Q's and A's

Q: If the countertop system is rated at 10,000 gallons, how do I know when the filter should be replaced? What criteria was used to determine these capacities? Is a flow meter available?

A: The countertop was certified at 5,000 gallons. The testing protocol required units making health claims to successfully perform to 200% of their rated capacity. In other words, we tested to 10,000 gallons to get a 5,000 gallon claim. Totalizing flow meters, which show the number of gallons processed, are very expensive, so instead we recommend that the entire WES-10 unit be replaced every 3 to 5 years.

Q: Does the countertop system filter mercury?
