This is the replacement water filter cartridge for our Pearl-M.
Reduce the bad taste and smell of chlorine in your water as well as removing lead and other heavy metals. You should choose this cartridge if you live in a house that has lead pipework.
This cartridge uses a combination of Kinetic Degradation Fluxion (KDF) and Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC). KDF removes chlorine, lead, mercury, iron and hydrogen sulphide from water supplies through a basic chemical process called redox (oxidation/reduction).
When KDF is mixed with GAC it reduces other heavy metals such as aluminium, arsenic, cadmium, copper, nickel, chromium and other water soluble heavy metals. This cartridge will also remove sediment, dirt, rust, sand, silt, scale bacteria, algae, VOC's, THMs and much more.

Why do I need to change the o-ring?
You can tell if the seals start leaking, which is obvious, I know.
Even if there are no leaks you may find that the profile of the O ring becomes flattened because of prolonged time under compression. The cross section should be round and if it's not it may not seal easily.
However, I recommend that you replace the O rings every two or three years as a precautionary measure.
One of the main reasons for changing O rings periodically is that as they age and compress, the housing bowl needs to be tightened excessively. That leads to difficulty loosening the bowl from the cap next time the cartridge needs to be replaced.
