One Cartridge, Two Jobs, Tight Cabinet Fit

This is the sensible middle of the under-sink fluoride range: the combined fluoride and SMART cartridge does what the double-housing system does, in a housing five inches wide, for ten dollars less. Cabinets under a kitchen sink are usually full, and a single housing that still covers fluoride, chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals and cyst-sized particles solves a real problem that the triple does not. Crystal Quest publishes the operating envelope properly, quarter-inch connection, 20 to 60 psi, 40 to 90 degrees F and a 0.3 to 0.5 GPM ceiling. The cost of the compact format is media volume, and the page gives no capacity or replacement interval for the combined cartridge at all. As everywhere in this catalogue, no certifier lists the system, so the fluoride performance is the manufacturer number and the buyer is trusting the brand rather than a test report.

PROS
  • Seven stages in a five-inch housing, the tightest fluoride fit in the range
  • Cheaper than the double-housing fluoride system it replaces
  • Aluminium oxide fluoride media available on request as an alternative to bone char
  • Full operating envelope published including connection size and pressure range
  • Faucet and installation hardware included
CONS
  • No capacity or replacement interval published for the combined cartridge
  • Single housing means less media than the multi-stage systems at similar money
  • Maximum flow of 0.3 to 0.5 GPM is slow for a kitchen tap
  • No NSF, IAPMO or WQA listing under the Crystal Quest name
  • One-year limited warranty and filter media cannot be returned

A single-housing under-sink system running seven stages inside one cartridge: pre and post one-micron pads, fluoride charcoal GAC with aluminium oxide on request, Eagle Redox Alloy 6500 and 9500, ion exchange resin and coconut shell carbon. Quarter-inch connection, 20 to 60 psi, 0.3 to 0.5 GPM maximum flow. Supplied with faucet and installation hardware.
