1/4 Turn installation. Automatic inlet shut-off valve that closes when filter is removed. Hands never touch the actual filter media and, therefore, limit the potential for introduction of bacteria. Outer protective wrap. Spun Polypropylene prefilter mesh to prevent large, coarse sediment and particles from entering and clogging filter media. High-grade filter is made with activated carbon and patented ATS lead-removal media. Radial flow-thru design provides more surface area for untreated water while final filter mesh prevents loose carbon from entering water.
