The Crystal Quest Fluoride Removal SMART Single Cartridge Countertop Water Filtration System is a point-of-use drinking water filter designed to sit on the counter and connect to a kitchen faucet. It uses a single replaceable cartridge with seven stages of filtration, including fluoride removal media, Eagle Redox Alloy 6500 and 9500 media, ion exchange resin, granular activated carbon, and pre/post one-micron filter pads. This countertop system is available in white polypropylene or stainless steel housing options. A diverter valve lets users switch between filtered and unfiltered water at the faucet. With a listed 0.3-0.5 GPM maximum flow rate, it is suitable for faucet-connected point-of-use drinking water applications in homes, apartments, and offices.
This Crystal Quest system combines fluoride-focused media with the brand’s SMART filtration blend inside one countertop cartridge. The design gives buyers a compact point-of-use option for municipal water applications where inorganic fluoride reduction is the goal.
Water travels through pre and post one-micron filter pads, fluoride removal media, Eagle Redox Alloy 6500 and 9500 media, ion exchange resin, and granular activated carbon. These stages are designed to help reduce suspended particles, fluoride, heavy metals such as lead, copper, and aluminum, chlorine, chloramine, pesticides, herbicides, pharmaceutical by-products, petroleum byproducts, and other listed contaminants when present in the water.
The system is available in white polypropylene or stainless steel. The polypropylene model provides a white housing option, while the stainless steel model provides a different housing material and countertop appearance.
The filter sits on the countertop and connects to a kitchen faucet using a diverter valve. This setup allows filtered water on demand without converting the system into an under-sink or whole-house installation.
This single-cartridge countertop filter is built for everyday drinking water use where a compact faucet-connected system is preferred over a larger under-sink or whole-house setup. It is suitable for homes, apartments, offices, and kitchen counters where point-of-use filtration is the goal.
Choose the white polypropylene or stainless steel housing based on your kitchen setup and appearance preferences. Both versions use the same single-cartridge countertop format and connect at the faucet with a diverter valve.
