Question 2

How often should I replace the filter?

Accepted Answer

Replace each cartridge after about 45 gallons or roughly every two months of typical use, whichever comes first. A 3-Pack covers about six months and a 6-Pack about a year.

Question 3

Do I need to prep a new filter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, briefly. Flush the new cartridge under cold running water for one to three minutes before first use. This clears loose carbon fines, which are harmless but can cloud the first pitcher. Then seat it in the lid, fill, and pour away the first batch if you notice any dust.

Question 4

What does the filter actually change about my water?

Accepted Answer

Three things. It reduces chlorine taste and odor with activated carbon. It adds calcium and magnesium minerals through an ion exchange stage. And it raises pH into the alkaline range through the mineral bed. The result is water with a crisp, rounded, mineral-water taste.

Question 5

How is this different from the filter my pitcher came with?

Accepted Answer

An ordinary carbon pitcher filter reduces chlorine taste and odor and stops there. This cartridge filters and alkalizes: it does the same filtration, then adds alkaline minerals back in and raises pH. Same pitcher, same fill-and-pour routine, better water.

Question 6

What is alkaline mineral water?

Accepted Answer

Water with a pH above neutral 7 that carries dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Minerals are what give good spring water its taste. This filter adds those minerals to your tap water as it filters.

Question 7

Will the water taste different?

Accepted Answer

Most people notice a smoother, cleaner taste, closer to bottled mineral water than to flat filtered water. Taste is also the first sign a cartridge is spent: when the water starts tasting like it did before, swap the filter.

Question 8

How should I store filtered water?

Accepted Answer

Like any filtered water, it is best fresh. Keep the pitcher in the fridge, drink it within a day or two, and rinse the pitcher regularly.

Question 9

How fast is shipping?

Accepted Answer
