Enjoy convenient filtered water right at your kitchen tap with the KDF/GAC Countertop Water Filter. This compact system connects to most kitchen faucets and provides water for drinking and cooking without a permanent undercounter installation. It's a practical option for apartments, dorms, RVs and travel.
Leaves beneficial minerals intact: calcium and magnesium stay in your water.
What It Removes
The KDF/GAC cartridge removes chlorine, lead, chemicals and heavy metals. Its integrated 1-micron absolute prefilter can capture cysts, including Cryptosporidium and Giardia.
How It Works
The included diverter valve replaces your faucet's aerator. In its regular position, water flows straight through the valve's own aerator. For filtered water, turn on the cold water and pull out the diverter knob. Water is routed through the filter and dispensed through the system's swivel spout.
The KDF/GAC filtration has been tested to NSF-53 protocol by an independent laboratory. Learn more about the NSF-53 test protocol. Testing to a protocol is distinct from certification of the complete system.
Installation and Everyday Use
The unit sits on your countertop and connects to most kitchen faucets. Two diverter adapters are included to help with faucet connection. Keep filtered water close at hand for filling a glass, preparing meals or making your favorite cold-water drinks.
The spout, diverter valve and connectors are lead-free chromed brass components described as NSF approved.

Warranty and Sediment Considerations
3-year prorated warranty on the cartridge; 5-year warranty on components.
The warranty does not cover sediment clogging. If your municipal water contains a high level of sediment, consider the double countertop filter for high-sediment water to help protect against clogging. New York City area water is noted as a potential concern in this regard.
