This filter reduces chlorine taste and odor, water-soluble heavy metals, and controls scale, bacteria, and algae in your water.

Scale Reduction Importance

Scale build up is caused by minerals in your water bonding to one another and creating clusters which can negatively affect water flow, water using appliances, and the effectiveness of soaps and detergents. By exchanging electrons with some of these minerals your cartridge will help reduce this build up and help improve your water quality. If you are in need of heavy scale reduction and have high levels calcium and magnesium in your water you may want to check out a whole home water softening system such as the Tier1 48,000 Grain Water Softener
