CuZn Under-Counter Water Filters

Under-Counter Water Filters are ideal for use in Restaurants, Kitchens,
Wet Bars, RVs, Boats, Bathroom Sinks . . . anywhere fresh, pure,
pollution-free, great tasting washing, drinking or cooking water is desired.

Clean water is the lifeline to good health and CuZn™ Under-Counter Water Filters provide the best possible water for cooking, drinking and washing every time you turn on the faucet.

The CuZn™ Under-Counter Water Filter works beneath any home or office sink to filter up to 50,000 gallons (depending on model) of cold water on demand! Using a combination of patented trace minerals (Copper-Zinc) which has been tested to NSF standard 42 and 61, and acid wash coconut shell carbon, they remove and/or reduce chlorine, sediment, algae, molds, scale, bad taste, odors, and other undesirable contaminants that may effect the quality of your water supply. And unlike carbon only filters, bacteria can't grow inside the bacteriostatic CuZn filters.

The CuZn Under-Counter can also filter hot water, provided it is flushed with cold water afterward to release the heat that would otherwise be trapped within the filter housing. The CuZn Refillable Under-Counter Water Filter is also excellent in situations where sulfur and iron are present and a CuZn Whole House system is not feasible. Sulfur and iron expends the media more quickly than other contaminants, so refilling the system is economical and environmentally responsible.

Single Cartridge Under-Counter Refillable 1-Micron Water Filter

The refillable under-counter models (shown in picture to the right) are maintenance free and install in about 15 minutes, hooking up to the cold water supply - when you turn on the cold water it's all CuZn pure. Under-counter models are available in three different micron sizes; the smaller the micron the more particulate is removed from the water. However, please note that the smaller the micron size, the sooner the filter must be replaced because the filter becomes clogged sooner. You can get an idea of how much particulate your water has by looking at the contents of the filter by removing the strainer at the end of your sink faucet.

The higher capacity, longer lasting 20-micon under-counter water filters are not refillable.

Need to Remove Chloramines, Fluoride, Arsenic, Nitrates or Cysts?

Some water contaminants require addition filtration media to solve the problem. CuZn offers double- and triple-cartridge water filtration systems, in countertop and under-counter models, that can treat a variety of water pollution problems. See each respective section for more information about how CuZn water systems treat that specific problem:

Cysts and Pharmceutical Drugs

Common water-borne microbiological cysts are Cryptosporidium or Giardia cysts. If your municipal water department is using chlorine and/or chloramines to treat your water, cysts should not be a problem unless there is a contamination in the water lines somewhere between your house and the water processing plant. If you are on well water, cysts are potentially a problem. A water test can detect cysts in your water.

Also, a recent analysis of tap water supplies in major metropolitan areas discovered that the water was contaminated with trace amounts of pharmaceuticals including antibiotics, anti-seizure medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, psychotropic drugs, pain medications and even caffeine. If you suspect that your water may be contaminate with cysts or pharmaceutical drugs, upgrade to the 1-micron absolute acid wash coconut shell carbon filter.

Chloramines

Chloramine is a mixture of chlorine and ammonia, which is added to the water of many cities as a substitute for free chlorine. It is often referred to in the plural, as “chloramines,” because it can take on a number of forms according to the pH and mineral content of the water. The use of monochloramine as a primary disinfectant in a municipal water supply presents specific removal issues due to its low degradation rate. This means that the disinfectant will be persistent and have a long life within a municipal water supply. If your water is treated with chloromines, click here.

Fluoride and Fluorine Removal

Fluoride is a severe biological poison. Being intensely negative, it unlatches positive hydrogen bonds in enzymes and proteins. most states add at least 1 ppm of sodium fluoride or fluorosilic acid(radioactive toxic waste that contains fluoride) to the water supply, even though it has been proven that at least 113 medical side effects from cancer to headaches are caused by fluoride in the water. If your water is treated with fluoride or a fluoride deriviate, click here.

Arsenic

Arsenic is a semi-metal element that is odorless and tasteless. It enters drinking water supplies from natural deposits in the earth or from agricultural and industrial practices. Non-cancer effects can include thickening and discoloration of the skin, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting; diarrhea; numbness in hands and feet; partial paralysis; and blindness. Arsenic has been linked to cancer of the bladder, lungs, skin, kidney, nasal passages, liver and prostate. If your water has tested positive for arsenic, click here.

Nitrate Removal from Well Water or Springs

Drinking water high in nitrate is potentially harmful to human and animal health. Nitrate (NO3) is a naturally occurring form of nitrogen (N) which is very mobile in water. It is essential for plant growth and is often added to soil to improve productivity. Water moving down through soil after rainfall or irrigation carries dissolved nitrate with it to ground water. In this way, nitrate enters the water supplies of many homeowners who use wells or springs. If your source of water is a well or spring and tests have identified nitrate, click here.

Iron Removal (Orange Tint to Water)

To determine whether or not the CuZn filter will remove iron from your drinking water, here's a simple test you can do yourself: Fill a clear glass with water and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. If the iron settles to the bottom then the standard 5-micron CuZn Countertop Water Filter should be able to remove the majority of the iron particles. If the particles remain suspended, a filter won't help.
