CuZn Water Filtration Systems
CuZn Countertop Water Filters
Countertop Water Filters are ideal for use in Restaurants, Kitchens,
Wet Bars,
Bathroom Sinks . . . anywhere fresh, pure, pollution-free,
great
tasting drinking or cooking water is desired.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Delta Faucets DO NOT WORK
with CuZn Countertop Water Systems
Clean
water is the lifeline to good health and CuZn™ Refillable Countertop
Water Filters provide the best possible water for cooking, drinking
and washing every time you turn on the faucet.
Using a combination of trace minerals (copper and zinc in the patented form of KDF®, which meets NSF standards 42 and 61) and coconut shell carbon, the CuZn Refillable Countertop water filter removes more than 600 contaminants from water, including chlorine, lead, heavy metals, trihalomethanes (THMs), herbicides and pesticides much the same as Nature uses the earth and its minerals to cleanse water. (Unlike carbon-only filters, bacteria can't grow inside the bacteriostatic CuZn filters!) See How CuZn Filtration Works.
The CuZn Refillable Countertop Water Filter is also excellent in situations where sulfur and iron are present and a CuZn Whole House system is not feasible. Sulfur and iron expends the media more quickly than other contaminants, so refilling the system is economical and environmentally responsible.

Single Cartridge Countertop Water Filters
The CuZn Refillable Countertop Water Filter system treats all incoming cold water that goes to the kitchen or bathroom sink. Turn on your cold water faucet for an uninterrupted supply of fresh, clear, filtered water. The CuZn Countertop can also filter hot water, provided it is flushed with cold water afterward to release the heat that would otherwise be trapped within the filter housing. The CuZn™ Single Cartridge Countertop Water Filters are available in the following models:
Swivel
Spout Style
Swivel Spout models (shown in picture to the right) allows taller glasses and pots to be placed under it to catch the water. The water diverter is attached to the end of the sink faucet, and has a button that is engaged to divert the water through the filter and out the water filter spout.
Countertop swivel spout models are available in three different micron sizes; the smaller the micron the more particulate is removed from the water. However, please note that the smaller the micron size, the sooner the filter must be replaced because the filter becomes clogged sooner. You can get an idea of how much particulate your water has by looking at the contents of the filter by removing the strainer at the end of your sink faucet.

Double Diverter
Model
Double Diverter model (shown in picture to the right) has a twin-hose set-up so that water enters the filter from the kitchen faucet, goes through the filter, and then returns to the kitchen faucet where it is released. The advantage of the double diverter model is that the filter body can be set back away from the sink. The double diverter model comes standard with a 35" length hose (a 72" length hose is available on request). The double diverter model is available in the following options:
- 20 Micron Non-Refillable 20,000 gallon water filter $149.00

Need to Remove Chloramines, Fluoride, Arsenic, Nitrates or Cysts?
Some water contaminants require addition filtration media to solve the problem. CuZn offers double- and triple-cartridge water filtration systems, in countertop and under-counter models, that can treat a variety of water pollution problems. See each respective section for more information about how CuZn water systems treat that specific problem:
Cysts and Pharmceutical Drugs
Common water-borne microbiological cysts are Cryptosporidium or Giardia cysts. If your municipal water department is using chlorine and/or chloramines to treat your water, cysts should not be a problem unless there is a contamination in the water lines somewhere between your house and the water processing plant. If you are on well water, cysts are potentially a problem. A water test can detect cysts in your water.
Also, a recent analysis of tap water supplies in major metropolitan areas discovered that the water was contaminated with trace amounts of pharmaceuticals including antibiotics, anti-seizure medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, psychotropic drugs, pain medications and even caffeine. If you suspect that your water may be contaminate with cysts or pharmaceutical drugs, upgrade to the 1-micron absolute acid wash coconut shell carbon filter.
Chloramines
Chloramine is a mixture of chlorine and ammonia, which is added to the water of many cities as a substitute for free chlorine. It is often referred to in the plural, as “chloramines,” because it can take on a number of forms according to the pH and mineral content of the water. The use of monochloramine as a primary disinfectant in a municipal water supply presents specific removal issues due to its low degradation rate. This means that the disinfectant will be persistent and have a long life within a municipal water supply. If your water is treated with chloromines, click here.
Fluoride and Fluorine Removal
Fluoride is a severe biological poison. Being intensely negative, it unlatches positive hydrogen bonds in enzymes and proteins. most states add at least 1 ppm of sodium fluoride or fluorosilic acid(radioactive toxic waste that contains fluoride) to the water supply, even though it has been proven that at least 113 medical side effects from cancer to headaches are caused by fluoride in the water. If your water is treated with fluoride or a fluoride deriviate, click here.
Arsenic
Arsenic is a semi-metal element that is odorless and tasteless. It enters drinking water supplies from natural deposits in the earth or from agricultural and industrial practices. Non-cancer effects can include thickening and discoloration of the skin, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting; diarrhea; numbness in hands and feet; partial paralysis; and blindness. Arsenic has been linked to cancer of the bladder, lungs, skin, kidney, nasal passages, liver and prostate. If your water has tested positive for arsenic, click here.
Nitrate Removal from Well Water or Springs
Drinking water high in nitrate is potentially harmful to human and animal health. Nitrate (NO3) is a naturally occurring form of nitrogen (N) which is very mobile in water. It is essential for plant growth and is often added to soil to improve productivity. Water moving down through soil after rainfall or irrigation carries dissolved nitrate with it to ground water. In this way, nitrate enters the water supplies of many homeowners who use wells or springs. If your source of water is a well or spring and tests have identified nitrate, click here.
Iron Removal (Orange Tint to Water)
To determine whether or not the CuZn filter will remove iron from your drinking water, here's a simple test you can do yourself: Fill a clear glass with water and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. If the iron settles to the bottom then the standard 5-micron CuZn Countertop Water Filter should be able to remove the majority of the iron particles. If the particles remain suspended, a filter won't help.
