Review on πŸ’§ Enhance Your Drinking Water Quality with DuPont WFDW120009W Universal Drinking Filtration System by Jose Guevara

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good activated carbon block filter

I wanted an activated carbon block filter. I have access to tap water, bottled water, reverse osmosis systems and charcoal blocks and for my household needs a charcoal block is the best solution. I got this and installed it directly on the cold water tap in the kitchen sink (no second drinking water tap). It reduces the flow a little, but much faster than a fridge filter. We still have full flow for hot water which we normally use for washing large volume dishes etc. I'm rating this one star because the system comes with a 20001 cartridge, which I don't choose. I had to purchase the 70001 cartridge separately and don't need the 20001 cartridge. I'd rather have a choice when purchasing the system or separate them. I recommend cartridge 70001 for this case. This is the best carbon block cartridge for 10 inch Dupont filter housing. It has an NSF/ANSI health rating that surpasses the 20001 or 40001 models, for example. All carbon block cartridges perform the same and offer some improvements. , but only this 70001 is designed to remove more than just odor/taste and particles. It meets NSF/ANSI 53 for the removal of lead, atrazine, lindane, as well as cysts, bacteria and viruses. Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), authorized by federal law. It lists all violations of EPA standards. The most common problem for my water utility is the presence of E. coli bacteria. These are usually harmless bacteria, but they are there because they are easy to culture. However, they indicate a high probability that some harmful bacteria are present. In my semi-rural area, the source is usually animal waste. The waterworks solves that problem and this filter will help if they ever miss their target l. My water utility does all the hard work to get drinking water for my home from a proven well. I don't need an expensive and extremely inefficient reverse osmosis system that removes all taste from the water, then you have to add minerals again and so on. This carbon block cartridge does what I need better than RO and has significantly lower upfront and recurring costs.

Pros
  • Universal system for all DuPont universal drinking water cartridges
Cons
  • So far so good
