* Cartridge life varies depending on filter type, usage and water
conditions (one month = approximately 4000 gallons).
** The smaller the micron rating, the smaller the size particle the
cartridge will filter. For comparison purposes, the human hair
has a diameter of approximately 70 microns. Particles smaller
than 40 microns are not visible to the human eye.
