The XL7000 is our top pick for your home or office.
System 3008
Bottled water quality (0.5 micron) filtration for applications up to 2 GPM: standard-flow showers, tapping off risers etc.
Please note: For complete filtration of a shower or similar you will need two systems, one each for hot and cold. Hot and cold water supplies must be filtered and thereafter directed separately. The hot and cold filters are identical in construction.
For flow rates higher than the max flow rate per system, the solution is to manifold two or more of each (hot and/or cold).
The high-flow carbon block cartridge used in Better Waters System 3008 offers extremely low pressure drop and maintains efficiency for optimal chlorine taste & odor reduction.

WARNING: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe, or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
NOTE: The contaminants or substances removed or reduced by this water treatment device are not necessarily in your water.
NOTE: Performance capacity depends on system design, flow rate and certain other application conditions. Certain states require system registration or certification for health-related reduction claims.
NOTE: A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines (very fine black powder). After installation and before using the water, follow the instructions for flushing the cartridge to remove fines.
Pharmaceutical-grade 0.2-micron membrane filtration. (See below for what this takes out.)
Reduces over 99.99% of water-borne heterotrophic bacteria as tested by 3M and verified by its laboratory.
Can be installed directly into an existing cold water supply to a sink or through a dedicated dispenser.
Estimated cartridge longevity: 12 months.
See below for NSF-certified (Standards 42 and 53) contaminant reduction claims.
