This water filter replacement is tested to NSF\/ANSI 42, 53 and 401, reducing lead by up to 99.7%, PFOS 99.1%, PFOA 98.0% and chlorine 98.6%. Calcium and magnesium stay in, essential minerals that also give water its taste. If you test it with a TDS meter the reading will barely move. That is correct: TDS counts calcium and magnesium as well as contaminants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFOUR FILTERS, ABOUT 8 MONTHS - Each activated carbon water filter cartridge handles about 60 gallons or 2 months, so a 4 pack covers roughly 240 gallons and eight months of drinking water. Buying the pack is how you stop thinking about it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE ORIGINAL LARQ FILTER, NOT A COPY - Made by LARQ for LARQ pitchers, so the seal, the flow rate and the tested performance are the ones the pitcher was designed around. Third-party cartridges sold as compatible are not the genuine part, and the figures above are LARQ's own independently tested results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFITS LARQ PITCHER, PITCHER 2 AND PITCHER PUREVIS - A direct water filter replacement cartridge for every LARQ pitcher: the LARQ Pitcher, the LARQ Pitcher 2 and the LARQ Pitcher PureVis. One cartridge, whichever one you own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLANT-BASED NANO ZERO CARBON - The activated carbon in this pure water filter comes from plants rather than petroleum. LARQ Nano Zero technology reduces lead, mercury, HAA5 disinfection byproducts, benzene and pharmaceuticals, and leaves the minerals alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEASY TO SWAP, 1,800 BOTTLES SAVED - Soak the new filter cartridge 10 minutes, tap out the air pockets, snap it in and pour the first batch away. No tools. Each filter replaces around 454 single-use plastic bottles, so a 4 pack is roughly 1,800 over its life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWHAT THIS IS A 4 pack of original LARQ Advanced water filter replacement cartridges, made by LARQ for LARQ pitchers. Activated carbon, plant-based, and tested to NSF\/ANSI 42, 53 and 401. FITS EVERY LARQ PITCHER A direct replacement cartridge for the LARQ Pitcher, the LARQ Pitcher 2 and the LARQ Pitcher PureVis. THE GENUINE PART Third-party cartridges are sold as compatible with LARQ pitchers. They are not the original filter and they were not tested to produce the results below. This is the cartridge the pitcher was designed around: the seal, the flow rate and the filtration are the ones LARQ specified. WHAT IT REDUCES 70+ contaminants in all. Independently tested figures for the Advanced filter: lead up to 99.7%, PFOS 99.1%, PFOA 98.0%, chlorine 98.6%, HAA5 disinfection byproducts up to 99.8% and benzene 95.3%. Also mercury, cadmium, copper, pharmaceuticals, herbicides and pesticides. WHAT IT LEAVES IN Calcium and magnesium pass through. They are essential minerals and they are what stops filtered water tasting flat. A TDS meter measures dissolved solids, and those minerals are dissolved solids, so the reading on filtered water will barely move. That is the filter working as designed, not failing. HOW LONG A FILTER LASTSAbout 60 gallons or 2 months of normal household use per cartridge. Four cartridges is roughly 240 gallons and about 8 months. Heavier use or heavier sediment will shorten it. NANO ZERO CARBON LARQ Nano Zero technology, with activated carbon derived from plants rather than petroleum. No harsh chemicals in the filtration process. HOW TO CHANGE IT Soak the new cartridge in water for 10 minutes. Tap it to release trapped air pockets. Snap it into the pitcher reservoir, fill, and pour the first batch away. Harmless black carbon dust can appear on the first fill. WHAT IT IS NOT Not rated for fluoride. Not a water softener. The cartridge is not dishwasher safe: rinse the pitcher, not the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LARQ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64311551557962,"sku":null,"price":65.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1077\/8276\/6922\/files\/71kPgN_Ly1L._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1794302615","url":"https:\/\/nelida.shop\/products\/larq-original-pitcher-water-filter-replacement-cartridge-4-pack-nsf-53-37dfadd03576","provider":"nelida.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
