Which is why the NSF certified it under standard 53 to “reduce cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia by mechanical means”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOh, and also standard 42 for taste\/smell\/other aesthetic impurities. Oh, and it’s also a full flow filter, so you don’t need a separate faucet or anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may be small, but this baby packs a punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat about changing the filter? How often should I do that?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe could spend hours talking about gallons and average family usage, and all kinds of variables. But, the simplest way to look at it is this: Replace it when the water pressure starts to slow down OR when it’s been more than a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can push it past a year, if you really want to, but once you start getting into the year and a half to two year range, I’d start to get a little skittish about safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs far as actually changing it, it’s about as easy as changing a light bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, flip the handle up to shut off the water. Then, twist the cartridge (lefty loosey) and pull it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen, take your replacement, push it back into the head and twist (righty tighty). Flip the handle down to turn the water back on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen, run the tap for a few minutes to flush out any dust or little bits.
