Description
The Crystal Quest Phosphate & Coconut Shell GAC Filter Cartridge blends polyphosphate and coconut shell granular activated carbon in one stage. The polyphosphate inhibits scale formation from hardness minerals, and the carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor.
Highlights
- Polyphosphate inhibits scale formation from hardness minerals without removing them
- Coconut shell GAC reduces chlorine taste and odor
- Hard, dense carbon with a high share of very small pores
- 1-micron pads behind the end-cap openings
- Typical replacement every 12 to 24 months, about 18 months for most homes
Details
Avermont Direct is an authorized Crystal Quest dealer. This cartridge fits Crystal Quest countertop, under-sink and whole house housings that specify phosphate and coconut shell GAC media. Actual life depends on feed water quality, system configuration and usage, so choose the size that matches the cartridge you use now.
