In Stage 1, water travels through a sediment filter cartridge that removes 99.99% of microbiological cysts, cryptosporidium and Giardia.
In Stage 2, water passes through granulated activated carbon (GAC) cartridge. GAC is universally recognized and widely used as an effective adsorbent for a wide variety of organic contaminants, such as chlorine (99.9%), chemicals linked to cancer (THM's, benzine), pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, volatile organic compounds (VOC's), PCB's, MTBE's and hundreds of other chemical contaminants that may be present in water that cause bad taste and odors in your drinking water.

In Stage 5, water passes through another granulated activated carbon (GAC) cartridge.
