Product Description

This Pentek CC-10 coconut carbon filter cartridge reduces chlorine taste and odor, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and sediment in residential and commercial drinking water. It has a nominal (85%) filtration rating of 20 microns. It will reduce free available chlorine (FAC) at 2 parts per million (ppm) by at least 75% in up to 7500 gallons at a flow rate of 1 gallon per minute (gpm). The filter media is made of coconut shell based granular activated carbon (GAC) for greater VOC reduction than standard GAC. The media is enclosed in a polystyrene outer casing and end caps, and there is a spun propylene post-filter to reduce carbon fines and other suspended particles. The nitrile butadiene rubber (Buna-N) and Santoprene gaskets seal the cartridge against the housing (sold separately). The filter operates over a temperature range of 40 to 125 degrees F (4.4 to 51.7 degrees C). This filter cartridge meets National Sanitation Foundation/American National Standards Institute (NSF/ANSI) standard 42 for quality assurance, and is for purification of residential and commercial drinking water.

Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.

4 Black Berkey Replacement Filters & 4 PF-2 Fluoride Filters Review

PF-2's are perhaps useless PVC placebos?

I wanted these fluoride filters to work, I really did.

After running 15 gallons run through 2 x Berkey black filters and 2 x PF-2 fluoride filters I sent a sample of this "filtered" water to 3M for a fluoride concentration test. The results confirmed that these so-called "fluoride filters" DON'T actually filter out very much fluoride, if any.

3M Lab Result: 0.36 ppm of FLUORIDE.

Municipal supply from this area averages 0.30 - 0.60ppm FLUORIDE.

"The fluoride concentration result for the sample you submitted is listed above.
This result was obtained using state-of-the-art equipment for accuracy. The method of testing is the fluoride ion selective electrode." (3M)

Avanti Energy Saver Water DispenserAvanti WATER DISPENSER WITH PUSH BUTTON / WHITE / NIGHT LIGHT / LOWERSTORAGE AREA & NEW ENERGY SAVER BUTTON

Avanti Energy Saver Water Dispenser Review

While it took a while to get here, my husband agrees with me that the Avanti Hot and Cold Water Dispenser was well worth the wait.

After our old dispenser gave up the ghost after twenty plus years, we looked at each other and said, 'what do we do now?' We tried shopping for another one locally but nobody had what we were looking for and we were, quite frankly, spoiled.

What do we like about the Avanti?

As the poet put it, let me count the ways.

First of all, because of its Energy Saver feature, the Avanti consumes less electricity than our old dispenser which ran constantly. It was also noisy. The Avanti, in contrast, is very quiet.

The Avanti features a neat little safety lock on the hot water faucet, which the old dispenser did not The storage space in the bottom, while it doesn't keep anything cold, is quite handy.

The Avanti's white plastic square design looks clean and nice. Our old brown metal dispenser did not. Also, unlike some of the round dispensers we looked at, the Avanti is not 'tippy'. Since it sits next to the kitchen doorway and a heavy traffic area, this was a real concern.

We also looked at dispensers that pumped from the bottom as well as the reviews and decided they were not for us.

The only CON was a chemical, almost musty, taste in the water for a few weeks after we got the Avanti, but that is now gone.

All in all, we are extremely pleased with the Avanti. It's much, much better than our old dispenser and we definitely give it 5 stars.

Update 7/3/2012

Now there is a problem. (Another reviewer had the same thing happen to them in December 2010 and, in their case, it was a broken hot water line.).

When I changed the three gallon bottle for a fresh one yesterday, everything seemed fine.

As recommended, (and as usual), I left the unit unplugged, ran 4 cups of water out through the hot water faucet then plugged in the unit and turned it on.

My husband woke me at around 11 p.m. with the news that there was a huge puddle around the dispenser and what should he do? I unplugged the unit, removed the bottle and emptied the reservoir through the hot water faucet. A seam along the top of the bottom cabinet door was wet and the drip catcher under the faucets was full.

Not wanting to spend the rest of the night working on the problem, I unplugged the unit and removed the bottle altogether.

After carefully drying everything off this afternoon, I replaced the bottle, removed another 4 cups of water via the hot water faucet, plugged in the unit again and turned on the hot and cold water. At first everything seemed fine. Then an hour later, I found another puddle. This time it appeared to be the result of an overflow from the reservoir, and the water level, which I had carefully marked on the outside of the bottle, had gone down about 25%.

We have spent the rest of today trying this and that. Now the new bottle is empty, there is still a puddle of water on the floor, tomorrow is July 4th and it's too late in the day to call Avanti's Customer Service. However, first thing, Monday, I'm going to call them and see what they have to say.

Film at 11.

Update, Tuesday, July 10, 2012

I called Avanti's Customer Service number yesterday. Once I reached a technician, she questioned me about the problem in detail and I listed all the steps I had followed.

She said, in her opinion, we needed a service call and gave the number of an authorized repair shop in our area.

The repairman arrived first thing this morning. After he checked out the entire unit and found no problem, he called Avanti's Customer Service.

The Avanti technician suggested that he look at the water bottle. He did and, sure enough, there was our problem. We'd been using three gallon plastic molded bottles which we'd purchased from the same health food store where we get our distilled water.

