- Does it remove lead from drinking water?
- Yes. The carbon block filter is rated to reduce lead along with chlorine taste and odor. It is not a reverse-osmosis system, so it does not remove everything dissolved in water.
- Will it fit my faucet?
- It fits most standard threaded faucets with a removable aerator. Pull-down, pull-out and some designer spouts need an adapter or will not work.
- How often do I change the filter?
- About every 100 gallons, or roughly two to three months for a typical household. Heavy use shortens that.
- Does it need electricity or plumbing work?
- No. It runs on water pressure and attaches directly to the faucet, so there is nothing to wire or plumb.
- How is it different from a pitcher filter?
- It filters on demand at the tap, so there is no waiting for a pitcher to fill and no fridge space used. Filter life and contaminant reduction are similar.
- Can I switch between filtered and unfiltered water?
- Yes. A lever lets you send water through the filter for drinking or straight through for washing dishes.
