Bone char performs well in neutral to slightly acidic water, and a slower flow gives the media more contact time. Standard SMART positions, reverse osmosis pre-filters and whole house RO stages normally take a standard SMART cartridge unless the system calls for this combination. The cartridge is built in the USA under ISO 9001 quality management.\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":50895847489584,"sku":"CQE-RC-04152","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-7\/8\" x 9-3\/4\" \/ Pack of 2","offer_id":50895847522352,"sku":"CQE-RC-04152-2PK","price":138.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-7\/8\" x 9-3\/4\" \/ Pack of 4","offer_id":50895847555120,"sku":"CQE-RC-04152-4PK","price":276.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-7\/8” x 20” \/ Single","offer_id":50895847587888,"sku":"CQE-RC-04153","price":168.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-7\/8” x 20” \/ Pack of 2","offer_id":50895847620656,"sku":"CQE-RC-04153-2PK","price":336.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-7\/8” x 20” \/ Pack of 4","offer_id":50895847653424,"sku":"CQE-RC-04153-4PK","price":672.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 9-3\/4” \/ Single","offer_id":50895847686192,"sku":"CQE-RC-04154","price":176.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 9-3\/4” \/ Pack of 2","offer_id":50895847718960,"sku":"CQE-RC-04154-2PK","price":352.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 9-3\/4” \/ Pack of 4","offer_id":50895847751728,"sku":"CQE-RC-04154-4PK","price":704.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 20” \/ Single","offer_id":50895847784496,"sku":"CQE-RC-04155","price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 20” \/ Pack of 2","offer_id":50895847817264,"sku":"CQE-RC-04155-2PK","price":498.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5\/8” x 20” \/ Pack of 4","offer_id":50895847850032,"sku":"CQE-RC-04155-4PK","price":996.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/4646\/0720\/files\/smart-calcium-gac-fluoride-reduction-cartridge-crystal-quest-water-filter-cartridges-1263260571.webp?v=1793072101","url":"https:\/\/avermontdirect.com\/products\/smart-calcium-gac-fluoride-reduction-cartridge","provider":"Avermont Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
