H2 Prefilter System For City Water with Fluoride

The capacity of each filter inside the housing varies according to usage and source water (see specific filter descriptions), but is likely to be good for about a year of use. The H2 is able to be customized, as described below.

Filter #1:  The Chlorine & Chloramine Prefilter [Unit Price: $69.95] which is a blend of activated carbon and KDF 55, super-carbon. This filter is composed of Granulated Active Carbon and Catalytic Carbon, AKA "Super-Carbon", or KDF 55. The most effective way to economically reduce chloramines is through the use of specially designed carbon (catalytic). Our high capacity filter has been designed for up to 1,500 gallons of use. Activated carbon is universally recognized and widely used as an effective adsorbent for a wide variety of organic contaminants, such as herbicides, pesticides, industrial chemicals, and trihalomethanes (THM's). Catalytic Carbon is extremely porous and even better than granular activated carbon [GAC]. It provides the largest surface area of any other filter for contaminants to collect and is the filtration media of choice for removing chloramine, chlorine, & many other toxins.

Filter # 2: Heavy Metal Reduction Cartridge, which contains both Activated Alumina and KDF 85.

Activated Alumina is the only reliable filter media for effective fluoride removal. This filter media will remove up to 99% of fluoride, arsenic, & lead. It does so by attracting the fluoride to it, chemically, at which time the fluoride is then trapped forever in the filter. Fluoride is such a small element that it even gets through reverse osmosis and distillation units, however it won't get through this filter once it's bonded to the activated alumina filter media [Unit Price: $39.95] Even if you're not concerned about fluoride, because you have well water you will still be likely to want the Activated Alumina filter, because it is the #1 filtration method for removal of arsenic [which is tasteless and can affect wells seasonally so does not always show up on tests.] It is also an excellent media for the removal of lead.

KDF 85, AKA the Sulphur/Iron and Manganese Prefilter. This filter media is great for eliminating pharmaceuticals and also utilizes carbon for the reduction of Chlorine, Taste, and Odor. [Unit Price: $89.95]

Note: Pre-filters usually need to be replaced every 1000 - 1500 gallons (about 1 year on average).
