Disinfectant Reduction¹

While disinfection is essential for killing harmful microbes in water, the process can pose potential health risks commonly found in treated municipal water supplies. They form when chlorine or other disinfectants react with natural organic matter.

Health Risks

Disinfectants can increase the risk of cancer and reproductive issues. Filtering these contaminants ensures optimal drinking water quality.

Common Contaminants
  • Chloramine (respiratory issues)
  • Chlorine (digestive problems)

Learn More About Disinfectants

Microplastics and Nominal Particulate Class I Average Reduction Up to 98.9%¹

Microplastics, particulates and chlorine can enter your water through runoff from manufacturing plants, plastic degradation, and other industrial activities. They are pervasive in urban and industrial areas.

Health Risks

Exposure to these toxins can cause a range of health problems including cancers, hormonal disruptions, and organ damage. Ensuring your water is free from these toxins protects your long-term health.

Common Contaminants
  • Microplastics(BPA) (hormone disruptor)
  • Class I Particulates (digestive problems)

Why do some filters have a blue/pink/black stem saver?

We’re excited to announce an upgrade to our Foundation Filters: transitioning from the original blue stem savers to a new, integrated black stem saver design. Unlike the previous version, was attached to the Foundation Filters with a food grade adhesive, the new stem savers are precision molded directly into the filter. This streamlined, one-piece construction enhances product durability and reduces the need for adhesives. The result is a stronger, more reliable filter that meets our highest standards for performance and quality. The filters with a pink stem saver are only available for the states of California and Iowa.
