How It Works
The NFGAC-20WH cartridge uses a specialized activated carbon media housed in a sturdy poly casing to absorb taste and odor-causing substances from your water. When water flows through the cartridge, contaminants such as chlorine and organic chemicals bind to the carbon surface, effectively removing them from your water supply. This process ensures that the water delivered to every faucet in your home tastes clean and smells fresh.
Installed as part of your whole house filtration system, the cartridge treats water at the point of entry, providing comprehensive coverage and protecting your plumbing and appliances from damage caused by these impurities.
What to Expect
Immediately after installation, you will notice a significant improvement in water taste and odor, making everyday water use more pleasant. During the first few weeks, the cartridge continues to optimize filtration efficiency as it settles into your system. Over time, the cartridge reliably maintains its performance, typically requiring replacement after treating a standard volume of water, depending on your household’s water usage and quality.
Regular monitoring and timely replacement ensure your filtration system operates smoothly and continues to deliver fresh, clean water consistently.
