By using parts sourced from Taiwan, we can reduce the price of this cartridge.
Although the price is more favourable, the performance and consistency of the cartridge is not as good as the American sourced cartridges.
Whereas the slimline cartridges below are Bacteriostatic GAC & KDF, this cartridge is made from coconut fibre. It is still very effective at improving the flavour of drinking water, but will promote the growth of bacteria within the cartridge if not replaced at least annually.
They should be purchased for taste and odour improvement only. For reliable removal of chemicals choose the GAC/KDF 30/1 cartridge.
