Sink Filtration or Drinking Water Upgrade Options, Based on Consumer Preference, Need or Local Water Conditions:
For the additional drinking safeguard of lead and cyst removal (DWS)

Reverse osmosis (RO3), if applicable based on consumer preference or local water issues
Warning:
These or other variations of these type of filters are NOT whole home water filtration!
These units have been mistakenly offered to distributors as inexpensive whole home filters. Refer to other
point of entry units (such as EWS/CWL Series whole home water filtration, EWS-P Series for iron removal)
which provide flow rate capabilities for a home application, backwashing, and long periods of time between
media (no filter cartridges) replacements and the actual removal of issues depending on water application.
