Description
This sealed Crystal Quest inline cartridge uses coconut shell granular activated carbon to reduce chlorine taste and odor, VOCs and pesticides. It is the replacement carbon stage for Crystal Quest water coolers and point-of-use reverse osmosis systems, with a connection at each end and no housing to open.
Highlights
- Coconut shell GAC reduces chlorine taste and odor, VOCs and pesticides
- Before an RO membrane, it converts free chlorine to chloride to protect the membrane
- After an RO storage tank, it reduces tastes and odors picked up in the tank
- Sealed inline design is replaced as one piece
- Typical replacement every 12 to 24 months, depending on the system
- Available as a single cartridge or in packs of 2 or 4
