One cartridge carrying seven stages including fluoride, in the smallest countertop housing Crystal Quest sells.
$99
Usability
This is the compact answer to the multi-housing countertop systems: everything the double configuration does in one 5 by 13 inch housing, for ten dollars less. The combined fluoride and SMART cartridge covers fluoride, chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals and cyst-sized particles, which is the sensible pairing for municipal water, and it takes up a third of the counter space of a triple. The compromise is media volume, and Crystal Quest publishes no capacity or replacement interval for the combined cartridge at all, only a part number. Flow is the usual 0.3 to 0.5 GPM. As with everything in the range there is no certifier listing, so the seven-stage description is a description of construction rather than of tested performance.
- Seven stages in a single housing, a third of the footprint of a triple
- Cheaper than the double-housing fluoride countertop it replaces
- Pre and post one-micron pads bracket the media bed
- Available in polypropylene or stainless steel
- Full operating range published: 20 to 60 psi, 40 to 90 degrees F
- No capacity or replacement interval published for the combined cartridge
- Single housing means less media than the multi-stage systems at similar money
- Stainless version costs forty dollars more for no filtration change
- No NSF, IAPMO or WQA listing under the Crystal Quest name
- One-year limited warranty and filter media cannot be returned
