strong sulfur smell calls for a backwashing tank system instead, so choose the size that matches the cartridge you use now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNeed Help?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree shipping on orders over $200\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have questions about this product before you order, our team is happy to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmail: \u003ca href=\"mailto:support@avermontdirect.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003esupport@avermontdirect.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPhone: \u003ca href=\"tel:+18444553695\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e+1 (844) 455-3695\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHours: Monday–Friday, 9AM–5PM\u003cbr\u003e\nLive Chat: Available 24\/7\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Quest","offers":[{"title":"2-7\/8\" x 9-3\/4\" \/ Single","offer_id":50895722119216,"sku":"CQE-RC-04010","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-7\/8\" x 9-3\/4\" \/ Pack of 2","offer_id":50895722151984,"sku":"CQE-RC-04010-2PK","price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-7\/8\" x 9-3\/4\" \/ Pack of 4","offer_id":50895722184752,"sku":"CQE-RC-04010-4PK","price":196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-7\/8” x 20” \/ Single","offer_id":50895722217520,"sku":"CQE-RC-04083","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-7\/8” x 20” \/ Pack of 2","offer_id":50895722250288,"sku":"CQE-RC-04083-2PK","price":258.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-7\/8” x 20” \/ Pack of 4","offer_id":50895722283056,"sku":"CQE-RC-04083-4PK","price":516.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 9-3\/4” \/ Single","offer_id":50895722315824,"sku":"CQE-RC-04072","price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 9-3\/4” \/ Pack of 2","offer_id":50895722348592,"sku":"CQE-RC-04072-2PK","price":268.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 9-3\/4” \/ Pack of 4","offer_id":50895722381360,"sku":"CQE-RC-04072-4PK","price":536.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 20” \/ Single","offer_id":50895722414128,"sku":"CQE-RC-04077","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 20” \/ Pack of 2","offer_id":50895722446896,"sku":"CQE-RC-04077-2PK","price":378.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 20” \/ Pack of 4","offer_id":50895722479664,"sku":"CQE-RC-04077-4PK","price":756.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/4646\/0720\/files\/iron-filter-cartridge-crystal-quest-water-filter-cartridges-1263260641.webp?v=1793071666","url":"https:\/\/avermontdirect.com\/products\/iron-filter-cartridge","provider":"Avermont Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
