Aquasana OptimH20® EQ-OPTM Whole House Water Filter Replacement Filters

OptimH2O® Filtration Technology

Using state of the art filtration technology, the EQ-OPTM is able to reduce contaminant levels with ease. Tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 53, it can effectively remove up to 99% of cysts and 98% of PFOA/PFOS. It can also reduce levels of Chlorine, Chloramine and many other chemicals by over 90%.

To achieve such performance results, the EQ-OPTM uses a 2-stage filtration process. For the first stage, the water passes through a 1-micron pre-filter that traps sediment and large particles that could clog the main filter.

For the second stage, the water passes through an ultra-dense carbon block that can achieve superior results over granular carbon filters. Additionally, the carbon block filters down to a 0.5-micron level, allowing it to trap a wide variety of common water contaminants.

However, despite its incredible filtration ability, the EQ-OPTM does not remove beneficial minerals from the water supply. Therefore, naturally occurring minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium remain, making the water healthier and tastier.

Replacement Method

Replacing the filter cartridge in the EQ-OPTM is a very straightforward process. The recommended replacement method is available in this Instruction Manual.

To complete to process, no power tools or specialised pieces of equipment are needed. However, to ensure an accident-free experience, be sure to follow all the steps carefully.

To ensure optimal filter usage, the EQ-OPTM internally detects water flow rates. Therefore, it can calculate exactly when the filter has reached its maximum capacity, allowing for compromise-free filtration.

The cap on top of the main filter tank displays the filter capacity information through LED lights. If the LED's are green, the filter is in good health, if they are yellow, the cartridge is nearing the end of its life, and if they are red, the cartridge needs to be changed immediately.
