Countertop Water Filters require little effort to install and has an on / off knob on the faucet valve that comes with them. Our Countertop Water Filters filter out hundreds of contaminants, leaving you with clean, clear, odorless and great tasting water. Just a few of contaminants the Countertop Water Filter removes are chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals, pestasides, silt, sediment, rust and dirt. Countertop Water Filters come in a variety of choices, they come in single 6 stages of filtration, double 7 stages of filteration, triple 8 stages of filtration and also in fluoride and ceramic

CRYSTAL QUEST® Triple Replaceable Cartridge Countertop Water Filter system eliminates the impurities of tap water to offer great taste and pureness. The perfect solution for any household, it is quick and easy to install and use, attractive, convenient, and effectively removes hundreds of contaminants from water*.
This solid state water filter uses the latest technologies that blend the adsorption capabilities of coconut shell activated carbon with REDOX and moreWater travels through 8 stages of filtration:
Sits on the counter and easily connects to any kitchen faucet.
-
8 stages of filtration
First, water travels through a sediment filter cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt. Also extend the life of water filter.
Next, through a 6-stage cartridge, removes hundreds of contaminants from water*
Then, through a solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's, insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents).*
- A diverter valve near the aerator switches between filtered and unfiltered water.
Conveniently provides 30,000 gallons (3-5 years, or when the flow of water will automatically either stop or slow down greatly.)** of water. Great for homes, apartments or office use.
EASY TO INSTALL & EASY TO USE
CRYSTAL QUEST ® water system is very simple to hook up and use. It installs in minutes without tools on all standard faucets 
From unfiltered water to filtered - just turn the diverter switch
Water travels through multiple stages of filtration:
In stage 1, Water flows through a sediment filter cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt. Also extends the life of the water filters.
In stage 2, water flows through pre and post one - micron filter pads (1 micron equals
1/25,000th of an inch), which remove suspended particles such as silt, sediment, cyst (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), sand, rust, dirt, and other un-dissolved matter.
In stages 3 and 4, water flows through a bed of media made of a special high-purity alloy blend of two dissimilar metals - copper and zinc (KDF-55D ®, and KDF-85D ®.) KDF is a major advancement in water treatment technology that works on the electro-chemical and spontaneous-oxidation-reduction (REDOX) principles. Chlorine is instantaneously and almost inexhaustibly oxidized.
Tests on KDF/GAC cartridge have shown 99+% chlorine removal past 20,000 gallons of water. In comparison, carbon cartridges of comparable volumes drop below 90% effectiveness after only 4,000 gallons.
Iron and hydrogen sulfide are oxidized into insoluble matter and attach to the surface of the media. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, copper, nickel, chromium, cadmium, aluminum, and other dissolved metals are removed from the water by the electrochemical process. They are attracted to the surface of the media, much like a magnet. The media inhibits bacterial growth throughout the entire unit. In fact, it has been shown to be reduced up to 90%, eliminating the need for silver, which is commonly used in carbon-only filters (silver is considered a pesticide by the EPA and, as such, must be registered with them).
Is copper or zinc added to the water in any significant amount? On 2.3 ppm chlorinated water, <0.05 mg/l copper and only 0.46 mg/l zinc were measured. The EPA aesthetic levels are 1.0 mg/l for copper and 5.0 mg/l for zinc. Both zinc and copper are essential minerals for good health - the FDA recommends a daily intake of 15 mg of zinc and 2 mg of copper. Read more about KDF
In stage 5, water flows through ion exchange resins, reducing heavy metals such as lead, copper, aluminum, and water hardness.
In stage 6, water flows through granulated activated carbon (GAC). GAC is universally recognized and widely used as an effective adsorbent for a wide variety of organic contaminants, such as chlorine (99.9%), chemicals linked to cancer (THM's, benzine) pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), PCB's, MTBE's and hundreds of other chemical contaminants that may be present in water causing bad taste and odors in your drinking water.
Carbon is extremely porous and provides a large surface area for contaminants to collect. Carbon-only filters must also use their capacity for chlorine removal, resulting in a shortened life. They also may use a bituminous coal carbon, which is good at removing chlorine, but not as effective at removing chemicals. We use a high-grade coconut shell carbon that is most effective at removing chemicals. Coconut shell carbon provides a significantly higher volume of micro-pores than either coal, wood or lignite based carbon. As a result, it is more effective than other carbon types in removing trihalomethanes (THM's) and other chemicals from municipally supplied water. Since our REDOX media removes the chlorine before it reaches the carbon, the carbon capacity is not wasted on chlorine and is free to concentrate more effectively on organic contaminants.

In stage 7, water flows through another one-micron filtration pad for further reduction of undesirable particles. The end result is a great reduction or total elimination of a wide variety of contaminants.
In stage 8, water travel through a solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOC's), insecticides, pesticides and industrial solvents. * if present in the water
** Varies with condition and amount of water consumption.
*** No replacement cartridge filter change is necessary!