The bottle has four seams around the top, which fits snugly into the collar above the reservoir. When we examined the last bottle we used, we noticed some extra material on a couple of the seams. This extra material is known in the plastic molding industry as 'flash' and it's supposed to be trimmed or buffed off as soon as the part comes out of the press. (More years ago than I care to count, I worked as a press operator in a plastic molding plant which made glasses for American Airlines. So I know all about 'flash'.)

The Avanti Customer Service technician said this is not an uncommon problem with these plastic bottles.

As the repairman explained, the Avanti dispenser's operation depends on maintaining an intact vacuum seal between the bottle's top and the reservoir. When a defective bottle is installed, the sheer weight of three gallons of water creates the necessary vacuum seal and it'll stay that way with no leaks until a certain amount of water is removed from the dispenser. However, as the bottle's level goes down, it weighs less and raises slightly. This, in turn, exposes the four seams around the bottle's top. The space between the the extra seam material, or 'flash', creates an air space between the bottle and the reservoir collar. When this happens, the vacuum seal is lost. The bottle level then starts gradually going down by itself for no apparent reason and, after an hour or so, there's water all over the floor.

Because our dispenser is over two years old and out of warranty, we had to pay for the service call. However, it was worth it to us and I will still give the Avanti Water Dispenser an unequivocal five stars both for their Customer Service department's helpful and courteous response and the excellence of the product itself.
December 9, 2012
Update: Our Avanti dispenser is still working fine and, to date, we've had no more problems. I will say though, for anyone who might be interested, we only use distilled water which we purchase at a local health food for .89c per gallon. It's also very important to remove 4 cups of water from the dispenser via the hot water faucet immediately after replacing the bottle.

Aquasana AQ-4000P Countertop Water Filter System Review

I bought my counter top water filter about two years ago and have the Water for Life filter replacement plan. The water filter itself seems to work great. I fill up my own bottles before I leave the house and I have good, clean water all day. I ran out while at work one day and filled up my bottle from the tap. The water had so much chlorine in it I had to pour it back out. The problem with this filter system is twofold. A new filter will be sent to you every 6 months on the Water for Life plan. My filters are so clogged after 5 months that I leave a bottle to fill and come back for it. That's how slow the water comes out. A five month plan would be more optimal. The second problem is replacing the filters. I dread replacing them every time. Unless you have applied some sort of lube to the housing you are going to have a fight on your hands getting the caps unscrewed from the bottom of the machine. It is all sharp plastic under there so as soon as you get one to let go you scrape the skin from you knuckles. I have an open wound right now from my efforts. Once you get the machine open then you have to fight and get the old filters out. One has a valve that faces you so that one comes out easily. The other faces away and all you have to grab ahold of it are little fins so get your pliers ready. If the moons are aligned properly the filter will come out in one piece. If not, the cap of the filter will come off and be stuck inside the machine. Good luck with that and get ready to lose some more skin. Go ahead and call customer service when this happens to get a really amusing solution from someone that has no idea how to remove this piece from the machine. I lube that side's valve with olive oil before installing so hopefully it does not get stuck. My advice, wear sturdy gloves when changing the filter and have a full toolbox at hand.

Aquacera- 2pk- 9" Ceracarb Ceramic Filter for Gravity Use Review

After being introduced to the Berkey Light system by a friend 6 months ago, I've learned much about the poor quality and all out lies that the company that produces the black Berkey filters have made. They simply do not filter out all that they claim. After trying the black Berkey filters, I was mildly impressed with the quality of the water, but still preferred the taste of my Brita filter. But the black Berkey filters passed the red dye test, so I got rid of the Brita. I live in a very poor public water area in Colorado, so I wanted to protect my family the best I could.

About a month ago, the quality of my water had decreased. No priming or cleaning improved this. That's when I started researching these Berkey filters and learned that they do not last 1500 gallons, but should be replaced every 3 months like other filters out there (more like Brita filters). This is because they have no silver in them to ward off internal bacteria growth.

After some more research, Doulton is the company you want to stay with for ceramic filters. They have been around for a long time, and you could call them the "inventors" of the ceramic filter. Unfortunately, Berkey is trying to make money off their good name by selling an inferior product here in the States. These Aquacera Ceracarb filters are the best current filters from the Doulton/Aquacera line up. The only thing they do not filter out is flouride, but there are flouride attachment filters that you can buy.

I picked up 4 total of these filters, and they fit great in the Berkey Light container (I really like the blue Berkey light container!). The Ceracarb come in 7", 9", and 10" models. These are the 9" ones, but the 10" would also easily fit in the container.

Filtration rate with 4 filters is great and the water taste is SO MUCH BETTER than the black Berkey filters. My wife was wondering why I was switching filters so soon, but she was amazed at how much better the water tastes with these Ceracarb filters.

So I guess I'm a little mad being taking advantage of, but overall, I'm glad I was introduced to the gravity filter system idea and I'm also glad I was able to figure out and educate those around me about the horrible product that is the black Berkey filter. Spread the word!! Doulton/Aquacera is the best way to clean up your water!!
