The way to go!
KDF/GAC filters have been around a long time. They are vastly superior to other filters. I have, in addition to the under the counter water filter with a KDF/GAC cartridge, a whole house sediment filter using a 10 micron pleated filter. The sediment filter keeps material from ending up in the KDF/GAF filter and thereby extending the KDG/GAC filter's useful life.
The current KDF/GAC filter now in use was installed in 1999. It is rated at 20,000 gallons. (This filter can easily do twice that amount and still be 93% to 99% efficient depending on what substances are being removed.) At 20,000 gallons, that would mean 4,000 days at 5 gallons per day for drinking and cooking purposes. That is just short of 11 years. We don't use 5 gallons per day for making coffee, cooking food and drinking purposes and this filter is still going strong and doing an excellent job. You may use tap water to rinse food for preparation, just don't cook with it.
You will know when the KDF/GAC filter's...
Works good.
Before installing this filter my water had an off taste. After installation my water had a cool, crisp, and refreshing taste.
Water taste is good
Was much lighter than the KDF filter it replaced, but that's to be expected since it was about half the cost. I think it's good value. There was a mixup with the order and I was initially sent the wrong item. They told me to discard the wrong item and the order was corrected with no fuss.
